    So why bother tearing down your preferred candidate? Showcasing a lackluster resume won’t change policy, at most it just turns people off.

      To suppress enthusiasm while appearing to be an ally.

      What’s she supposed to do here? It’s just a hit piece.

      We should always hold politicians feet to the fire and point out their flaws. Regardless of which side they’re on.

        lol lol that’s bs. You support your candidate or you support the opposition. I’m winner take all contests, you have to avoid distractions.

        What you are talking about can occur specifically during primary elections.

          And that’s why there are two pieces of shit to choose from, because nobody will ever hold their fucking politicians accountable. As they keep getting rewarded for bad behavior they keep getting worse.

              I’m not a Dem or GOP. I’m registered No Party Preference and I’m far left. If you’re a Dem, you’re closer on the political spectrum to Trump than I.

                  Nah, Tulsi is a grifter piece of shit. She’s very anti-war but is she sincere about it? Doesn’t seem like it anymore.
