In reply to the discussion: Why does the Wash. Post (& Cable News) seem so afraid of Bernie? [View all]Eliot Rosewater
(34,282 posts)82. All I know is ANYONE who would have a Biden photo in their post saying they support
Biden in the primary can absolutely be counted on to support AGGRESSIVELY AND LOUDLY any Democrat who ultimately gets the nomination.

Lets bookmark these conversations for later.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Remember that [2014] study saying America is an oligarchy? 3 rebuttals say it's wrong.

Most of us know a strawman argument so hopefully one would know better than to believe such drivel.

That is quite a top lofty strawman you got there. Did you get that from the Informal Fallacy store?

I've reported on Bernie Sanders for years. A free press won't give him what he wants.
