I think comparing us to Trump supporters is bullshit JonLP24 Jan 2020 #6

Bardella is talking about a specific type of toxic twitter bully, not Sanders supporters lapucelle Jan 2020 #11

I have very few deleted posts in my entire 8 years JonLP24 Jan 2020 #16

The column is about a twitter mob fueled by their own toxic culture, not Sanders supporters. N/T lapucelle Jan 2020 #31

Why does this remind me of Hillary saying some Trump supporters were deplorable sweetloukillbot Jan 2020 #89

Did you vote for Hillary? lark Jan 2020 #12

Yes I voted for Hillary Clinton JonLP24 Jan 2020 #14

When they don't support Democrats and helped drumpf win - what should they be called? lark Jan 2020 #22

I have a problem with Clinton staffers like Neera Tanden JonLP24 Jan 2020 #26

If someone won't vote for Democrats, they are not our friend in the end and are part of the enemy. lark Jan 2020 #33

Neera Tanden isn't a "Clinton staffer". She has no role at Onward Together lapucelle Jan 2020 #44

The fact that you bring up Neera Tanden is interesting. First.... George II Jan 2020 #108

I bring her up because she often criticizes the Sanders wing JonLP24 Jan 2020 #109

Too BAD.. I love Neera Tanden! Cha Jan 2020 #135

Wait. Some clarification please. Who specifically didn't vote for Clinton KPN Jan 2020 #39

Of course I don't know who voted for whom, except for their telling us. lark Jan 2020 #42

So you made a totally unsubstantiated statement of "fact". KPN Jan 2020 #64

It's been supported in many polls. lark Jan 2020 #66
