Anyone who doesn't vote Democrat is very possibly complicit in the destruction of America. I don't care what you're lame excuse is.

Voting against Trump does not equate with voting Democrat. Their treatment of Elizabeth Warren goes to show that if and when the Dems regain power they will still be controlled by their corporate brothers and sisters and remain out of touch with what should be their base.

When did this place turn into Democratic Underground?

Where the hell does this woman get her information? The internet was full of people decrying Warren's brush off by the media. That is the media's fault for ignoring Warren AND the efforts to make them stop that. It's amazing that she has not one thing to say about the violent and insulting attacks on Warren by Bernie Bros. But, you know, the Democrats are the bad ones.

From the linked article:

“Though NAFTA was created by George H.W. Bush, Clinton signed it into law. He promised NAFTA would bring jobs to the U.S. We now know it did the opposite. He promised greater economic prosperity on both sides of the border, but forgot to mention who would prosper and whose economic conditions would decay. In Mexico, as in the U.S., the rich got richer and the poor stayed poor. No, it’s worse than that. The rich got richer and those who had sustainable lives lost their ability to support themselves and their next generations, both in Mexico and the U.S.

After NAFTA, I became an independent voter.”

I have seen the growth in northern Mexico, especially in the Monterrey area, due to NAFTA. It is quite remarkable, the change over the last four decades, from a stereotypical sleepy area to a fast developing robust economic engine. And, yes, I have also seen the decimation of union jobs in the rust-belt, jobs that would eventually have gone to China rather than Mexico.

I will happily vote Democratic and would do so even without Pres. Trump. The Republicans are set on destroying America.

It's the media's fault that Democratic voters supported Biden over Warren?

How is it the party's fault? How do you not know the followers of Bernie Sanders' campaign savaged her endlessly so much that she called Bernie out on it. Warren's followers hate Sanders' followers for that very reason.

I thought the gist was why women candidates don't resonate with Democratic voters, not if Bernie is Satan incarnate. Bernie took down Amy and Tulsi as well? Maybe it was more a political muscle memory of what happened last time than anything else.

She's preferable to the bank owned guy you seem smitten with and by a lopsided margin.

His previous boss governed cautiously but then he was presented with volatile economic realities that none of his predecessors ever had to face, he had to draw his own roadmap. Hopefully if elected your current sweetie will see this as an opportunity to go out with all sails flying and allow people like Senator Warren to install policy where he has none - that incidentally is just about everywhere.

You didn't leave the Democrats.

The Democrats left you.

Think about it. As you get older you become more set and comfortable with your beliefs.

We didn't change. The world changed. Just trying to save our piece of it. Letting pervs know Daddy is watching too!

The is SO not true!

You have a liberal view of Americans being anyone with citizenship in the U.S.A.

Republicans know that America is for Real Americans. They are trying to save them from your fake Americans...
