Joe BidenCongratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
I agree. Only one party has continually been wrong. Don't lump us in equally. rusty quoin Jun 2019 #1
He's just stating what people think. That's a good thing. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #2

I disagree. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #11
I didn't say that "no Democratic administration has ever failed some Americans." pnwmom Jun 2019 #13
I disagree. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #15
I felt partly "let down" by the Obama administration but.. honest.abe Jun 2019 #37
If I report that you dislike both blue and red t-shirts, I'm just reporting what you dislike. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #42
Here's the problem: "Democratic and Republican administrations letting them down" honest.abe Jun 2019 #43
Again, don't shoot the messenger. A fact is a fact, whether you like it or not. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #44
The fact is there is no equivalence. honest.abe Jun 2019 #45
Shocking you don't understand that reporting a fact is not making it equal to another fact. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #46

I don't see where anyone called for "blind allegiance". But, Pete's statement at least Atticus Jun 2019 #9

smh.. he could have Cha Jun 2019 #12
Yes , he could have and should have, IMO. nt pnwmom Jun 2019 #14
He was wrong to say this.... quickesst Jun 2019 #6
Sounds like his long-time hero Bernie dalton99a Jun 2019 #16
Yes, I hear echoes of that. n/t pnwmom Jun 2019 #18
I thought of that.. not telling Cha Jun 2019 #22
He's telling the truth, and that ought to be Ron Green Jun 2019 #19
Then how is he going to succeed where all the other Dems have failed, from his perspective? pnwmom Jun 2019 #20
I'm sure he recognizes and acknowledges Obama's positive qualities and efforts, but Ron Green Jun 2019 #54
He's got a pretty substantial ego if he thinks his years of being Mayor of a town of 100K in Indiana pnwmom Jun 2019 #55

I have no problem with his remarks; I've been told the same by Democratic Leadership... brooklynite Jun 2019 #29
One reason they don't vote for us is because they are told both parties are the same. MrsCoffee Jun 2019 #31
Exactly. honest.abe Jun 2019 #33
To one extent they are... brooklynite Jun 2019 #34
Trump didn't win. MrsCoffee Jun 2019 #35
Yes he did... brooklynite Jun 2019 #36
I hope and pray its not the same in 2020. honest.abe Jun 2019 #38
No he didn't. MrsCoffee Jun 2019 #39
"But somehow I'm not surprised to see this claim of legitimacy" brooklynite Jun 2019 #40
