Aug 2017

the fact he can't remember it says a lot and how much it was just based on who she endorsed instead of what he knew of her.

that's what it always comes down to with this poster.

What I said was wrong. I'd forgotten I posted it. Ken Burch Aug 2017 #15

It illustrates we often hold others to a much higher standard than we hold ourselves to. LanternWaste Aug 2017 #17

The point is to say that what I said was wrong. Ken Burch Aug 2017 #19

There is rarely, if ever, simply one, rather than many points available at any given time. LanternWaste Aug 2017 #21

Is every progressive obligated to give unquestioning support to ALL Democratic officials Ken Burch Aug 2017 #24

And this is the same non-honest response we always get to that observation stevenleser Aug 2017 #33

My response was honest. Ken Burch Aug 2017 #37

You are extremely invested in trying to get people to accept your constant criticism of democrats. boston bean Aug 2017 #39

I AM a Democrat. Ken Burch Aug 2017 #40

You asked. All you do is criticize democrats andd then when other democrats disagree, you whine like boston bean Aug 2017 #42

There you go again. Thanks for playing. boston bean Aug 2017 #49

I addressed your point directly. Ken Burch Aug 2017 #52

Yeah. If you say so. boston bean Aug 2017 #53

No it wasn't. No one said we shouldn't vet our candidates stevenleser Aug 2017 #47

It's not honest to equate my past comments on Kamala to racism. Ken Burch Aug 2017 #50

My suggestion, which you'll ignore, is that you stop posting about Kamala Harris. yardwork Aug 2017 #41

You posted some very similar things about Perez BainsBane Aug 2017 #43

Ok...I said some respectfully critical things. I also posted an OP congratulating him when he won. Ken Burch Aug 2017 #46

You follow that comment thread, it's impossible not to conclude it's directed at Schumer. Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #135

It wasn't calling him a sexist.. as you so imply with your direct link to a comment implying that. boston bean Aug 2017 #137

No, that's not what I'm implying. But the post in question? Clearly aimed at Schumer Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #138

Oh no?? Then why did you pick a reply that said that? boston bean Aug 2017 #139

because I was talking about the reply, not your OP? Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #140

That's just not very realistic. All these hard-left absolutes are a mistake. NurseJackie Aug 2017 #133

By the way, it's a BIG mistake to try and liken your "revolution" to AA and LGBT struggles. NurseJackie Aug 2017 #158

I wasn't likening left activists to historically oppressed communities. Ken Burch Aug 2017 #160

You're comparing this "revolution" thing to the struggles of AA's POC and LGBT citizens. It's not. NurseJackie Aug 2017 #163

I was only talking about the vision of those movements. Ken Burch Aug 2017 #165

Yes you did. NurseJackie Aug 2017 #167
