It should be gotten rid of, of course. Until then, we need to win the EC.

If I were to vote in a presidential

You were a Hillary supporter and switched to Bernie. You keep trying to conflate the Democratic R B Garr Feb 2020 #2

Yes. And I got 2016 just as wrong as the pundits. DanTex Feb 2020 #4

No offense, but you have gotten a lot more wrong than 2016. It's just an observation R B Garr Feb 2020 #6

Your personal attacks are great and all, but the fact remains. DanTex Feb 2020 #7

Observing that you are omitting large portions of news cycles that are common knowledge R B Garr Feb 2020 #8

The general election is what matters, in the end. DanTex Feb 2020 #9

No, the whole point is that you are cherry picking Bernie's talking points that failed R B Garr Feb 2020 #11

You seem to think that changing one's views in the face of new evidence is a bad thing. DanTex Feb 2020 #19

Let's face it, you are just adopting Bernie's talking points and repeating them without any context R B Garr Feb 2020 #20

I'm making a rational case for electability. Call it what you will, but you ignore the facts. DanTex Feb 2020 #21

Actually, you are the one inoring the facts. Your changed opinions aren't fact. R B Garr Feb 2020 #22

My changed opinions are based on facts that weren't available previously. DanTex Feb 2020 #23

You refuse to acknowledge the 2018 Blue Wave that completely contradicts R B Garr Feb 2020 #25

That was a midterm, which as everyone knows, is totally different dynamic. DanTex Feb 2020 #26

The Blue Wave completely contradicts you. Now you are throwing in "dynamic" as if that excludes R B Garr Feb 2020 #27

Again, that was a midterm. 2016 was a presidential election. DanTex Feb 2020 #29

A midterm is still an election. If midterms don't matter, then neither does AOC. R B Garr Feb 2020 #30

Of course they matter, as does AOC. DanTex Feb 2020 #35

It certainly isn't an attack to notice that your posts do not R B Garr Feb 2020 #36

There was a huge turnout in 2018. Did any of the "Our Revolution" candidates win? redstateblues Feb 2020 #34
