(57,755 posts)why? Facts matter, and your efforts to censor them does not advance discussion, and the anger with which you respond to anyone who disagrees with you or thinks at all differently from you is not promoting unity. Quite the opposite.
We have two current situations in which anti-women's rights candidates are being endorsed or singled out for special favor. That's not about the primary. It's about what is happening NOW.
I said or inferred nothing about the presidential primary. I pointed out we have seen even quite recently demands to primary Manchin. It is impossible to miss the fact that too may change core positions entirely in response to individuals and not based on principles. To claim anything you think might counter your core belief that Bernie Sanders is infallible is refighting the primary is dishonest.
I raised a central issue that there is a difference between voting for a red state Dem because of lack of options and holding them up as the future of the party and "progressivism." That set you off. I see that as a key difference, whereas you insist on obfuscation because you find my point inconvenient. I find that sad.

You can ask any question you want, but you don't have any right to control how others respond or think. To claim efforts to do so are about "unity" is not credible.
