We'll see, won't we?

FDR was a rich white guy and he didn't sell out the working class.

Moderates and Independents can vote for the party playing footsie with Putin if they want. There's no stopping stupid.

Yeah there's no place for whites and white leadership in the democrat party. They should just come over to the inclusive republican party, people of color too.

NO, it's the RIGHT who is saying this is the way the Left should be thinking about Kennedy. Thanks for the 'help' but we are capable of making up our own minds about the guy.

yep, exactly. I have no idea why, but the righties on C-D delight in telling us lefties what we think. Of course they get it wrong every time, but it is so amusing to watch them say such silly things.

Why do we care what he has to say again?


Another career politician making his retirement off of the bankrupting of this county.

Here's "silly righty" Michael Moore saying it:

“As we seek to rid ourselves of Trump, we must also cleanse our American soul of its white male privilege, its voracious greed,” Moore said in his address at the so-called People’s State of the Union prior to Trump’s speech Tuesday night.

Do you get it now?
