I noticed this as well. Are we being prepped for a "Vote Crowley" in the general election? jalan48 Jul 2018 #218
Absolutely melman Jul 2018 #219
She doesn't make me "uncomfortable" in the least. I actually like her quite a bit EffieBlack Jul 2018 #220

Not "framing." Fact EffieBlack Jul 2018 #281

But talking about the primaries is "divisive." EffieBlack Jul 2018 #306
No, but falsely smearing Ocasio-Cortez as racist and sexist, as you did in the OP, is divisive. redgreenandblue Jul 2018 #389
