the 'privilege' to do so, want to believe the entire shit storm it causes as in when the Greens elected Bush is not their fault and look at me I am helping down ballot... but the truth is, they own every piece of crap. You won't elect down-ballot candidates without electing Sec.Clinton. And I have visited the other site...they have no interest in electing Democrats mostly and would merely cause trouble here...and since we support the nominee, they don't belong here. I have no intention of being nice to these folks and will call them alls sorts of bad names. They deserve it for trying to elect Trump...no down ballot race could make up for that. I will ridicule them and marginalize them every chance I get so they don't gain an ounce of credibility that they can use to help elect Trump.
