Why are you going after Bernie here? StubbornThings Apr 2017 #12

It's not Bernie, it's the OP. Falling for this divisive shit again. bettyellen Apr 2017 #15

You said, "Get it Bernie?" StubbornThings Apr 2017 #21

I didn't- and this misquoting thing has gotten out of hand. bettyellen Apr 2017 #29

Yes. LakeArenal Apr 2017 #66

Some "takeover". Given a position where he will refrain from badmouthing us. randome Apr 2017 #8

He is a resource and it appears we are going to use him wisely. NCTraveler Apr 2017 #10

I feel like him turning over the email list would only hurt retrowire Apr 2017 #22

It would tremendously help. NCTraveler Apr 2017 #26

Ok retrowire Apr 2017 #32

Along with the email list she turned over her analytics and voter modeling tools. NCTraveler Apr 2017 #34

Ah ok retrowire Apr 2017 #36

Always is.... NCTraveler Apr 2017 #41

The full story is much more nuanced Tom Rinaldo Apr 2017 #11

The animosity toward Bernie on display here is disconcerting. Voltaire2 Apr 2017 #13

You can speak for yourself, but not for "Democratic women" LakeArenal Apr 2017 #44

The Dem party does not consider reproductive rights as "negotiable" and that's part of why I support bettyellen Apr 2017 #49

I DO speak for Democratic women. Suggest you read the Democratic party platform. musette_sf Apr 2017 #62

No different than Hillary Clinton saying she'd compromise on abortion rights, IMO NickB79 Apr 2017 #77

Planned Parenthood has made inroads with the Establishment of the Democratic party. They JCanete Apr 2017 #81
