Access to her vagina is a basic human right. All for one and one for all comrade!Pitchfork51 said:

I didn't say they shouldn't have access to her.HardlyClothed said:
Ah so people who live and work in her district, many of them for decades, and who are directly impacted by her proposed policies are not her constituents and should not be allowed access to her.dnc said:
Illegal immigrants aren't constituentsHardlyClothed said:
There was an illegal immigrant from our state that was targeted by ICE and deported just because he spoke to the press if I recallGrundleStiltzkin said:

Ok then fundraisers and conference calls with wealthy donors should be public or provide transcripts to reporters.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Or it’s fine if she wants to hold a private event with constituents who don’t even have to pony up for her access.
Maybe we should only allow uber wealthy immigrants to provide input into our politics. Rupert Murdoch perhaps. He’s been such a positive influence on our political system in his time here.
You're the one who brought up how she should be able to meet with her constituents in this thread. Multiple times. I agree.
Then you brought up how the presence of the press can be a threat to illegal immigrants. Which may well be true.
But by definition illegal immigrants are not her constituents, unless you're arguing that they vote anyway, which would be a very off brand argument for you.

Yes. Trump is literally Obama and Hillary's fault. How are you not understanding this?allpurpleallgold said:

He doesn't stand on his own merit at all. It's a direct reflection of Obama and Hillary's failure.
Every single thing he does that you don't like is Hillary and Obama's fault. (and the dem party as a whole but those are the only two that actually matter) -
