What Policies Must Democrats Embrace to Persuade Progressive Voters for the GE? [View all] srobert Jun 2016 OP

i think her policy platform is plenty progressive. i think there are some who won't for her La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #1

Well, except for the TPP, Israeli settlements & apartheid, public college tuition, and $15/hour Android3.14 Jun 2016 #5

she came out against the particulars of the TPP, $12 is as high as most of the democratic party La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #8

But not as high as most of America Ash_F Jun 2016 #11

then most of America should help elect house representatives who are not tea baggers. nt La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #13

You just said Democratic party Ash_F Jun 2016 #15

i said that $15 will not get passed in congress. Last I heard Congress was Republican controlled La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #18

Irrelevant to your incorrect comment that most Democrats only support $12 Ash_F Jun 2016 #23

if there a referendum $15 will win, if it needs to be voted on by congress, it won't La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #24

Nonsense. You didn't do your homework Ash_F Jun 2016 #25

LOL. i don't watch news on TV because I don't get cable. La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #26

Then you really have no excuse. Ash_F Jun 2016 #28

at this point i literally don't know what you are talking about. La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #30

You have not been honest Ash_F Jun 2016 #33

i was being honest, they just voted on for the party platform La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #35

Democrats and "Democrats in congress" are two different things Ash_F Jun 2016 #37

as i said, enjoy your condescension, hope you attract a lot of people to your causes La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #39

There is no point in continuing a conversation with someone who has been fundamentally dishonest. Ash_F Jun 2016 #41

I think you're misreading the data you cite. lapucelle Jun 2016 #44

You're misreading the data. lapucelle Jun 2016 #45

She has not lobbied against the TPP brentspeak Jun 2016 #27

i'm glad she has not, we have a sitting democratic president who supports it La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #31

So we can agree brentspeak Jun 2016 #32

i am against a lot of things, that i would not go to war about. La Lioness Priyanka Jun 2016 #36
