112. Sorry if I misinterpreted your response

But you began this little tif with your remarks about

"I do not want people who don't want to be Democrats using the Democratic Party for their own political ambitions because they don’t want to work within n the Democratic Party"

Sorry, I took that as you were referring to Bernie Sanders. Its so prevalent in here with a few, to use any excuse to bring up their antagonism towards him. I didn't see how Stein would be considered as "using" the Democratic Party for their own ambitions, and its a bit of a stretch to say Sarandon was/is either.

I just find it odd that some say they respect Harris, Warren, and others, but then, in effect, do not respect these women's judgement or choice in who they work with. Do not trust their judge of character about Sanders, and their decision to work with him, instead of ostracizing him.
