It's OK when Bernie does it. He's done it more than once.

Don't we elect people to office with the expectation they will ably represent us? Bernie made a judgement call to endorse this guy. He's not my senator and I don't think I'm good with a totally fluid scale of acceptance. On the other hand, I like most of what Bernie did. If I were a Vermont voter, I'd call in to voice disapproval but vote for him anyway.

Dan Lipinski even voted against Obamacare, and voted against Pelosi as house leader in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017


So why is Pelosi endorsing Dan Lipinski over progressive challenger Marie Newman?

I'm not completely comfortable with the idea of endorsing any candidate regardless of principle. On the other hand, Pelosi is doing what she thinks is best and saying fuck you to you. I do like that.

Why would Nancy Pelosi endorse someone like Lipinski over a progressive candidate?

Answer the question, don't try to obfuscate and ignore it

Lipinski voted against the ACA, voted agianst Pelosi as leader, is agianst LGBT rights and abortion, the very same social issues the SJWs of RIU are constantly so up in arms about, except when it comes to Pelosi, apparently. Aren't you gay? Lipinski disagrees with your rights, and Pelosi endorsed him over someone who supports them. Your thoughts on that?

I voted for him in 2016. I'm hoping somebody better shows up in 2020.

pad is demanding an answer. he never answers direct questions but expects his will to be done. I hear he is a top in his own mind who has masturbated to videos so much that he can't come naturally with a woman.

Seems pretty hypocritical to primarily criticize Republicans and conservatives who oppose LGBT rights and abortion, but then tacitly support Nancy Pelosi for endorsing one.. So where are the loud mouths now?

Goes to show you how principled they actually are

Yes it seems to be so. I said I'm not comfortable with it. But then again, Nancy Pelosi is a California rep. Why not let the LGBT community have their say? Homophobes like you can form your own discredited opinion and keep it to yourself. Thank you very much.

Well thank you for inadvertently pointing out the impossibility of "being represented" when your "representative" doesn't represent you.

Of course there's no such thing as being represented by a person who does something opposing your wishes, but do continue to use the oxymoronic language you've been instructed to use.

More proof of your juvenile approach to political logic.

I do like that she is saying fuck you to Bernie babies. You don't live in her state. There is nothing you can do but suffer in helpless rage. LOL

Juvenile bordering on infantile.

I know that caring about actual issues is a stretch for you, but I still think they have relevance.
