That says it all really. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #82

I have no idea who anyone voted for. Try reading with what my post actually did merrily Jun 2016 #83

I don't cut any politician any slack. They have a job and have to be held to a standard. hellofromreddit Jun 2016 #95

Yes, this is where and when it has to start. sadoldgirl Jun 2016 #2

You've got a couple years to hold that grudge and LuvLoogie Jun 2016 #3

Thanks for explaining marions ghost Jun 2016 #96

Okay. I'm not saying our interests have been Hortensis Jun 2016 #102

Sorry but I think you are dreaming marions ghost Jun 2016 #104

Actually ... The wiser strategy is stop trying to pick a fight and pick a DAMNED viable candidate . 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #7

Well socialized? :) Maybe toss in housebroken too, Hortensis Jun 2016 #15

That's not what I mean by "socialized" ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #19

Right. I know what you meant, and who. Hortensis Jun 2016 #23

??? 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #25

No ... ot at all ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #77

He does have a reputation of playing well with others Marrah_G Jun 2016 #94

Your comment made me bust out laughing Txbluedog Jun 2016 #21

O doubt that the DNC will toy with this, particular. 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #26

Oh, yes. He loves the spotlight. Hortensis Jun 2016 #69

Do you think that was Bernie's problem? Not a well socialized person with a socialized message? aikoaiko Jun 2016 #22

The we socialized part was a part .... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #32

Yes, I can see that. Socialization is an interesting way to frame it. aikoaiko Jun 2016 #40

It's not an "interesting way to frame it" ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #43

Well I'm not in those industries. aikoaiko Jun 2016 #46

That is probably true. 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #47

Your post is the campaign meme story of Sanders, not the reality. merrily Jun 2016 #56

I realize we are/were in primary season; but, ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #78

Let's see. You said false things about the man that no one said before he seemed a primary threat.. merrily Jun 2016 #79

Okay ... keep calling for "primarying" those SD that didn't/don't support ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #80

the viable candidate in this race is Bernie. grasswire Jun 2016 #27

Yes ... Obviously ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #33

but she's not able to beat Trump. nt grasswire Jun 2016 #36

Yeah ... Okay. Sadly, you seemed convinced of that ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #39

Speaking of which, 10 Berniecrats were running yesterday...how'd they do? brooklynite Jun 2016 #57

Has anyone responded? 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #98

Fuck Yeah!! one_voice Jun 2016 #88

You know that is fucking bullshit snooper2 Jun 2016 #91

Get to it! What's your strategy? Brickbat Jun 2016 #14

Perhaps folks would be better off focusing their time and energy on local politics. Garrett78 Jun 2016 #17

I love the hypocrisy of "vote against the wishes of the people of their state" Tarc Jun 2016 #20

What are YOU going to do? wyldwolf Jun 2016 #30

I'm already doing it. rateyes Jun 2016 #35

So you want to Primaru Alan Grayson? Good to me brooklynite Jun 2016 #31

Yep. He is an embarrassment. rateyes Jun 2016 #34

Yes. He's terrible (nt) bigwillq Jun 2016 #42

Sen. Harry Reid (D) would likely agree. merrily Jun 2016 #60

Lol. I'm planning on voting for him for Senate. glowing Jun 2016 #63

I see; the idea is to "tell it like it is"; not to get things done? brooklynite Jun 2016 #64

When republicans are in charge, yeah, you need some force glowing Jun 2016 #71

I'd primary the superdelegate who is trying to overturn the wishes of the Democratic electorate. forjusticethunders Jun 2016 #45

What would be the point? It wouldn't change the presidential primary result muriel_volestrangler Jun 2016 #49

Even that is pretty pointless, most Presidents choose their own DNC chair. I'm sure Hillary stevenleser Jun 2016 #50

This! Hortensis Jun 2016 #74

Let's do this! TrueDemVA Jun 2016 #51

Not yet. It's time to support the down ticket and state candidates who have endorsed Bernie. merrily Jun 2016 #52
