19. I was at the farmer's market today and I saw something odd

I live in deep deep blue Newton and at the entrance I saw as many Brown Sign holders as I did Warren holders. Now I have made my dislike of her pretty clear, an email box full of jury decisions would show that. I thought it was odd that a place he should have no shot is showing him any kind of support.

29. Why do you dislike Elizabeth Warren?

32. Back when...

the race first started to take shape, the Mayor of my town, a really good guy I have known since high school, Setti Warren jumped in, as did several others. When the state party started throwing Warren's name around, she made it clear that she would not compete in any kind of primary, essentially cutting of both cash and support of all the other people running. I don't like that, if he lost fair and square I would have been able to suport her, but now I just can't. I know it makes me look bitter, but I'll own it.

34. If you are going to be on DU, you are required to support the Dem candidate via the rules. Also,

would you rather have Brown? There is a much bigger picture and much more at stake than anyone's bruised feelings. I would urge you to move on and support this excellent Dem candidate.



Yeah...just an innocent discussion board. :whatever:

That sounds a lot like how Obama beat his DemonRat opponents in primaries.  But he also used smear tactics against them.  Then he did similar things to his GOP opponents.

I foresee some retraining in that DUmmies future.  Either that or a very heavy tombstone.  There will be NO freethinking.

I wouldn't worry about it - they misuse other terms such as 'De Facto' and 'Mia Culpa' frequently.

(They seem to define 'De Facto' as implying a secret or hidden truth. - And 'Mia Culpa' is an admission of guilt, once the guilty party is found out, not an admission of a simple error)

democrats are all about diversity as long as everyone thinks the same.

Yeah, you're required to support the Party candidate, not anything stupid and outmoded like 'Democracy,' 'The Constitution,' or any dumb old crap like that.
