Whut? To save SCOTUS I -must vote for a white, jewish, anti-war, progressive movement starter [View all]

who lives in an upscale white suburb, and who voted against the PATRIOT ACT, against the IRAQ WAR and who voted to allow guns on trains, and perhaps worst, is divorced (twice) and married to ugh!! an academic (an English major LIBRARIAN!!!) ...

No, not Sanders. Feingold. A guy with whom WI has good chance of ousting a republican from the Senate.

I'm told daily on this website that I'm supposed to find Sanders' credential disqualifying for the presidency, and yet nearly a carbon copy of Sanders is supposed to be a savior for Dems and the senate.

Cognitive Dissonance.

If I met Feingold, I would happily genuflect. I hope he has not changed, though. merrily May 2016 #1

Everything I wrote is true, regardless. He the most likely to be elected of the 6 possible HereSince1628 May 2016 #2

Of course, it's true. Hence my willingness to genuflect. merrily May 2016 #3

Difference is, he isn't running against a "Inevitable" Chosen One n2doc May 2016 #4

Very similar credential, one guy is Dem enemy #1 the other is a great white hope to turn the senate HereSince1628 May 2016 #6

Feingold also opposed NAFTA and numerous other free trade agreements DianaForRussFeingold May 2016 #7

Yes, he's absolutely terrible. Having him in the Senate would be a disaster for a New Dem president HereSince1628 May 2016 #8

I remember hearing a quote that was something like DianaForRussFeingold May 2016 #9
