supporters are not going to look at what ops go up and if they are factual in content or not.. Just because our particular candidate said he would not be going after people .. he never said he would not defend himself from erroneous attacks, or bent attacks.. and neither do his people who have chosen to support him.. and I would expect no less from the supporters of other candidates.. we know why we support people, we support our particular people for a reason, and a well thought out reason.. I hope you understand

1. So true

We just want a candidate that can win the Electoral College and beat trump. That's all that matters.

2. Everyone wants that

And a lot of people don't believe that Biden can do it because of his history of prior runs. He lost those for a reason. Obama was a great candidate. Biden was not. Obama isn't on the ticket.

3. Yet the people who do not believe never

"And a lot of people don't believe that Biden can do it..."

Yet the people who do not believe never post the numbers, the crunching, and the analysis to support their premise; just editorials, post-hoc fallacies and allegations.

Thus, you may begin to understand why so little credit is actually warranted or given.

(PS: no one is arguing Obama is on the ticket... you're the only one bringing that specious fallacy into play)

4. Personally....

I don't support Joe Biden for a reason. I support Joe Biden for reasons. Defeating Trump is the priority reason because without doing that, all the other reasons I support him will never have a chance to come to fruition. Defeating Trump by any candidate is the leading priority out of necessity.

5. Yes, a lot of attacks masquerading as concern today.

6. It's capiche...

Not “kapish.”

Particularly if a non Italian speaking person is saying it. While there is an actual correct Italian word this is based on (i.e Capisci), the informal use of it is spelled differently in speakers who are not speaking in Italian. AND THIS WORD IS RUDE. Please. Don’t argue with me about this.
And its not just rude if you’re “non-italian.” It’s just plain old rude.
Period

I agree 100% with the sentiment, but I have pulled the words from this article https://www.quora.com/Why-is-it-rude-for-a-non-Italian-person-to-ask-kapish-at-the-end-of-their-sentence

7. I do not speak Italian

And if I misused the word, or it is rude.. I truly apologize.. its something my Dad always said.. and he meant it as I hope you understand.. so I removed it from my op..

8. Sorry if I came off harsh...

I think the article I linked to describes the objection really well. Thanks for making the change.

9. No not at all.. I was the one who made the mistake.. and just glad you told me

because I did not understand it to be a rude use by a non Italian speaker.. which describes me to the max,,

10. I doubt anyone on DU expects you won't defend your candidate.
