32. Well...maybe you should listen to the establishment dems that totally went all in on Lieberman

Dec 2016

when he was being primaried by a far more progressive candidate. That was my first real Barbara Boxer disappointment, and sadly, it wasn't a big shock to me when she did a number on Sanders in the primaries. When you're on the inside you protect your own, that's for damn sure.

But why would you only listen to people with D's on their jerseys? Sense is sense and your reasons for disregarding a position, if you are to be judged just by your words here, are shallow. Would you listen to Wisdom if it were Twain's, or Lincoln's or Chekov's or Jesus's or Jefferson's or Paine's? I don't think any of them were in the right uniform for their words to carry any value into today.

Yes, the question is clearly rhetorical.
