i like tammy. she fought for her country, lost a limb, and is still fighting for her country.
her list of sponsored bills seems pretty responsible to me, and i don't see anything too embarrassing in her voting record.

i know nothing about cortez except that she beat an old established republican to get her position. that's not a small feat in itself,
it shows she has intelligence and some native ability. i'm not keen on inexperience right now, there's more than enough of that in washington at the moment.

so i would support duckworth, but without any ill will to cortez, just think she needs more experience to be effective.

Fortunately they aren't competing with one another.

Cortez' positions are unapologetically Progressive but that seems to be the way the rest of the party is shifting.

I've been saying for years that the Democratic Party strategy of moving rightwards to pick up Republican votes was somewhere between a fool's errand and a deliberate smokescreen to please their donor base, and they've paid for it in terms of lost seats.

There's nowhere left to go but, well, Left. Their big money donors are likely to have it but if the Democrats want to actually be relevant going forward they'll have to do what it takes to get votes. Being Progressive is what's getting votes.

I'm impressed things are moving as quickly as they are, these things take time.

Still bashing, I see. Even in a thread where I was careful to choose a Democrat that gets the ballwasher seal of approval.

Can't think of anything positive to say about anyone, can you Stinkydigit?

You are in no position to call others "bashers". Your MO is to ignore pointed questions and insult those who best you in arguments - which happens a lot.

You are a symptom.

Actually, she beat an old established Democrat in a district that had changed during the time Crowley was in office and he didn't change with it. The district is safe for Democrats in 2018 and so it's a good place to give on the job training to a young and inexperienced Democratic Rep.

I too admit that I don't know anything about her Cortez. Except that she is inexperienced but she hasn't screwed up yet, so there is that. I give the Progressives(TM) another week or so before they start calling us shills because we don't want an inexperienced unknown newbie for Prez.

I would support Duckworth too.

I'm not your puppet and you have a master's degree, from which one might reasonably some that you can use Google.

You're as much of an intolerant hater as any Trumper. Why not just be a Fascist and be done with it?

A Hillary Democrats guide to talking politics

#1, Never admit fault, accept blame, or take responsibility for your actions.
#2, When confronted with facts, disregard them, and go straight to insults, people like that.
#3, when confronting opposing viewpoints, make sure you utilize a condescending tone, voters are very receptive to being talked down to.
#4, When attempting to use facts to validate your message, make sure you don't use all of them. Feel free to make up new ones that better suit your goals.
#5, if none of this is working, remember that everyone who disagrees with you is a Putin puppet, that Hillary is the President, and money is speech, corporations are people and they're nice people and will protect you.
