I didn’t know he was black. I’ll take him at his word. I made an assumption. That’s different than literally telling someone they not black when they tellin you they are.

Like, I assume dacomeup is white.

I know you from the islands, etc.

LMAO. You, supporter of white supremacy, assume I AM WHITE? That is ******* hilarious.

 

[dwalk31]

And people made an assumption about you based on your post.

Yet you call their assumptions a violation, but yours is cool?

Sorry, that's hypocrisy.

It’s the remarks after the clarification.

You know it’s not synonymous.

 

[dwalk31]

LMAO. You, supporter of white supremacy, assume I AM WHITE? That is ****ing hilarious.

Was I wrong?

Like I said it’s an assumption. If you clarify it, I’m not going to tell you that you’re lying.

Good grief.

Republicans really saw Biden get fourth in Iowa and decided to launch an investigation

 

[Christian Pulisic]

gross

 

[gry60]

Pubs with way better voter data than any of us have are pulling for this dude for a reason....

Democrats don't understand what it means to get ahead of a story; that may hurt Bernie because we all know "socialist" is not the only trick the GOP has in its bag. We know from 2016 dude got some skeletons in his closet that were never scrutinized, and Trump will get very nasty this year.

gross

maybe follow up and ask about those Ohio state wrestlers bodies that were violated

Yeah I think people are really underestimating the downside risk of running Prime. And I think Bernie and a lot of his supporters tell themselves comforting lies about the politicial landscape instead of grappling with the reality of the situation.

White boys want their country back...so they can sell it to the highest bidder. That should tell you that this country is of no true value.

He'll be painted as a radical socialist with ease. I REALLY don't want to count on voters to finely parse his record.

If the campaign in 2020 becomes Dems having to litigate whether they hate or like America, we're going to get crushed.

And to the rejoinder that Fox News will demonize anyone..... well sure. But that doesn't mean swing voters swallow that BS. They were unmoved by the attempted smears on Obama because they were obviously baseless.

But Sanders record is different. Personally I don't care what he did or didn't do in 1980 but I don't think we can count on most voters to feel the same.

They could actually file a motion to compel with the courts if they really wanted him to testify instead of just making headlines.

Likewise, Bolton could have just given the information if he wasn’t just trying to sell a book by offering Senate testimony.

Shouldn’t the voters have the option of two clear ideologies?

Socialist Jesus has the least amount of dirt/skeletons than anybody else with a real shot of winning the Dem nomination.

"Radical Socialist" isn't the scary term that it was 20 years ago, except to the same group of people who called Obama one. Those same people confuse and conflate "liberal" "leftist" "progressive" etc.

I not really sure what kind of dirt is out there on Pete since he doesn’t have congressional experience, but I would have to guess it is less than other candidates

I was going to say this. But I would be truly shocked if Pete won the Democratic primary.

Nah, he has a bad past when it comes to how he treated his black constituents in Southbend. There's a reason why he had to virtue signal during his "victory" speech in Iowa by having black people line the front row. I expect it to be more obvious as time goes on.

they call anything they don’t like socialist. That’s what they’ve been trained to do.
