Yep. She was probably my first choice until the DNA test bullshit. And re: Tutsi, she's disqualified due to her Support of and from Hindu nationalists/fascists, in addition to her being an Assad apologist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The 'I'm sorry' 2020 Democratic primary (Politico) Expressions of regret for past positions out of step with today's Democratic Party have become an early staple of the presidential race.

PaladinSolo Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I don't think it really matters who dems nominate, as long as they focus on their policies and let Trump pummel himself into oblivion, this idea that only X person can win is just straight nonsense.
