38. I leave insipid ego games to you

My point stands unrebutted. I didn't expect a thoughtful response but I thank you for being so predictable and continuing to provide a perfect example of how Democrats should not be: defensive and divisive. I am not perfect, by any measure, but I do a decent job of getting to the point and sticking to it. Thanks to you and a number of other posters I am also getting better at dealing with evasion.

I repeat, if you agreed with my point that most of us could not care less about your labels and that most of us want to defeat Nazis, you could have simply agreed. But you chose to deflect and get defensive. Now you mock.

You make my point. I have no hope of reaching you, but I suggest to my fellow Democrats that this kind of thing is exactly what we don't want and exactly what we don't need.

Thank you for illustrating my point so well.

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

That's parody, so say those who are in the know. I didn't get it either, Autumn Jul 2019 #32

Interesting phrase. We had a former poster who coined the term "third way progressive" Autumn Jul 2019 #14

From what I have heard Vegas Roller Jul 2019 #15

No. She was a well respected member here, a big Hillary supporter. Autumn Jul 2019 #16

She was a Bernie supporter, then things happened and she was not. betsuni Jul 2019 #18

No she was never a Bernie supporter. nt Autumn Jul 2019 #19

Yes she was. betsuni Jul 2019 #20

True, she didn't like Hillary either. Autumn Jul 2019 #31

She started out as a big Bernie supporter mcar Jul 2019 #21

We will disagree on this. She pretended, as all the messages she sent proved. No point in Autumn Jul 2019 #22

Wrong. betsuni Jul 2019 #23

Have it your way. She did coin an interesting phrase. Autumn Jul 2019 #24

"Centrist progressive" was a joke, of course. betsuni Jul 2019 #26

The poster I responded to didn't make it seem like it was a joke. Usually there is a hint Autumn Jul 2019 #27

Parody is difficult for some people to understand. betsuni Jul 2019 #28

Well I guess you would know Autumn Jul 2019 #29

She's not banned, she's FFR. mcar Jul 2019 #25

Pretty sure that Vegas Roller is referring to Manny. sheshe2 Jul 2019 #45

Most people, including myself, don't appreciate the labels Cary Jul 2019 #33

It might cross your mind to read the whole sub thread. You probably missed it in your rush to Autumn Jul 2019 #34

If it crossed your mind that we need a coalition, not labels... Cary Jul 2019 #36

OFFS. Tell you what Cary, you go agree with the two phrases "centrist progressive" and Autumn Jul 2019 #37

I leave insipid ego games to you Cary Jul 2019 #38

Again. Not my fucking labels.. I didn't make up those labels you find offensive, Autumn Jul 2019 #39

Good grief Autumn Cary Jul 2019 #40

Complete nonsense. Everything you have posted in your rants at me has nothing Autumn Jul 2019 #41

You think it is always all about you Cary Jul 2019 #42

All YOU did in every post to me was make it about me, my comments were on what someone posted. Autumn Jul 2019 #43

I asked a simple question, Autumn. You deflected and evaded Cary Jul 2019 #44

Nice! Thank You Iamaartist! Cha Jul 2019 #11

You all know Finley's work? theaocp Jul 2019 #12
