Your opinion is valid of course... the_sly_pig Mar 2020 #84
You're Damned Right It Is, Sir The Magistrate Mar 2020 #85

And how does this... Catch2.2 Mar 2020 #80
Interesting. First you accuse me of "bashing" MineralMan Mar 2020 #83
Just read my post Catch2.2 Mar 2020 #99
"Unifying" is a moot complaint at this point. Either you're with the Democrats, or you're with Trump LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #70
So you think Catch2.2 Mar 2020 #79
The poster did not say that at all. MineralMan Mar 2020 #86
No, I'm saying that anyone who doesn't vote for the Democratic nominee is for Trump LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #90

That's why I never discuss politics with family members. MineralMan Mar 2020 #87
Never. Lol LizBeth Mar 2020 #89
