Never in a million years could a kill a baby. Never in a million years. Can you Dems?

Where are born babies being killed? Who says that they would kill born babies. If you are referring to late term abortions, then state this.

Then really think of the reason that a late term abortion would be considered. The likely reason for that the baby will like be born with a major deformity and die within a few years or because the baby is a danger to the mother. At this point, these women have probably already named this kid and have to make this agonizing, terrible decision.

There is this mentality that everyone just carries their baby around for 7 months then says "i don't want it".

It's cruel to the women that have to deal with this situation to infer that .

If you are only referring to tribalists who are ONLY voting because one has a D or R behind their name, then, no, I'm not your man. Some of us do vote for the person, their policies, and what is best for the country.

However, I'll post on this thread as I like. Thank you very much.

Bernie doesn't have a D or R behind his name.

Really this is about who will go up against Trump.

The choice will be binary. Trump or the person that gets the Democrat nomination.

One or the other will be the best person for the country in your mind. If you want a voice, you need to pick one of the binary choices.

Or don't have a voice. That's your call.

Stop being obtuse.

It will not be binary. There will be a third party candidate.

I will always have a voice. Even if that voice to not vote for Warren or Sanders because they are too progressive for this country.

I'm kind of the opposite. I didn't vote for Hillary because she was a horrible candidate and her pro-corporate, pro-military record was not for me. Trump also was never going to win my vote.

So I voted third party and was told that I was helping Trump win. That was 100% wrong. Hillary won my state and all of the electoral votes went to her.

I will not vote for Biden. Warren is my preferred candidate. I would vote for Bernie, but he is too old. Not sure about the other "moderates" but I've voted for a lot of third party candidates in my life.

No matter, the democrat will win my state again. Doesn't matter which one.

Klobuchar is clobberin' the competition in NH! Say hello to your next president!

Keith Ellison would have been a much better choice.

When you hire a swamp creature, you get swamp creature behavior. This was no surprise.

As someone who mostly liberal and most people in my circle are liberal, the majority of the problem with Trump is the way he upsets people. Strip away all of that, and sure he's rolled back some environmental protections and based a huge tax cut for the wealthy other than that he is basically Obama 2.0

Obviously, you have been heavily protected by your white privilege. Some of us are not as fortunate as you.

First of all, you have no idea if I am white or not. Second of all, if I am white, in what ways have I been protected? If you are disputing what I said, please expound, rather than just make a baseless statement.

I've been back and forth on this, but I think I'm going to hop off the Mayor Pete train and onto the Amy Klobuchar train. I've always liked her, and she really seems to be coming into her own. Her debate performances get better and better, and she's someone that independents and moderate Republicans can get behind.

Excited to see how she does tomorrow. The race is likely to be settled before it gets to my state, but I signed a petition a couple weeks ago to get her on our ballot.

I have been a Biden fan but my support is weakening. I really like Klobuchar too. Her debates have gotten stronger. I am really hoping she comes on strong.

If you lean left and vote for a third party candidate you are helping Trump.

You logic about it not mattering because your live in a democrat state is faulty.

You could say it doesn't matter if I vote Republican because my state will go Democrat regardless.

You could even say it doesn't matter if I vote Democrat because a Democrat will win anyways.

So basically you are saying no individual vote in your state matters.

Democrats are gross

Tulsi is yesterday's news. She is trying to get some coverage again.

Do you think Obama (or any of the current Democratic candidate) would do anything like this?

Or how about this one?

I could go on and on about how Trump's relentless attack on LEGAL immigration. Maybe you have never paid any attention to it.

How often do you worry you will be thrown out of the country?

It is clear and present danger for some of us, including naturalized citizen like myself. (Ever heard of his "denaturalization task force"?)

If you think Trump is Obama 2.0 other than tax cut and environmental regulations, you are either shielded from the constant terror of Trump's white nationalist agenda, or you are totally obtuse and you don't know what danger is coming. (Yeah, the latter is possibility. So sorry about not thinking about that possibility.)

Just to add to my previous post, as a man, I will never have to worry about unwanted pregnancy. That does not mean I can dismiss the issue of women's reproductive rights, let alone claiming there is no difference between Trump and Obama on that issue.

Here is the summary of Trump's "denaturalization" plan.

My application could be one of the 700,000 they are reviewing.

Obama deported more immigrants Than any other president. Google is your friend. You may also realize there are people who are American citizens that are not white.

Democrats are fairies

My vote did not hurt Hillary in any way or help Trump in any way. You are using faulty logic or you do not actually understand how our election system works.

In any case, I don't really identify with a party at all.

I could not vote for H. Clinton because she was pro-military interventionism and pro-big business. Those are not positions that I support.

If the Democrats nominate somebody like that again, I would not vote for them because I cannot support those policies. I will vote for a third party candidate who matches up more closely with my preferences.
