(Gabbard trashes Democrats constantly)
Pseudoprogressives: "She's right, you know. How dare you attempt to deny her freedom of speech!"

(Hillary criticizes the guy with the (I) after his name)
Pseudoprogressives: "How?? How can you just stand there and let her get away with this??"

Me, I'm just waiting for the "vote blue no matter who" mantra to be replaced with "Ratfucking! Ratfucking! Everyone stay home on election day because _______ isn't pure enough and Both Sides Bad!!" after the primary.

...You remember, just like last time. Hell, some people aren't even waiting.

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

Sanders: "I don't consider myself a Democrat" From 2017.. Cha Feb 2020 #14

Why did he register as an Independent for his next Senate race AFTER he registered as a Democrat pnwmom Feb 2020 #23

because Vermont has different rules. Pretty simple. It works for that state floppyboo Feb 2020 #25

Dean is a Democrat, a strong voice for the Democratic Party. I don't buy it. Bananaluver Feb 2020 #37

Vermont has NO RULE that required him to register as an Independent. That was his CHOICE pnwmom Feb 2020 #38

did you ever consider that he wanted to win a traditionally red state buy running as I ? floppyboo Feb 2020 #44

His popularity is very high in VT as you know. He should have stayed a Democrat pnwmom Feb 2020 #58

VT has been a solidly blue state for longer than BS has been in Congress, lapucelle Feb 2020 #121

Traditionally, it was a liberal Yankee Republican state. In 2007, Peter Welch became only the Midwestern Democrat Feb 2020 #138

Hasn't VT voted blue in every presidential election in the last 30 years? lapucelle Feb 2020 #141

Not true. From '64 to '92 VT was republican. JudyM Feb 2020 #181

You're right...Bill Clinton flipped the formerly red Vermont blue! lapucelle Feb 2020 #183

When Sanders ran for Mayor the local Dems were in bed with big donors in VT and nothing was JudyM Feb 2020 #184

B.S. Independent for his next Senate race AFTER he registered as a Democrat trueblue2007 Feb 2020 #73

Oh and that's why he already filed paper work to run in 24 as an independent?! Thekaspervote Feb 2020 #67

That's Vermont. Lots of info out there about registering in Vermont. floppyboo Feb 2020 #68

Patrick Leahy, the senior senator from Vermont has always been a Democrat NCProgressive Feb 2020 #72

Bullshit excuse. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #105

Aha, you all want Bernie running as an Independent in the GE, I_M_Blue_2 Feb 2020 #188

BS is not a Democrat. we can do it Feb 2020 #122

Since when?! yardwork Feb 2020 #131

A Democrat out of convenience - but only in presidential runs. wyldwolf Feb 2020 #147

Then his DC office staff hasn't been told. ehrnst Feb 2020 #174

Your claim is false Gothmog Feb 2020 #190

IF he's a Dem, why did he just set up his Senate re-election campaign as an Independent? Zolorp Feb 2020 #210

To keep people from making the same mistakes in 2020 that they did in 2016. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #4

We have different ideas of the mistakes made in 2016. It isn't 2016. floppyboo Feb 2020 #18

HRC will do her utmost to ensure that toxic factions are neutralized & that a Democrat wins. lapucelle Feb 2020 #123

Is that what she is doing? Seems the opposite to me. aikoaiko Feb 2020 #126

It is absolutely what she's doing. She's calling out crap like this. lapucelle Feb 2020 #127

Bringing dissenters into the fold will do us more good aikoaiko Feb 2020 #129

Into what "fold"? Who hires people like this as senior staff? lapucelle Feb 2020 #132

People not living in the past. aikoaiko Feb 2020 #133

Wait...what? lapucelle Feb 2020 #136

Seems like a different topic than the one we are discussing aikoaiko Feb 2020 #137

You said "the fold is people not living in the past". Are you sure you have the right "fold"? lapucelle Feb 2020 #143

So to recap: A politician running as a Democrat hired people who worked against Democrats lapucelle Feb 2020 #145

HRC is well aware that members of a toxic faction helped put Trump in office. lapucelle Feb 2020 #135

She won the popular vote by 3 million. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #203

It could have been 30 million, but she needed to win the EC aikoaiko Feb 2020 #205

Obviously. But the point is that she was not so unpopular with voters The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #206

And she's calling out crap like this. lapucelle Feb 2020 #128

And she's calling out crap like this. lapucelle Feb 2020 #130

No one takes sanders seriously because all of his programs depend on a magical voter revolutioni Gothmog Feb 2020 #194

Exactly. And, why are these BS surrogates ATTACKING DEMS? Cha Feb 2020 #22

"HRC is attacking Democrats"...No, she's putting ONE campaign on notice. lapucelle Feb 2020 #139

why do some candidates spend 50 years doubling down on attacking the dems party? nt msongs Feb 2020 #5

Because 65 years ago they wouldn't have to? nt floppyboo Feb 2020 #6

As long as there are people trashing democrats you should expect democrats to fight back. showblue22 Feb 2020 #10

Thank you! 🙏🏼 DemocracyMouse Feb 2020 #13

I expect trashing of Dems from the GOP would be met with mighty frontal attacks floppyboo Feb 2020 #21

No it isn't!! And here's sanders when asked about booing HRC.. could have done the right thing Thekaspervote Feb 2020 #99

Sanders did not respond mcar Feb 2020 #157

Because she feels like it. showblue22 Feb 2020 #7

Why is Hillary trashing Democrats? floppyboo Feb 2020 #9

He said that last time too and it was not quite true. showblue22 Feb 2020 #11

What I am saying is 100% true. showblue22 Feb 2020 #19

I'm not sure it would have been worse. showblue22 Feb 2020 #32

But that's really bad! Like way way worse! You can't believe that. floppyboo Feb 2020 #79

HRC is not trashing Democrats. She's calling out crap like this. lapucelle Feb 2020 #125

Good question!! And where's the loyalty to Bernie?! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #134

Maybe because people pretending to be Democrats have been trashing her The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #204
