Why did you misquote? Nixie Oct 2021 #20

Not a misquote, read the title that's what it says n/t luv2fly Oct 2021 #21

Why misquote? Omitting words is misquoting. Nixie Oct 2021 #24

Not sure why this is hard luv2fly Oct 2021 #28

That's not what was quoted. Nixie Oct 2021 #29

I added nothing luv2fly Oct 2021 #30

You make no sense but hey, have a good day n/t luv2fly Oct 2021 #42

Someone else pointed it out to you, too, so it does Nixie Oct 2021 #54

The poster makes perfect sense, and it is not a copy and paste. lapucelle Oct 2021 #55

Thanks. A simple reading shows the " some of..." Nixie Oct 2021 #59

What's that supposed to mean? George II Oct 2021 #17

It looks like some bitter losers who couldn't even win Nixie Oct 2021 #18

You could also say the same for people still crying about their 2016 loss to Trump SunImp Oct 2021 #56

Not really the same, sorry. Nixie Oct 2021 #58

Antagonistic people aren't allowed here either, but they are here SunImp Oct 2021 #60

Thanks for pointing out that picture was meant to be antagonistic. Nixie Oct 2021 #62

So saying "some bitter losers" is being friendly in your world? SunImp Oct 2021 #63

Projection, but no thanks for this tangent. Nixie Oct 2021 #64

Lol SunImp Oct 2021 #65

LOL, more projection Nixie Oct 2021 #67

The usual what? Supporters of the Democratic Party? betsuni Oct 2021 #25

I guess I needed one of those sarcasm thingies. argyl Oct 2021 #13

BTW, I was really impressed by the backing music. argyl Oct 2021 #16

That's some smoking work also. Really enjoyed it. argyl Oct 2021 #69

I don't know if it's all good DFW Oct 2021 #81

I guess my feelings should be hurt, but it's OK DFW Oct 2021 #41

Just another rabid Q-uack.... SergeStorms Oct 2021 #12

Did she actually go in the building during the riot? Polybius Oct 2021 #46

Why should we care? brooklynite Oct 2021 #32

The next time we hear from Forte is when she claims the vote was rigged and calls for a recount. FSogol Oct 2021 #40

She gives Brooklyn Italians a bad name Polybius Oct 2021 #48

she is from the Bronx, but I agree on your overall point Celerity Oct 2021 #49

Thanks, didn't know that Polybius Oct 2021 #50

if she was from Brooklyn she would be outside the 14th district Celerity Oct 2021 #51

Candidates for Congress don't need to live in their district, just their state. George II Oct 2021 #52

Yes, but it'd be a bad look, remember what happened to Ossoff in his House race Celerity Oct 2021 #78

She seems nice...... Hobo Oct 2021 #68

I will be curious to see of Team Blue PAC runs a primary vs. AOC LetMyPeopleVote Oct 2021 #71

They would get crushed, just like the Rethug-in-Dem-clothing poseur did in 2020. Celerity Oct 2021 #72

There are some great material on Just Us Democrats that will be interesting LetMyPeopleVote Oct 2021 #73

AOC left JD in June 2018, right after she won her 2018 primary. Celerity Oct 2021 #74

LOL. I enjoy laughing at the Just Us Dem and AOC emails LetMyPeopleVote Oct 2021 #75

Are you advocating to support Republicans...? Suggesting Nixie Oct 2021 #80

what are you in about, where did I ever mention Rethugs in that reply? Celerity Oct 2021 #84

You state there are no Dem challengers ( we know), but Nixie Oct 2021 #86

the poster I replied to was speculating about a primary challenge to AOC Celerity Oct 2021 #88

A fool and their money are soon parted BradAllison Oct 2021 #87

What primary challengers to AOC? What's a "filler"? betsuni Oct 2021 #83

filer, was a typo, corrected, thanks Celerity Oct 2021 #85

I will let Team Blue PAC pick the challenger LetMyPeopleVote Oct 2021 #89

Team Blue PAC is (quote) 'a new political group to defend incumbents facing primary challenges' Celerity Oct 2021 #90

Since Justice Democrats are primarying real democrats, I suspect that Jeffries will return the favor LetMyPeopleVote Oct 2021 #91

Team Blue PAC is going to be a big factor in the primaries next year. It's amazing that the.... George II Oct 2021 #92

What is a corporate incumbent? JustAnotherGen Oct 2021 #93

I personally am amused by the term "corporate democrat" because I am a corporate lawyer LetMyPeopleVote Oct 2021 #94

I think the term refers to Democrats like Sen Manchin and Sen Sinema. Tommymac Oct 2021 #95
