So, Do You Sort of Remember Some Dirt about a Democratic Candidate? [View all]

Why not just post it here? It doesn't matter if it's true or not. Just post it and ask if anyone else is "concerned" about it.

It's a great primary strategy, for sure. If you can find some supposed dirt on a candidate you don't support, by all means post it right away in your "concern." That way, the Republicans will be able to find it easily once we have a Democratic nominee.

It's a great way to help out the Republicans, don't you think?

So, dig deeply and post whatever nastiness you can find about any candidate you don't care for. You needn't fact check it or post links to support the claim. Those don't matter. Just get it out there to hurt someone you don't support for the nomination.

What a great idea, eh?

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

Isn't that the expression people use for everything that happens MineralMan Apr 2019 #27

I took that thread as simply as an error, which apparently has been corrected. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #19
