In reply to the discussion: New Video of Nevada Dem Convention Shows Someone May Have Been Hit By Chair [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)140. I just do not give a shit. People that call themselves progressives has no issue with what I saw.
Like I would not stand around watching that disgusting behavior, I am not gonna stand around having a conversation with those that do not have any issue. I might as well be talking to my 6'2" kick ass, all his life RW Fox news watching brother having this conversation.
You do not care. I get that. I do not care, that you do not care. You are ones that feed this garbage and it continues on.
