Dominance, not co-existence/live and let live.

Was she a senator before this? I'm wondering why we never heard about her before. I hope she wins. She seems very charismatic and fighting for the people.
Fair enough I suppose there is a group, I doubt you're wrong. But it doesn't change that Democrats should not walk on egg shells just to appease bigots that may or may not vote Blue. Let them vote Trump if talk like this offends them.
Institutional govt hasn't caught up, but the populace has been majority pro-LGBT for years. It's one of the red lines for the GOP that they were told needed to get tossed out after Romney way back in 2012, and they probably needed to ditch it earlier than that. It's not winning them votes at all, and like a good many things, the huge apolitical chunk of the country would love to stop hearing about gay people. So they're not huge allies or anything, but when a GOP politician tries to appeal to them via LGBT issues, they just groan.
She took the Massachusetts Senate seat Ted Kennedy once held after Scott Brown lost reelection in 2013. She's a very responsive Senator, or at least her office is, considering the email responses I've gotten from them over important issues.

It was like a 5th rate comedy bit that would get a muted cough from the back of the audience on a cruise ship

Just an FYI, during the LGBTQ+ town hall, that questioner verbally introduced himself as a Warren supporter and as a board member of the Human Rights Campaign. In addition, there was a graphic on screen that identified him as an HRC board member whenever he was on screen. All the questioners shared a tidbit about themselves and all named the candidate they were supporting. It's not unreasonable to assume the questioners donate to their favored candidate. A lot of us do.
So since all this info was already disclosed or easily inferred during and from the q&a, what's the same info posted in a tweet supposed to prove?
I agree.
As a Christian, I don't want any political leader using their religious beliefs as a basis for their decisions or as a basis for the laws they draw up. And unfortunately, it's done all the time.
The DNC is rigging the primary again duh.
How is that not obvious, you shitlib neolib identity corporate politics establishment shill? /s
You all don't know how hard I've wished that the DNC could even approach that level of underhanded competence.... sigh
Nobody posted the follow up question and answer. I did on my Facebook and I got chastised that she sounded super disingenuous. I believe her though
Usually these threads/articles that say something like "AOC ABSOLUTELY SAVAGES TRUMP" or "BETO DESTROYS TED CRUZ" or "OMAR DRAGS MCCONNAL YAS KWEEN" are just nothing but this was actually hilarious.
Same. It's absurd that it's used as a means to govern a country founded on allowing everyone to pursue their own liberties, and freedom to worship or not worship. It's obnoxious.
My favorites were the old "Trump said something, INSTANTLY REGRETS IT!!" and the article is a collection of 5 tweets saying he was wrong that he almost certainly never saw.
That the horseshoe theory is looking to be more and more legit.
Also, I would love to hear how on Earth they think the DNC went from rigging the election for Biden to rigging it for Warren
Guess they'll start turning on Sanders when they find out he doesn't want to literally behead billionaires
Invoking the painful experiences of conservative men unable to find dates in liberal cities. She'll rue this day.
Warren is rigging the primary by getting a donor snuck in to ask her a question she was almost guaranteed to be asked at an LGBTQ+ Town Hall to sabotage the true thing Bernie while Warren is the fake thing.
Not surprised. This is what made me like her years and years ago. She doesn't seem afraid at all of calling out on bullshit (usually on corporations). She seems fierce and ready to confront bullshit when she sees it.
I mean, the last 7 years of GOP pandering should have told you that.
"Blue check brigade"
Uhhh, what's that next your name there Marco?
Yeah, and look where that's gotten them.
High-Road and Politics are antonyms.
If you think comedy that's presented as off-the-cuff is actually off-the-cuff, I have a bridge to sell you. Candidates prepare for town halls and debates. They get grilled by their staff on likely questions. At no point should you believe anything that's said off the cuff by any candidate wasn't already brought up by their staff and thought out.
of course candidates have their rehearsed lines. I'm pretty sure Klobuchar doesn't have any that aren't. Presenting it as some gotcha zinger like this has been is embarrassing
Guys most comedy is pre-written and rehearsed.
Even if it wasn't off the cuff, this is still her stance so it rules.

I refer you to my irony and no fun allowed post. And, if you haven't noticed, Bernie recycles the same lines over and over and is probably one of the most rehearsed candidates.
Biden, on the other hand, seems least rehearsed and he sounds like a bumbling idiot.
I was a little suspiscious about her for that Native American thing, but since I've listened to her I'm convinced she may have a chance. Loved her answer btw.
