re: #107 b.d.

Every Republicans since 1982:

DEMOCRATS ARE SOCIALISTS!, MARXISTS!

So by having a “real” socialist is going to be a bridge too far? Will the wingnuts now say that she is the same as the rest of the Dems or that they were full of crap about Dems being Socialists all along?

It sounds like she’s a good representative of her new constituents, better than Crowley. And Manchin is as close a representative of his state that you can get and call the person a Democrat. That’s our party. We represent the country.
