Another lie.   

Im not compelled in any way to read an article from a demonstrably untrusted source just because you posted it.  

Informed consumerism is a fundamental aspect of capitalism.  Why do you hate capitalism?

Your sense of entitlement to my time and attention is arrogant as hell

I'll probably invite fire from both sides on this, but the absolute worst people to talk to about "the other side" are people on the other end of the spectrum from that other side. (and yes, that goes both ways)

In terms of 2020, Biden did an effective job of consolidating a large number of groups to vote, including those on the left. But a lot of that was out of sheer pragmatism and the fact that Trump himself was an unpopular figure at the time of the 2020 election who was seen to have botched the ongoing pandemic at that time.

Biden did a lot of stuff during his term to try to placate the left, but acting like he was a creature of that wing of the D Party or that he was beloved by that wing, that's just not reality.

In the end he made more enemies than friends. I will be very curious who makes it on his pardon list by Monday.

So how did you come to a conclusion regarding the content of an article you didn’t read? Interesting.

You did express an opinion on the article. So we’ll just say your opinion was baseless. Works for me.

I see you have no answer to my question.    Another double standard, you require me to answer all of your questions but you do nothing of the sort for mine.   

Shocking.

From my perspective, it is interesting.

Do you need to try poop sammiches to conclude if you like poop sammiches?

2016 was a combination of 8 years of Democratic control of the White House, hatred of Hillary Clinton for a number of reasons (including sexism), Clinton's ineptness on the campaign trail, over confidence among the average mainline Democratic voter, and a large dose of "I hate all the candidates" (which probably played a role in 2024 as well). There are still a large group of people in this country who will not vote for a woman or a person of color.

Trump is a special circumstance. He played a role on TV that people bought into and many went no deeper than that. 

It's also just hard in this country to win three straight elections as an incumbent party..... Reagan/Bush was the exception to the rule, not the standard.

Here's one place where I'm doing exactly what I said I do and exactly not what you said I  did which of course means you lied. 

Bring it.  Bring all of it you liar.

Epic self own.   

Again, a double standard.  Rules apply to everyone but maga:

How about we all at least TRY to not make page upon page upon page of pissing contests because it’s going to be a loooooong 4 years…

… and truth be told, I’m definitely feeling too old to play schoolyard monitor.  So, stop name calling, please. 
If I were a new member (…do we even get any more of those? I think so), I’d find these kind of “tag -you’re it” smack down tirades tiresome enough to give up and leave . 
So, for all our sakes, and for our beloved message board, be better.
 

Thank you! Have an awesome weekend!

I see my name mentioned…hope people weren’t making threats again.
