If you had included Our Revolution types or Bernie-supporters in your list aikoaiko Feb 2017 #5

I am stating MY PREFERENCE of style bravenak Feb 2017 #8

My point is you marginalized a group and group members who aikoaiko Feb 2017 #24

No i did not. I said one group is better. bravenak Feb 2017 #25

I hope Indivisible continues to welcome Bernie-supporters and Our Revolution members aikoaiko Feb 2017 #38

In my borough group JustAnotherGen Feb 2017 #58

You just gave a perfect example of how to get shit done. bravenak Feb 2017 #63

Glad to hear it. I know that Bernie supporters are part of the solution. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #67

I'm glad they are there. I know they are there. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #65

We often find evidence of what we want to find LanternWaste Feb 2017 #229

If anything, Berniacs seem to be spoiling for a fight. Capn Sunshine Feb 2017 #98

We shouldn't be labelling ourselves as supporters of this or that mcar Feb 2017 #73

But we are not all Democrats. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #83

We are stronger together mcar Feb 2017 #86

You know I have always supported you. murielm99 Feb 2017 #111

My point exactly mcar Feb 2017 #115

I would argue it is. I'm a 2017 Bernie supporter aikoaiko Feb 2017 #184

"...moderate Republicans" Ligyron Feb 2017 #143

Here we go again NastyRiffraff Feb 2017 #79

Thank you for noticing my consistency. Words matter, though. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #84

I'm pretty sure she doesn't care NastyRiffraff Feb 2017 #93

I did not mention EITHER candidate. On purpose. Because it's not about the candidate. It's us. bravenak Feb 2017 #159

Right. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #183

You'll supply us with objective evidence to support your allegation, yes? LanternWaste Feb 2017 #230

Everyone was included by the OP. You saw groups you Blue_true Feb 2017 #119

I am helping both Community Action Network group and the Invisible group in my county Gothmog Feb 2017 #190

Do you not like the word manifesto? Which manifesto was alluded to? aikoaiko Feb 2017 #193

In Texas, this word is not a good way to win voters Gothmog Feb 2017 #196

Very active, focused on getting new people into the process and training them to run for office. JudyM Feb 2017 #203

These groups work together. milestogo Feb 2017 #7

I see nothing wrong with primarying a Dem with a Dem. Else You Are Mad Feb 2017 #29

At a time when we need more Dems, I think it's a bad idea to give repubs a chance to steal a seat bravenak Feb 2017 #36

Valid point. Else You Are Mad Feb 2017 #43

I can see that, but only primary if the new person can win bravenak Feb 2017 #51

Agreed. Else You Are Mad Feb 2017 #60

Good idea. Experience in local politics is a good indicator of future success. bravenak Feb 2017 #62

only primary someone in a safe Democratic seat... say like Tulsi Gabbard OKNancy Feb 2017 #112

Invalid response bravenak Feb 2017 #130

You said it. Not me. StubbornThings Feb 2017 #131

Why are you asking why? bravenak Feb 2017 #133

Because I'm wondering why you're against democracy? StubbornThings Feb 2017 #135

How is my suggesting peopke join indivisible being against democracy? bravenak Feb 2017 #138

"I saw some of the our revolution types threatening to primary dems. No thanks." StubbornThings Feb 2017 #141

Why am I not allowed to be against primarying my own allies? bravenak Feb 2017 #144

I didn't say you weren't allowed to be against democracy. StubbornThings Feb 2017 #153

I'm against fighitng my allies while the new Hitler is tossing my relatives into boxcars bravenak Feb 2017 #157

One group is run by Jeff Weaver. The other isn't. SaschaHM Feb 2017 #16

Bingo!!!! bravenak Feb 2017 #18

So you only want unity if Bernie or anyone associated with him has nothing to do with it? MelissaB Feb 2017 #23

I'd take bernie over Weaver ANY DAY bravenak Feb 2017 #28

That's a completly different reason than what you said a long time ago MelissaB Feb 2017 #41

I said a long time ago that it was his fans not him that turned me off bravenak Feb 2017 #46

Here's a weaver tweet after Tom won.. Cha Feb 2017 #34

I cannot believe he is still up to that same shit bravenak Feb 2017 #39

Fucking insulting shit.. he drives everyone away who's Cha Feb 2017 #44

Some people never learn mcar Feb 2017 #100

he doesn't want to.. his personaity is to insult Cha Feb 2017 #103

That's amazing to me. bravenak Feb 2017 #56

seriously.. these people who used to tire of my political rants finally are as pissed as I am nini Feb 2017 #199

I love it. Even my republican cousin changed his registration bravenak Feb 2017 #200

Can't they work together? Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #37

Of course they can work together. Indivisible means just that, indivisible. I love it bravenak Feb 2017 #52

If I follow your logic... Talk Is Cheap Feb 2017 #68

Where did I say that or anything like that? bravenak Feb 2017 #72

I will not stand for any attempt to hijack the Democratic Party. nt oasis Feb 2017 #42

Too late, it was hijacked a while back randr Feb 2017 #45

Me neither bravenak Feb 2017 #55

IMHO, it is not about "hijacking" anything... Wounded Bear Feb 2017 #59

I'm willing to have patience with our existing leadership. I trust oasis Feb 2017 #109

I like it too mcar Feb 2017 #69

Me too. I see these groups as more impactful bravenak Feb 2017 #76

Ironic that this OP is actually divisive. KPN Feb 2017 #70

How is it divisive? bravenak Feb 2017 #75

It's pretty clear I think. KPN Feb 2017 #81

I have no clue what you mean bravenak Feb 2017 #82

I think you do ... you are an intelligent person from what I've seen. KPN Feb 2017 #85

It's only divisive if people refuse to drop their grudges and move into the nos bravenak Feb 2017 #92

And move into the "nos"? Not sure what that means. KPN Feb 2017 #101

But what you are doing is fine? bravenak Feb 2017 #127

Really? KPN Feb 2017 #210

Not everything is about him bravenak Feb 2017 #212

No it's not. NurseJackie Feb 2017 #78

Yes! You are absolutely correct. Even their NAME is better. "Indivisible" suggests unity, while ... NurseJackie Feb 2017 #71

The first has a positive connotation, the second a negative connotation. One implies.... George II Feb 2017 #120

One seems to imply a violent struggle. I don't want that. I want unity. bravenak Feb 2017 #136

OK .. ananda Feb 2017 #121

Why am I not allowed to prefer one over another? And to say so? bravenak Feb 2017 #139

Flamebait OPs like this BlueWI Feb 2017 #122

My stating my preference is not flamebait bravenak Feb 2017 #137

Your preference has been stated repeatedly in many forums BlueWI Feb 2017 #148

This is strategy. bravenak Feb 2017 #150

LISTEN TO YOURSELVES oldcynic Feb 2017 #147

This thread is Democracy with very little action. BlueWI Feb 2017 #162

This op is a CALL TO ACTION bravenak Feb 2017 #166

Is that what you joined to say? Seems odd. Squinch Feb 2017 #182

it depends on how you define "far left" in health care debate, some blue dogs were to right of yurbud Feb 2017 #218

That will not win my gun toting neighbors over. bravenak Feb 2017 #222

It's alaska. bravenak Feb 2017 #226

What Democratic policies would appeal to them? Which industry do they work in? yurbud Feb 2017 #233

Legalized weed was one. We did pass a minimum wage hike tied to inflation. bravenak Feb 2017 #234

your neighbor likes ever increasing private insurance premiums? or is he already on Medicare? yurbud Feb 2017 #224

Non union electrician. Paid well, is mad right now because our state is pondering an income tax. bravenak Feb 2017 #225
