They did it deliberately GeneMcM Nov 2017 #91

NO NO NO. NO, DFA. You MUST support NORTHAM. american_ideals Nov 2017 #3

Seriously, we have literal NAZIs and neo-confederate white supremacists holding rallies... renegade000 Nov 2017 #8

This is a very bad move. We need to support the good guys like Northam american_ideals Nov 2017 #9

Well, based on the address in their press release... renegade000 Nov 2017 #10

Who made the dumb decision is what I want to know. Because that person is harming progressives. american_ideals Nov 2017 #12

True, because that is where HOWARD DEAN set it up - it is run by his brother karynnj Nov 2017 #72

Its not even about racism, but about what Donna Brazile said R B Garr Nov 2017 #16

Was that part of the statement they made ? KTM Nov 2017 #33

Facing fact:There is a Left that is anti- Democratic delisen Nov 2017 #34

Some are anti democracy as well. BannonsLiver Nov 2017 #48

Yes it is like an authoritarian left that is delisen Nov 2017 #83

Yeah, the German far left in Weimar actually had, "first Hitler, then our time!" as a motto renegade000 Nov 2017 #50

WTF? Gillespie is openly neo-Nazi neo-Confederate, KKK lagomorph777 Nov 2017 #78

Why would any Democrat want a Republican redrawing Virginia's Congressional Districts? dem4decades Nov 2017 #4

Because as people suffer (including the immigrant families they claim to care for), they get to say. SaschaHM Nov 2017 #6

A gerrymander will result in this... Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #57

The commies are back? HopeAgain Nov 2017 #30

I think the point is the extreme right has a lot in common with the extreme left. nycbos Nov 2017 #36

Does Warren even know all the facts surrounding the Brazlle allegations? Liz really crushed me. coolsandy Nov 2017 #15

Agreed. Dawson Leery Nov 2017 #17

Senator Warren really disappointed me today with her reckless and incorrect comment. (eom) StevieM Nov 2017 #21

No you do not get to attack Liz Warren like that american_ideals Nov 2017 #37

It wasn't much of an attack. I just said she disappointed me today. In any event, I don't dispute StevieM Nov 2017 #44

That was very mild and was restricted to one comment. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #79

She's my senator and I must say, I am very disappointed in her. smirkymonkey Nov 2017 #47

What about states that don't have party registration? former9thward Nov 2017 #46

Get this: The head of the group screaming racism is a 48 year old white guy from VT. SaschaHM Nov 2017 #42

It's all very Sarandonesque. NurseJackie Nov 2017 #67

I officially don't trust DFA after this bullshit baby out with bathwater crap uponit7771 Nov 2017 #26

Have these people received any donations in Rubles lately. nycbos Nov 2017 #35

Just Like Those Who Didn't Want to Vote for Hillary -- And Now We Have Trump. Gillespie is Better? dlk Nov 2017 #43

That doesn't seem like a good idea Tiggeroshii Nov 2017 #51

If they are doing this, they may as well just say vote Trump/GOP. Doodley Nov 2017 #52

That is what they are saying. This means...vote for Gillespie. Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #56

So the primary will cost us Virginia? The gift the keeps on giving...yeah... Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #53

While I think it's a poor decision by DFA, it's inaccurate to say it's because of Brazile PatsFan87 Nov 2017 #58

The timing is suspicious Pugster Nov 2017 #87

Intentionally misleading thread. KPN Nov 2017 #60

It seems to be one more attempt to divide us. I say "nyet." Vinca Nov 2017 #61

You lied about my thread Pugster Nov 2017 #66

BS. KPN Nov 2017 #68

What do you think about the group founder's tweet? Pugster Nov 2017 #85

I don't even care about the supposed Sanders/Brazile link...why the hell are they not supporting Kirk Lover Nov 2017 #69

Northam said he would sign a bill KPN Nov 2017 #70

Ok..but can't they disagree with that position but still support him? Who is the better Kirk Lover Nov 2017 #71

If "support" means voluntarily donating their financial resources to Northam, apparently not. KPN Nov 2017 #73

This is a ratfucking, plain and simple Blue_Tires Nov 2017 #63

Exactly. n/t FSogol Nov 2017 #65

Really? Who are these people? KPN Nov 2017 #89

What does Howard Dean have to say about his organization he founded doing this? Autumn Nov 2017 #84

Howard Dean is in shock. He tweeted this: Pugster Nov 2017 #86

It's not as if Gillespie wouldn't sign a bill banning sanctuary cities in a heartbeat. Autumn Nov 2017 #88

AND Gillespie is already running on it... Thanks for nothing you DFA useful idiots... Blue_Tires Nov 2017 #90

Yup and I don't doubt for a moment that they strategized with the Cons on this either GeneMcM Nov 2017 #92
