And they attacked our country and party directly. Don't tell peoole on a Democratic party forum that such a person is a Democratic leader. Really he would mostly fly under the radar if you didn't force him into every single thread you post in. You're intentionally baiting and disrupting conversation trying to get people to watch a Russian propaganda channel.

If you think responding to your dishonest posts promoting a man supporting Russian propaganda is a violation of the TOS, then take it up with them directly. There's an entire sub-forum for that. Otherwise you're violating the TOS yourself.

It's because Thom has had Bernie on his show and has been supportive of Bernie for years berni_mccoy Aug 2017 #11
