5. Really stupid move on PP's part.

They are a health services organization first and foremost.

By endorsing in the primary when they never had so before, they entered the political ring.

By entering the political ring, they are now mixing it up in DC and pitting Democrat against Democrat. At the same time, the GOP is now emboldened to attack them harder. Not because Sanders intimated but never said they were acting in a status quo fashion, but because it is obvious that PP is a wing of the Democratic Party. It should be non-partisan even if it endorses AFTER the fucking primary.

Poor women are Democrats AND Republicans. Women who want an abortion are both Democrats AND Republicans.

Consequences people, consequences.

Stupid, stupid, stupid!
