All white Americans are privileged and males even more so. Jackie Wilson Said Mar 2016 #20

Hillary has called abortions a “sad, even tragic choice,” , but keeps evolving, of course! - djean111 Mar 2016 #2

Then, of course, why is she saying anything at all? pandering? djean111 Apr 2016 #62

So on the one hand leftynyc Apr 2016 #63

No - the definition is that leftynyc Apr 2016 #71

At my caucus in WA, I noticed many couples had a similar passionate but amicable suffragette Mar 2016 #8

glad to hear that but it isd unsurprising...I think my husband has an excellent reason CTyankee Mar 2016 #14
