It is a big country. We should be a big party. Diversity should be our strength.

Recently some quoted LBJ's idea that it is better to have people inside the tent pissing out, than being on the outside pissing in.

What LBJ didn't anticipate is that we might have someone on the inside pissing in.

ONE PERSON has done enough damage to our party for a lifetime.

Enough!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

How is Bernie, one out of sixteen candidates, preventing us from stopping Trump? Autumn Mar 2019 #10

At the moment, he's not. cab67 Mar 2019 #48

Actually Trump won the electoral vote with Russia's help in 3 states. nt Autumn Mar 2019 #66

Exactly. Sanders has a right to his beliefs, but radius777 Mar 2019 #76

Do you really consider Sanders, who votes with Democrats 95% to 99 % of the time Autumn Mar 2019 #21

That's simply not true. This was posted last night: George II Mar 2019 #27

So Sanders votes with the Democratic party close to 68% of the time in your link. Autumn Mar 2019 #54

And the 32% was probably stuff that was better to vote against rwsanders Mar 2019 #63

BS votes with Democrats 81.4% of the time. lapucelle Mar 2019 #77

Yes I responded above to that Pro Publica link about Bernie above. I didn't read the OP you Autumn Mar 2019 #79
