and Democrats control the Senate, so your assertion is not quite backed up by reality.

I see you have swallowed the propaganda hook, line, sinker, rod and reel. I have no interest in hearing you repeat talking points I've been hearing for years.

How is that relevant? BzaDem May 2016 #113

I disagree that if Hillary loses, the country as we know it will cease to exist Maedhros May 2016 #114

Sanders is the avowed enemy of the Democratic Party. You're surprised that the DNC doesn't like him? randome May 2016 #38

That's absurd. hellofromreddit May 2016 #45

It's also why he has fewer Congressional endorsements than Ted Cruz. randome May 2016 #48

A resounding lack of endorsements from a despised congress doesn't make him an enemy. hellofromreddit May 2016 #49

I get it. You and Sanders despise everyone else. I'm fine with that. randome May 2016 #57

You've reduced yourself to lying. Not gonna play the straw man game with you. hellofromreddit May 2016 #59

He's called the party ideologically bankrupt mythology May 2016 #69

"Not exactly words of a friend." Also not the words of an avowed enemy. hellofromreddit May 2016 #71

If that were true he'd be running as a Third Party spoiler Armstead May 2016 #51

He's spent decades telling the DNC how corrupt they are. randome May 2016 #58

Seems to have done pretty well for a guy who started with almost no profile Armstead May 2016 #60

He HAS done well. He brings light to important issues. randome May 2016 #65

Oh, that made me realize how bad she is on the SSI issue. Fawke Em May 2016 #97

The whole post is full of factual inaccuracies. YouDig May 2016 #63

Perhaps you require an example. A'ight. hellofromreddit May 2016 #67

Your OP said "none of what they said they'd do with it". Clearly incorrect. YouDig May 2016 #68

The literalism game might win you points in a debate class, but I don't care. hellofromreddit May 2016 #72

Calling my post "trash" since you can't muster a response won't even win you points in debate class. YouDig May 2016 #75

You claim Obama care was a great victory? BigMin28 May 2016 #105
