2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Thomas Friedman to Republicans: This time around you should just take a pass, try in 4 years. [View all]Tarheel_Dem
(31,234 posts)31. "Tell us some facts on your own." Why? You haven't.
And you're still making sweeping statements. You obviously can't stop yourself.
."You and your group" seem to spend your time challenging but never stating your stands on issues"
On the flip side, however, "you and your group" seem content to just make shit up, and that's sad. Who can respect that? Even if there were a grain of truth in what you say, if you become known for making shit up, the rest of what you have to say becomes pretty much irrelevant. It's about credibility. If OWS follows your lead, I don't see much of an impact, or a future for that matter. And as for "challenging"? Let's just say I have a finely tuned bullshit detector.
