Not what he said... brooklynite Jan 2020 #12

You're right. I misread the statement, but stand by that Sanders would not do better to flip state Otto Lidenbrock Jan 2020 #20

Oh Bull.. It's not "criticism'.. it's an insult. Cha Jan 2020 #118

This isn't the time for critiques of the Democratic Party. Why isn't he focusing on beating Trump? StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #69

That's why it became my responsibility to add context since you didn't wish to. n/t Uncle Joe Jan 2020 #47

Your "context" doesn't do a thing to change the stupidity and tone-deafness of the comment. StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #72
