Mahalo, La Lioness Cha Dec 2016 #1

So what criticisms can one level about how HRC handled economic justice? el_bryanto Dec 2016 #2

I'd say ones that do not perpetuate the lie that it cost her the election. bettyellen Dec 2016 #3

Hmmmm so we aren't allowed to critisize how she handled the campaign el_bryanto Dec 2016 #4

Better a half loaf than nothing at all leftofcool Dec 2016 #10

Yeah that'd be great - if your candidate had won. But I don't think she did. nt el_bryanto Dec 2016 #12

"Your candidate?" mcar Dec 2016 #34

That means she was your candidate too. So you should have said "Our candidate", right? nt stevenleser Dec 2016 #68

Bernie is not a Democrat, nor are many of his supporters. This is not the place to trash Democrats. Lil Missy Dec 2016 #33

No its not. Especially given the rules GummyBearz Dec 2016 #56

He was "registered" as a Democrat for a couple minutes. Before and after he was Independent, Lil Missy Dec 2016 #58
