You can give that ONE PERSON on her facebook page who asked the question as to what she was doing that link to explain what she was working on in direct support of her colleagues who were speaking from the Senate floor.

You're not trying to compare her to Sanders, are you?

Because I'm starting to get that impression--that you are.

She's retiring in January...Sanders is not. His term runs through 2018.

She didn't run for POTUS this year. You do know this, right? But Sanders DID.

She did not lay claim to the leadership of a "revolution." You do know this, correct? But SANDERS DID.

So....I'm a bit flummoxed as to why you want to compare--disfavorably, it would seem--a retiring Senator, who SHOWED UP FOR WORK at the Senate, and was drafting an amendment to the bill under consideration with her colleague, with a vanquished POTUS candidate who didn't bother to come to work yesterday when there was a debate going down on gun control.

Boxer was at work yesterday. "Just sayin'..."

She won by 4 million votes, and it wasn't because there were only 9 debates pnwmom Jun 2016 #16

I have no doubt the limited number and cynically manipulated scheduling of the debates combined Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #18

Limited number? What a joke. There were plenty of opportunities pnwmom Jun 2016 #21

It wasn't half the number of debates held in 2008 when Hillary "loved" them and she did back out Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #23

What did the Senators pass in regards to this issue and why does it make a difference Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #8

He is a sitting Senator--his place is in the SENATE, not on "Meet The Press." nt MADem Jun 2016 #9

Your visceral hatred for Bernie is noted... tex-wyo-dem Jun 2016 #93

Your powers of discernment are lacking. MADem Jun 2016 #99

Not a single one of your posts on this thread actually addresses the issues brought up in the video Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #117

You continually make it "all about me." Soon, that sort of thing will not be allowed here. MADem Jun 2016 #118

Thanks for reinforcing my point. n/t Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #119

The point that you repeatedly target me? It's obvious to anyone who reads our exchanges. MADem Jun 2016 #120

I'm not targeting you. You targeted this OP with a large number, if not the most posts on this Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #121

No, I discussed an aspect of the issue you raised. You don't get to control the responses to a MADem Jun 2016 #124

You don't have to "cheerlead" for the issues raised in an OP, there is nothing wrong with debating Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #125
