    Reproductive freedom. Sounds like a phrase right out of 1984.

    Freedom to decide when to reproduce. It’s not hard.

    Orweillian is a phrase such as “right to work,” which sounds like something that was put over Nazi concentration camp doorways.

    Or an early version of an Elton John song,
    “Reproductive freedom, I luh-uh-uh-uh you. Yes i do. “

    Here’s the thing about those of us who would rather not vote for Sanders or Bloomberg in the primary: WE DON’T HAVE TO. We have other choices. This idea that we are all just bots who do what the teevee tells us to do is, frankly, insulting and scary. Don’t want to vote for Sanders or Bloomberg because they aren’t actually Democrats, or because their policies don’t match up with yours? Then don’t. Vote for Warren or Klobuchar or whoever you actually prefer. That’s what a primary is for. It’s really that simple. Isn’t it?

    No one is saying vote for Bloomberg or Sanders and that’s it.

    what rational people are saying is that not voting on Election Day, November 2020, is a vote for trump.

    Yes, it is. BTW, anyone who doesn't think TV coverage of Bloomberg is driven by the revenue his ads generate for the networks and local TV stations is painfully naive.

    Agreed, 100 percent. In November, there is no choice. Right now, there is, and it’s just getting old to see the left kvetching as if there isn’t.

    Right now, the only option is who can win in November. That's the only rational vote.
    Klobuchar is the best candidate to win. She's got the least baggage unless the left wing canabalizes the party.
    I like Bloomberg, he checks most of my boxes. He's willing and able to hit trump. He's left on social issues, he's strong on alliances with Europe and Asia. He's fairly old school establishment republican on the economy. You can't paint a self made guy who's worth 50 billion as a socialist.
    Stop n Frisk v. Separate children from their parents and put them in concentration camps is not a choice.

    Buttiegieg is smart, makes good policy judgements and is a very speaker. But I think being gay still will hurt him too much. The crazy christians on the right don't think blasphemy, adultery, fornication, false witness, coveting and child abuse are disqualifying for trump. But a monogamous married homosexual is too much for them.

    Just as the Good Lord intended.

    Did anyone ask her, as a believer in Christ, when did she apologize to James Comey for lying about him repeatedly on national television?
