    I didn't say it was a personal attack, it was personal though. When you start accusing the other poster of things, like a mind reader, you have turned your argument away from their point and onto them themselves. You aren't a mind reader, so please stop trying. Thank you.

    Take it easy.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I wasn't commenting on your mind, I was commenting on your post--that you weren't addressing a point I was making, thus you were ignoring it in your response. That's all.

    Have a nice day, too!

    God and the Devil both want to rule heaven. Do you think this makes them the same?

    I never ignored your point, your point was flawed from the start. This is fucked up.

    Im not really sure I claimed you said that all the regulations were good. Was just making the point that at least in my opinion just because a politician says they’ll fight corporations by regulating business it doesnt mean they will and in our political landscape “regulating” businesses is often done in a way that keeps the law-makers and their buddies rich.

    You quoted my post, so I thought you were responding to my assertion that Democrats have championed certain regulations on big corporations.

    He'll look right in place with up and down bars and also with stripes on his clothing. I hope he likes bugs in his food and cleaning toilets. He's gonna find love in his new digs.

    Do you seriously believe that Trump is what's best for the country moving forward, and that what the GOP did during the impeachment proceedings was righteous?

    If you say yes to either or both questions, IMO, it spells out what's wrong with our country/society.

    Ew's voting base was progressive - anti-establishment. By taking a superpac she did herself in and proved she was part of the swamp that her voting base wants to drain.
    Every politician can point to ''bad moves'' and ''smart moves''. But this superpac, along with her blunders in the debates cost her votes.

    The 18-29 turnout on super Tuesday was obviously a disappointment. Unlike you I won't attempt to spin it any other way.
    Should Biden get the nomination and the Democrats lose a second time with the same strategy.
    Maybe they then will learn from their mistakes and stop believing a ''moderate'' nominee will bring the party together like Obama did.
    Your vote is already secured for the DNC regardless of the Democratic nominee.

    Thank you for the thoughtful response.
    This is actually what I was looking for.
    An actually thought out response not a spin.
    Should Biden get the nomination. We'll see if it works.

    No doubt it cost her some votes. Whether that, or some other issue, was the primary reason for her downfall, is arguable.

    How did I 'spin it'? They didn't vote. That's simply a fact.

    You didn't see the Super Tuesday results? The party is united behind a "moderate" nominee.

    That's true. I'd vote for Bernie if I needed to. But there's no reason for me to negotiate with terrorists. If Bernie supporters withhold their votes, so be it. Apparently they withhold their votes even when they have the opportunity to vote for Bernie himself, so there's no reason to believe they'd vote for anyone else.

    So far, Biden is way out in front of Trump and things aren't looking good for Trump in the future. I don't see a chance in hell of Trump even making a race out of it. In the future, I think we should all refer to him as President Biden.

    If Michigan goes to Biden the contest is pretty much over.

    A lot of Democrats seem to just want this to end, stop arguing among themselves and get ready for November. Seems to be pushing some folks who like Sanders into Biden camp.
