Have you called it? As recently as two weeks ago a call to the Jackson Heights office.... George II Jun 2019 #90
Ah thanks. BannonsLiver Jun 2019 #113
It is a BS attack because it is 2019 and nearly everyone has a cell phone with long distance. Ace Rothstein Jun 2019 #118
Yes it does matter in a relatively poor, elderly district with a large percentage of immigrants.... George II Jun 2019 #120

Your argument is that using the word "sashay" is inherently homophobic? jcgoldie Jun 2019 #99
What would be the reaction, from her and her people, if Delaney told HER to "sashay away"? George II Jun 2019 #19
She'd say Bettie Jun 2019 #37
You haven't been following her on twitter. George II Jun 2019 #38

Yeah. This is ridiculous. I don't know how people are turning this in to a homophobic issue. Hassin Bin Sober Jun 2019 #25
I pray you are never walking down the street with a friend, or even alone, DonViejo Jun 2019 #44
That's a bit of a stretch. Hassin Bin Sober Jun 2019 #53

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and homophobic tropes are not a good look .... stonecutter357 Jun 2019 #11

Perhaps, but there are two sides to that, watching because of her is not necessarily positive thing. George II Jun 2019 #23

Sanders supporters have now gone after Warren in a big way on twitter: George II Jun 2019 #45

So much better than her "too cool for school" crap RelativelyJones Jun 2019 #49
Great Response from John Delaney! Cha Jun 2019 #71
Delaney's response to her was mature and intelligent, which her tweet definitely wasn't. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #86

So better policy and politivs is to keep the current, massively dysfunctional system? guillaumeb Jun 2019 #82
No, but "Medicare for all" polls at about 30% positive Recursion Jun 2019 #116

Not really. If you have good private insurance the American system is really good Recursion Jun 2019 #121
I disagree. guillaumeb Jun 2019 #122
