Joe BidenCongratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Never thought I'd see the day I'd see DU members in lockstep with Donnie. rogue emissary Sep 2019 #1
No one at DU (excluding temporary "trolls" ) is in lockstep with Donnie. That is offensive. hlthe2b Sep 2019 #61
One man's troll is another man's supporter. rogue emissary Sep 2019 #124
You still haven't seen that day Bradical79 Sep 2019 #78
Our criticism of Joy Reid has nothing to do with the reasons why Trump went after her. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #2
Uh-Hunh. Just a coincidence that, after months of her "sniping," today was the day EffieBlack Sep 2019 #4
Today was the day she was pushig the idea that Biden should driop out. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #7
Really? Some here are claiming she's been doing it for weeks EffieBlack Sep 2019 #9
I haven't read all the replies in those threads, but I don't recall seeing any saying highplainsdem Sep 2019 #12
She didn't call for him to drop out today. That was her guest and she rebutted what he said. brush Sep 2019 #27
She allowed her guest to smear Biden at length, and she read from another Biden critic's column highplainsdem Sep 2019 #32

I'm not lying, and I posted the link to the interview in a thread defending Reid so people could highplainsdem Sep 2019 #62
That's a lie. Stop repeating it. Watch the show. It was her guest and she pushed back against it. brush Sep 2019 #28
highplainsdem has watched the show and this is Cha Sep 2019 #29
Cha, here's a direct link to the Facebook post where Joy asks her viewers about this: highplainsdem Sep 2019 #36
Mahalo! Right.. "not promoting".. Cha Sep 2019 #37
It called being complicit Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #81
I did not watch the show but did see True Blue American Sep 2019 #138
I did watch it. She gave her guest a lot of time to say Biden should drop out and condemn him as highplainsdem Sep 2019 #30
Did she herself say "Biden should drop out?" If not people are being cute with the facts. brush Sep 2019 #33
Again, it called being complicit Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #82
That's how I saw it. InAbLuEsTaTe Sep 2019 #131
Of course it doesn't have anything to do Cha Sep 2019 #10
You need to review the panel MSNBC had after the first debate Perseus Sep 2019 #18
There's nothing remotely like "fanaticism" in defending our strongest Democratic leaders from highplainsdem Sep 2019 #19

Absolutly right. Biden's supporters would do well to emulate comradebillyboy Sep 2019 #31
If you look at the comments from Biden supporters In this thread alone, I don't see them being Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #85
Indeed Joe's supporters are relativly polite and civil, however comradebillyboy Sep 2019 #88
I agree completely. I for one will defend, but will not go low. It doesn't help Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #92
In one breath you imply those critisizing Joy Reid are doing it for the same reason trump did still_one Sep 2019 #8
Ikr? She can't write an OP Cha Sep 2019 #134
I agree, and am disappointed in the OP for making that association with trump still_one Sep 2019 #135
I would say the one's doing Trump's bidding are the ones pushing for Biden to quit the race. n/t PoliticAverse Sep 2019 #11

Her opinions, whatever they are, are just that, and she's entitled to them. The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2019 #26
That's exactly right. And posters should get their facts straight and not say she called for Biden.. brush Sep 2019 #35
Not everyone sees it that way.. Cha Sep 2019 #40
Here's the other side to it. She didn't say "Biden should step down." Accuracy counts. brush Sep 2019 #41
I know that.. but she's promoting it.. Cha Sep 2019 #42
Well said. still_one Sep 2019 #44

Joy Reid is pushing her own losing agenda at the expense of the Democratic democratisphere Sep 2019 #51
Lol. Even Trump let this go hours ago EffieBlack Sep 2019 #52
