It's not a matter of bashing those with different opinions; the problem arises The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2019 #53

no. Democrats are America's only salvation. also it's not a major victory which was my main point. Kurt V. Oct 2019 #43

It is a major foundation victory. There have been a number of major victories, starting with empedocles Oct 2019 #61
