Evidence? SocialDemocrat61 Dec 2024 #32

The poster said they "suspect." Do we have to prove our hunches now? leftstreet Dec 2024 #42

And Trump supporters "suspect" the 2020 election was stolen SocialDemocrat61 Dec 2024 #44

Yet you haven't proven your own assertion leftstreet Dec 2024 #47

First, I never claimed that SocialDemocrat61 Dec 2024 #49

who needs to earn ballots when you have superdelegates? cadoman Dec 2024 #78

Super delegates are undemocratic SocialDemocrat61 Dec 2024 #80

The super delegates did not determine the election iemanja Dec 2024 #122

Second point I'd like to make: intheflow Dec 2024 #55

Sorry but Sanders SocialDemocrat61 Dec 2024 #58

He registered as a Democrat in 2019 to primary. intheflow Dec 2024 #69

Yes he's done that before SocialDemocrat61 Dec 2024 #71

He caucuses with Democrats and that's enough. His state voters prefer he remain an Independent Autumn Dec 2024 #72

No argument there SocialDemocrat61 Dec 2024 #77

Because he's told them FDR/LBJ aren't liberal democrats but "democratic socialists" which are the true roots betsuni Dec 2024 #84

Because it was weaponized against him in 2015-16. intheflow Dec 2024 #104
