shameful. stonecutter357 Feb 2016 #1

Her constituents telling her that they're disappointed in her is shameful? Cobalt Violet Feb 2016 #7

some people get to vote for her or not and A LOT of them support Bernie. Cobalt Violet Feb 2016 #20

I pay her salary and she has to take my concerns into account as well. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #22

Except that's not really how it works. Lizzie Poppet Feb 2016 #136

Sure, but she's not at your beck-and-call. Orrex Feb 2016 #160

Apparently "some people" think that they can bully her into making an endorsement. MADem Feb 2016 #178

Saying "I think you should do this" is bullying? Warren DeMontague Feb 2016 #216

Go to the link. Some of the comments there are downright ugly. Quick sampler: MADem Feb 2016 #218

Okay, so some people are abrasive, and some people are weird Jesus freaks. Warren DeMontague Feb 2016 #228

Maybe, just maybe, she doesn't care who wins? MADem Feb 2016 #212

And you are free to tell her to pound sand and block her emails. MADem Feb 2016 #179

only the ones from MASS are her constituents treestar Feb 2016 #93

+1,000! We put her in that seat, and we can take her out, too. That's why she's not endorsing-- MADem Feb 2016 #183

Who indeed. Yet I can't help but think you took rather a different position when it was PP. Kentonio Feb 2016 #187

PP? Not clear on your meaning. Planned Parenthood? What? nt MADem Feb 2016 #198

Yes, when Planned Parenthood made their entirely unnecessary endorsement and split their support Kentonio Feb 2016 #209
