Thank you Hillary for raising money for the party!




At least one of our candidates actually shows she is interested in party building.

Sanders has shown no inclination towards party building and this is one reason he should not be our nominee.

End of rant.

the leader of the Party?

Shouldn't the nominee actually be in the tent - even though it is very big?

And by his actions he has shown he is only interested in getting himself elected.

And thanks to the Clinton family who, in addition to its exemplary public service nonetheless finds time to raise billions through the Clinton Foundation, 89% of which (according to fact check) goes to support noble charitable causes around the globe.

Is the highest virtue one can exhibit.

Loyalty to party trumps all ideas, discussion, and actions.

Viva la blue team! Just a tiny bit less slimy than that slimy red team, and why we should all be loyal to the Party above all else.

A political party is an association of like-minded individuals who come together for the inherent power of the collective, especially in a two-party majority-rule political system.

I hope someday you will join us.

Is much more important than loyalty to some organization or another.

When the two conflict, the path we choose defines us as sentient beings.

That's like saying cobra venom is healthy because it is organic. Communism, fascism, and revolutionary socialism are ideals not well received in a federalist democracy.
