(561 posts)Why are you all upset with me? Geeze I only just shared the information which I found. Don't scream at me because you disagree with what someone else posted which I had no say in.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)While someone else created it, you did indeed post it on DU.
Innocent oversight I am sure.
SkyDancer
(561 posts)I believe this falls under "shooting the messenger".

(11,949 posts)You get what you get.
You feigning innocence is charming however.

(90,189 posts)Are these people running as Democrats? Then identify them as such. IF they win in November, they will add to our Democratic caucus, and IF we take back the House, Democrats will be able to elect a Speaker from among Democrats and appoint Democrats as chairs of committees. IF.
On the other hand, if they are running as something other than Democrats (like Independent) they do us no damn good in that department.
This year there is no room for divisive bullshit and purity tests. The republic is at stake.

(11,949 posts)Whatever the hell that actually means, who won last night.
