In reply to the discussion: Bernie is not even a Democrat, so why is he ripping our party apart? [View all]Ninsianna
(1,349 posts)71. How interesting, know who also regularly appears on Fox news?
Nomiki Konst, Katie Halper, Nina Tuner.
Does this mean they are not credible Democrats either?
I mean if we're going to have standards, they should apply to everyone and not just people who don't agree with us, right?

The Russians aren't part of the "opposing side." At least they're not supposed to be.

Yeah, math like in 1984 when the population was around 2/3rds the present population.

The population of the US in 1984 was about 20 million MORE than "2/3rds the present population"

Of course she got more votes "ever" because the U.S. population is the largest "ever"

Not a meaningless statistic at all - unless you are talking about how likeable HRC is.

You keep saying that. So how are the primaries being re-litigated? I just don't see it.

The OP pointedly says that this is NOT the time to re-litigate the primaries, and he/she isn't.

True, but it's WAY past time to re-litigate what we STAND FOR as a party.

It's re-litigation to keep arguing that Bernie shouldn't have been allowed in the primaries.

I didn't claim it was in the OP. I was talking about the general concept of re-litigation.
