These people are traitors to the Democratic Party. I say make as many snide remarks as you want. We have to obstruct these Republicans; they're destroying the country. Gorsuch,(who by the way, formed his "fascism forever" club in his younger years, let's not forget) will be worse than Scalia.

People from both parties have done stupid things, and it would be strange if Russia has not ensnared at least a few Democrats. Corporations make sure that they have friends on both sides of the aisle, why would the Russians be any different?

why would we want them? Screw the "Republicans will win his seat" crap, we will have a lot of motivated voters the next couple of cycles. If they don't stand up when it really counts, what good are they?

Seriously, we can do better, especially the next couple of cycles, but not if we play strictly numbers accepting someone much closer to Republican than he is a Democrat. It is a false "majority if it is made up of Joe Manchuns'.

They will hinder any progress. Best to expose them now and make them publicly choose their loyalties. Maybe the democratic voters will think twice next time. If they don't, they'll just continue to vote for vile people anyway.

Manchin was interviewed about Gorsuch the other day and he sounded more like a Republican than most Republicans.

It wasn't the Democratic Party that took 'Citizens United' to SCOTUS and ultimately got it passed.

So quit repeating this lie. Yeah, it takes money in this ridiculous world of politics and yes there are some scoundrels in the Dem Party, but nothing compares to the GOP.

Look, the Dem Party is obviously the best party for working people, but its flawed. Dems take big money and do the bidding of wall st plenty. The TPP was not for working folks. Neither was NAFTA. If we overturned Citizens United, ended corporate personhood, or moved to public funding of elections we would not need big money.
