Feb 2016

We keep running into people like you that tell us to shut up and vote against our efforts. Fun and exciting times like the county party removing a "seat" on their board when it looked like the wrong kind of Democrat might win.

Putting all of your hopes and emotions into Bernie Sanders is plain dumb

Dumb is thinking we are doing that.

Every single other Democrat ordered us to support Clinton. jeff47 Feb 2016 #74

What an odd thing to say. MADem Feb 2016 #75

The herd you speak of got us into our current disastrous situation. jeff47 Feb 2016 #94
