100. I wasn't referring to this election
Wed Jan 18, 2017, 02:09 PM
Jan 2017

I was referring to the greater history, before and after.

I was just saying that there will be a fine line drawn.
So will it be ok to look back and say, "this this and this did work, and this this and this did not work" in showing voters that the Democrats are the best option? Can we do that without mentioning any faults in positioning by certain prominent individuals? Or do we just never mention certain names ever again? i'm just wondering how this is going to work, is all.
