I posted my opinion about something here on DU. You disagree with that opinion. That's well within the purpose of DU and the Democratic Primaries forum. I don't mind if you disagree. Not at all.

But, then, you ask people to alert on my post, in hopes that a jury will decide to hide my post. That's a pretty strange thing to do, I think. Why ask others to do that? Why not alert on it yourself? I'm confused about those questions.

I will continue to post my opinions here. You can count on that. It's what I do on DU. And so will you, I imagine.

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