106. So doing research isn't your forte?

If you wanted an honest discussion, you're going about it all wrong. Here's a hint: excusing attacks on people for any reason is wrong. Period.

Also, it's a book tour:

http://2paragraphs.com/2017/02/bernie-sanders-book-tour-turning-into-a-movement/

Lots of spin, not so much honesty, certainly no facts, but, I'm not a "bro" and enjoy learning what Bernie's out there doing, and go buy his book on Amazon, that's an outcome he'll appreciate, since it is a book tour after all.

And welcome back, whomever you are. No one has time of dishonest play acting, but way to master the site, you're sure a quick study for someone who has so many problems reading what people actually write (as opposed what you imagine they did), and not being able to do a quick google search for Bernie's 2017 book tour.

Yeah, those that enjoy attacking progressives, Democrats and the party see these attacks synergie Mar 2017 #42

Ok so you reply to a post thanking you for being reasonable by going on the attack? Kentonio Mar 2017 #89

You weren't thanking me for anything, nor were you being reasonable. synergie Mar 2017 #92
