2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: There was no justification for any hardline tactics in support of HRC at the NV Dem convention. [View all]sandyshoes17
(657 posts)79. I can't believe these are fellow democrats
The posts I read here just push me further away. I'm a life long dem and never in my life would I believe that the party would go so far right that I wouldn't recognize it any more. I feel like I'm reading posts from republicans. It's really gotten bad. They very rarely use words like liberal and progressive.
