Maybe if you keep repeating it, it will come true.
I was wondering when the boyfriend was going to chime in.

I didn't say it wasn't offensive. It's a strong reason to believe Warren is being honest about her the stories from her upbringing.White folks giving Native American recipes in a cookbook called Pow Wow Chow
That’s not offensive in the least.
Enough though. No one is changing anyone’s mind here. In today’s political landscape I really don’t see this as being a political killer even if she lied through her teeth about this whole thing
Is it smart the way she’s trying to play this currently. Hell no. She should just lay low for awhile then run on her platform
Of course she did. How else would Warren come by the story? Her brother and her cousin both said they were told her grandfather was part Delaware and her grandmother is part Cherokee.Elizabeth said on video that her father's parents wouldn't let him marry her mother because she was Cherokee and Delaware Indian. And she said they had to elope because of that.
Who knows maybe Warren's mom was saying all this stuff back when she was young, that she was a Delaware and Cherokee.
Nah, I'll never let it go. Hillary was the wrong candidate for the moment and its her own fault that she lost. As a Bernie voter I don't exactly agree with everything he said(e.g. $15 MW) but in hindsight there seems to me to be little doubt that he would've been the better candidate to put up against Trump.I wonder what it is about the left that makes them unwilling or unable to see this. I got into an argument with some Canadian proportional representation proponents on my facebook the other day. This is a favourite hobby horse of the Canadian left, and the Canadian right whenever they would stand to benefit. They really don't seem to realize that, though it would positively tickle their taints to finally get to vote for someone with just the right stance on palestine or carbon emissions, they don't realize that there's about 15% of Canada, and indeed every western country, who are batshit insane and a further 20% who don't mind making bedfellows with them.
One person said ''I've always voted green and my vote's never been counted.'' Stop voting for a bunch of bum ass hippy losers, then. Very simple, but compromise is anathema to them. To them, democracy should be burger king: have it your way, always, only, and exactly.

I mean, she was a shitty candidate buuuuut...
I think you're right. Bernie is sort of third party himself, and way more charismatic than Hilldawg. It probably would've made a difference in the 3 states that swung the election.Nah, I'll never let it go. Hillary was the wrong candidate for the moment and its her own fault that she lost.

I just have a hard time imagining anyone who would vote for Hillary not voting for Bernie but I can see it the other way around. The x factor are voters who would've been excited to vote for Hillary but would stay home if it was Bernie but I don't think that would've been a significant factor.I think you're right.

You know it to be true, just admit it.
Its a democracy, once a candidate like Hillary feels she's entitled to votes from sectors of the electorate she's doing it wrong.Bernie was the better candidate to run, for sure. If only because then the precious ''I'm a democrat but I just can't bear to cast a vote for Hillary'' voters might've stepped in line.
Yeah, I'm almost positive a Hillary letdown would not have been a factor in the states that were close. Might have reduced the difference in popular vote.I just have a hard time imagining anyone who would vote for Hillary not voting for Bernie but I can see it the other way around.

You don't get blaming the candidate? Sure an election has many more moving parts than a boxing match so on some level there's blame to go around. But the candidate is the face of the campaign, her presentation and her reputation have a non-negligible impact on its success or failure.I've never heard it said that it's the candidate's fault for losing before, and I don't really get it. I guess it comes from sporting analogies, but elections are not like sporting contests. I also think that we really don't know if Sanders would have done any better, and we had no reason to think that in advance. Note that Clinton outperformed down-ballot Democrats.
Again, her claim (the very same one that was used to label her a "minority") was that she heard she had a distant NA ancestor. The test backs that up. I'm not reticent to acknowledge any facts; I'm just not *interpreting* facts in an unreasonable way to infer a claim that wasn't made and that was explicitly disavowed. It seems to me that you're just upset that I'm not putting words in her mouth (something you're normally quick to accuse others of doing, I should note).
Actually, I was talking about that pinhead you threw your support behind.I was mistaken. I owned up to it. There's a difference.
See, if I was Jack, I'd just ignore the correction that was made, and continue on spreading falsehoods, despite evidence to the contrary.
In fairness, she took an awful lot of abuse from Trump and others over nothing much; she's trying to get some revenge. It may be unwise, but it's totally understandable.The outrage would come from her still playing political football with it, after she got the results back. Ignorance is one thing. If she just didn't know, and then apologized after getting the results back, that would be one thing, but she's still using it as a feather in her cap, like she proved the Native status she's been touting all these years.
Don't take my word for it though. Take the Cherokee peoples' word for it, who have denounced her, called it insulting, and told her to shut the fuck up about it.
It makes her look even worse though after claiming she supposedly didn't care about it.In fairness, she took an awful lot of abuse from Trump and others over nothing much; she's trying to get some revenge. It may be unwise, but it's totally understandable.
