2. Oh geez. Now you are SEEKING a way to attack other candidates

Show some restraint.....please. It’s not enough for you that most all of us here have piped in to stick up for Biden and/or jump on the media giving credence to Trump’s attacks?

Why would you want to alienate those of us who support other candidates for this primary over an issue you are MANUFACTURING?

Please reconsider your intent here.

Gee, I hope I’m just missing something and your intention isn’t to cause unnecessary primary strife. It would be just awful if you were manufacturing primary strife deliberately. How does THAT sound to you?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
They should be circling the wagons. Anything can happen and one of them become the next target. emmaverybo Sep 2019 #1
Oh geez. Now you are SEEKING a way to attack other candidates blm Sep 2019 #2
I'd expect Biden to speak up for any other candidates being attacked this way, too. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #4
Baloney. And it may have escaped your notice that this is a GD issue blm Sep 2019 #8

See reply 11. And drop the personal attacks. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #13
It was an accurate description of your post. blm Sep 2019 #15
Some of us feel the other candidates should defend Biden by name. Deal with that. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #17
Personalized attack. "Deal with it," certainly conveys an attitude. Were you attacked? No candidate emmaverybo Sep 2019 #33
No, as democrats, we should care about each other, this is what Iliyah Sep 2019 #14
THIS. These candidates represent our party. It is fair for us to have expectations of them as a emmaverybo Sep 2019 #35

Her OP was insultingly disingenuous in its original form blm Sep 2019 #21
No, it wasn't. And you can tell by the replies here that others understood why I felt it was highplainsdem Sep 2019 #23
What's with the 'by name' goal post? Attacking Trump for what he did blm Sep 2019 #26
I'm surprised you don't understand the importance of defending fellow candidates by name when highplainsdem Sep 2019 #52
Yes, because it involves an alleged attempt to meddle in the primaries by inflicting damage on emmaverybo Sep 2019 #29
Exactly.. Thank you, emmaverybo! Cha Sep 2019 #36
No, it's a primaries issue. I'd like to see our candidates willing to defend one another from highplainsdem Sep 2019 #11
Uh, I agree this is latest news more so than a Dem Primary sprinkleeninow Sep 2019 #54
Hope every candidate will follow @SenKamalaHarris's lead. Cha Sep 2019 #64
also Biden doesn't need to be defended as much as trump needs to be called out for what he is doing JI7 Sep 2019 #5
Exactly. But that truth doesn't fit the agenda. blm Sep 2019 #27
No agenda. Asking them to be stand up candidates and follow Harris's gutsy and righteous lead. emmaverybo Sep 2019 #40
I have deleted the last two sentences of my OP. But I do want to know if other candidates are highplainsdem Sep 2019 #6
Thanks for deleting the last two sentences of your post. That changes the whole tone of the post. Bongo Prophet Sep 2019 #55
I think her intent is pretty clear, based on recent history. Bongo Prophet Sep 2019 #7
".. swarming.."? Do tell us more about this Cha Sep 2019 #20
Sure thing Cha! It is not an accusation, but an observation of human behavior Bongo Prophet Sep 2019 #57
LOL at the ludicrous idea that asking if any other candidates (besides Harris) defended Biden by highplainsdem Sep 2019 #22
I had no "outrage" faux or otherwise. Bongo Prophet Sep 2019 #59
They aren't swarmers. They just didn't feel its tone as some of us blm Sep 2019 #24
There were replies here agreeing with me before I edited it. I had not meant to offend anyone here. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #28
It's ok if she wants to be VP too. That's on the way to president. :D NCLefty Sep 2019 #44
Why not address the OP directly? emmaverybo Sep 2019 #30
It is funny, isn't it? Drunken Irishman Sep 2019 #31
Great point! highplainsdem Sep 2019 #34

Pretend it's Bernie's son. Would you be so loud? JoeOtterbein Sep 2019 #43
If it came straight from Trump begging a foreign nation to criminally intervene, I hope we would ... Hekate Sep 2019 #45
We don't have to "pretend".. trump is Cha Sep 2019 #46
If Trump were doing something like this to Bernie and his son, of course. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #50
By the way, what is Senator Sanders' response? Hekate Sep 2019 #58
Trump has attacked many democratic candidates, including Warren, Sanders, O,Rourke... 33taw Sep 2019 #51
This attack is several orders of magnitude worse than anything else he's done in this election. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #53
We need to defend all of the candidates as soon as the abusive behavior starts. 33taw Sep 2019 #61
Biden should be able to defend himself. Tipperary Sep 2019 #60
Hope every candidate will follow @SenKamalaHarris's lead Cha Sep 2019 #63
Your conclusion does not follow from your premise. LanternWaste Sep 2019 #68
