No. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2015 #1

Okay, no problem - I just put you on my ignore list and.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #3

Ignoring them would take away the comedic factor. nt. NCTraveler Nov 2015 #5

Not to mention deprive them of the attention they so desparately seek. 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #84

If you're going to ignore principled progressives... Chan790 Nov 2015 #141

You haven't earned that honor yet, ...... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #149

If Hillary drops out. 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #2

I bet you think that post was cute... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #40

well now it's just funny 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #47

Yes it was cute and funny. Please 840high Nov 2015 #55

Speaking of cute and funny... MissDeeds Nov 2015 #85

I didn't get any either. Maybe 840high Nov 2015 #112

Or maybe the treats are securely attached to the bridle of truedelphi Nov 2015 #153

If it's Jim Webb? CreekDog Nov 2015 #75

Actually, she has been a Democrat since the 60s. Beacool Nov 2015 #179

just saying if she drops out 2pooped2pop Dec 2015 #212

It is a threat and they don't have much more than that. NCTraveler Nov 2015 #4

Most are trolls. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #7

Yep. That much is now clear. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #11

The vast majority I have on ignore. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #16

HA! Same here! I'll often see a "hot" thread with over 50 replies ... NurseJackie Nov 2015 #25

It's becoming so commonplace here! MoonRiver Nov 2015 #29

Misread something in the thread Omaha Steve Nov 2015 #86

No problem. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #94

I am not a troll. jkbRN Nov 2015 #21

It's obvious that not EVERYBODY in the GE will support Hillary. nuff said MoonRiver Nov 2015 #24

Very true statement, and you should respect those opinions. jkbRN Nov 2015 #27

I have a right to respect, or not, whomever I wish. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #28

If she wins 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #48

Makes perfect sense, cause she would have won. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #88

Both sides of what? blue neen Nov 2015 #108

democrats and republicans 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #160

Not necessarly.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #189

Speak for yourself. blue neen Nov 2015 #196

I agree, but all of us here aren't Democrats CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #206

Manny are, thats true. zappaman Nov 2015 #59

I see what you did there. Number23 Nov 2015 #70

LOL ... That made me laugh because every time I type, "manny" ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #96

Mitt Romney's people all said the exact same thing: "The polls are wrong! The polls are wrong!" Number23 Nov 2015 #140

But THIS is different!!! n/t 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #145

You're a punny one kjones Nov 2015 #107

Even Sanders isn't 100% for them but that is apparently irrelevant somehow. randome Nov 2015 #8

I promise to do so... 99Forever Nov 2015 #6

But what if... HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #9

In this country you ae perfectly free to vote against your best interests.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #41

Hypothetical scenario HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #46

We're in a winner take all taught_me_patience Nov 2015 #61

That's a false narrative HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #65

You will only have a point when and if a third party becomes viable.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #113

I understand that. Nader is a perfect example. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #123

It is a vicious circle which third parties will never overcome... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #143

According to DU's TOS we have to vote for Dems no matter what d_legendary1 Nov 2015 #171

Good post that breaks it down brilliantly brush Nov 2015 #127

Or to refuse to vote against their best interest Doctor_J Nov 2015 #54

Kick and REC'D! BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #10

If we lose the White House Freddie Nov 2015 #12

Vote for the populist who will reverse the trend, not for the Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #19

and that is a good argument for why 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #49

That is why we need a strong LIBERAL with coattails so we can keep the WH and take back at least Vincardog Nov 2015 #125

Uh, are you telling people how to vote in a democracy? jkbRN Nov 2015 #13

Thank you for your concern. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #18

Thank you for such an insightful rebuttal! jkbRN Nov 2015 #22

Aww, you haz a sad? MoonRiver Nov 2015 #26

Please, speak English. jkbRN Nov 2015 #45

Yah...THIS IS AMERICA! MineralMan Nov 2015 #62

Re-read my post. I said vote for for whoever the hell you want! CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #30

I get it, but to tell people to suppress their thoughts/feelings jkbRN Nov 2015 #42

Yes, forums are supposed to be an open dialogue. blue neen Nov 2015 #115

I still want a vow that Clinton will not pull a Lieberman if she loses the primary Scootaloo Nov 2015 #14

Yup! Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #20

Bingo! n/t Aerows Nov 2015 #71

And I wouldn't put it past her to pull one. Betty Karlson Nov 2015 #110

We will never know if she would have tried that, will we? CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #184

As you can see from this thread, it is a threat. It's become boring and tiresome lunamagica Nov 2015 #15

Although I support Hillary... chillfactor Nov 2015 #17

rednecks would probably be the last word that would correctly describes 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #51

Give me a candidate worth voting for, and I'll vote for them. jeff47 Nov 2015 #23

Agreed. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #31

If you are bent on self distruction.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #32

Kind of an ironic reply Scootaloo Nov 2015 #33

The irony is lost on him I think. Chan790 Nov 2015 #155

I'm afraid it's not me who's bent on self-destruction. jeff47 Nov 2015 #34

Look go vote for whomever you want... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #38

Actually, in the general election my vote won't count. jeff47 Nov 2015 #50

The popular vote matters to incumbents and in contested elections BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #66

Yeah, that totally worked for Gore. jeff47 Nov 2015 #67

Are you saying he would have been treated exactly the same had he lost the PV? BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #69

Considering he got nothing for winning the popular vote, I fail to see jeff47 Nov 2015 #72

Well, now. Aerows Nov 2015 #83

Haha, yeah...Ask him if he would prefer Bernie winning PV/EV or just EV BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #90

You forgot to list what Gore got for winning the PV. (nt) jeff47 Nov 2015 #135

Credibility and energy, which he squandered BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #138

Yeah, what exactly could he do with that "Credibility" after the SCOTUS ruling? jeff47 Nov 2015 #144

Thanks for answering BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #148

You forgot to explain how "Credibility" would overcome the SCOTUS ruling. (nt) jeff47 Nov 2015 #150

I'll answer when I stop laughing BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #151
