How did the Michael Avenatti resistance rally in Texas go? [View all] oberliner Oct 2018 OP

YOu know, I saw the Avanatti OP and I didn't have to see who the OP writer was. Nailed it. TheBlackAdder Oct 2018 #1

More DUers should start writing OPs critical of Avenatti oberliner Oct 2018 #15

So this is a critical OP? You are not "just asking questions"? Hassin Bin Sober Oct 2018 #42

Yes, it was a rhetorical question oberliner Oct 2018 #71

It's a valid question fallout87 Oct 2018 #51

Oberlin students would have zero patience for Avenatti oberliner Oct 2018 #68

..." Instead favoring real progressives who quietly and humbly devote their lives to the cause." irisblue Oct 2018 #106

Utter nonsense. Apparently you're ignorant of Avenatti's background. Doremus Oct 2018 #108

He didn't seem to shy away from anything. Great that he went to a phone operation. WeekiWater Oct 2018 #6

Clearly, he has a fan base oberliner Oct 2018 #18

And a non-fan base. WeekiWater Oct 2018 #24
