inferring I am lying?

I am now waiting for the first debates to decide what I will do then

In this thread, which is the one in question, you only refer to one candidate with your ageist implications, this is the one I am referring to. The one we are talking about.

Also, using age as a criteria as to vote or not vote for someone is ageist bullshit, and I don't care how you want to package it.

The fact is how mentally and physically sound someone is to do the job as president is the criteria you look at, not at their chronological age.

Saying that Sanders was not going to be the nominee, is not a negative or positive, it is simply your opinion. Though it does disregard that he has turned up as one of the top two in the polls up to now. A lot can happen though, to change that in either direction.

I also have nothing to apologize to you for. I wonder if I did a search on you posts in the last 30 days if one candidate would stand out for negative inferences, out of all the other candidates. I also wonder how many posts I would see about why someone should vote for your preferred candidate.

I don't care who you get along with or don't get along with, that has nothing to do with what we are discussing in this thread, but since you brought it up, What I have observed mostly from Sanders supporters here is reasons to vote for Sanders, and less about reasons not to vote for someone else, but that is just my superficial observation


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
