Progressive candidates must get past Democratic party first

I unfortunately cannot say I am surprised. I am shocked these practices have been corroborated at all, but not surprised at falsifying what many people had suspected about the Democratic party for the better part of two years

The Democratic and Republican party are beholden to their donors, but unique to the Democrats, overall, is the inability tackle subjects with no corporate interests involved, be it abortion rights, immigration, net neutrality, or marijuana legalization. And it's further perplexing how the Democrats wonder about their losses, not cognizant of the fact that when Republican-lite and Republican options are presented, people will pick Republican

At any rate, I'm not surprised. Shocked, but not surprised

The Democrats are basically this

That's what happens when you think that the election is 100% in your pocket. No backup plan.
The only reason democrats are still around is basically minorities & illegals cards.

you guys still at the conspiracy crap?

I would like to see that email/order form the Illuminati telling the rest us how to vote because i never got mine.

Politics is a personal business, it is built on personal connection (who you know really counts). Not form Penn but my guess is that the difference Moderate Hartmann and Progressive King is probably less then 10%. And because of that and Hartmann being a more familiar she got the endorsement that King felt belong to her, because she is a progressive.

so stop whining and start knocking on doors and kissing babies. If you think the new Progressive is better the party moderate. then do get the vote out for the progressive and show the party you guys are serious.

To be fair, they had no backup plan because they hoped half of the country wasn't completely insane. I still don't blame them. I blame shameless Republican media that spins lies as if they were truths. I'm not saying Liberal media is blameless, no, no, no. But Trump is a very corrupt man, and fox news doesn't gaf. Trump *is* the swamp. Open your eyes. There are lots of fine Republicans like McCain. Trump is NOT one of them.

Yeah, yeah shameless republicans. Occupied the whole media with pro-trump propaganda, how could them

Also rhetoric about "they are insane, while we are not" won't lead anywhere

[Dauerlutscher]

Well, no one in his right mind would support someon like Trump. So "they are insane" fits perfectly.

And McCain is not a fine Republican. He is a typical Republican before they got all lunatic.

And again that "us vs them", "they are wrong, we are right" and so on But whatever

[Eisdrache]

I like how you didn't disagree with the lying part.

@ChuckE
I don't know what you are finding so funny while your Orange Turd is embarrassing you every day and the rest of the world is laughing at you guys.
Maybe, just maybe, there is something wrong with you guys. It can be the blatant rassism, sexsism, egoism, ignoring science and logic or just the lack of basic human decency. Deceny, I'm sure you heard of it. You know, treating other people with respect, not lying, not being a hypocrite etc...Things like that.
Maybe there is a reason why any sane human being on this planet has a problem with you guys.
After everything the reps have done, this is an essentinal question every one of you should ask yourself.

How ironic. The Democrats didn't have backup plan in case they lost and Trump didn't have a back up plan in case he won. XP

Oh and btw, don't try and play the victim card dude. Your disgusting display of racism in the other thread has already left you completely lacking in credibility. Why you weren't banned after that, I have no idea but rest assured that no one here takes you seriously at all.

[relentlessflame]

So, I closed this thread. I also banished some people from the News & Politics subforum because they are unable to have civil, constructive discourse. I will banish more people from this subforum if they continue to act this way.
