Was listening to David Packman on his youtube show, and that's going to be difficult to do IF many of Bernie's voters don't come out to vote this fall for Biden because they're butt-hurt that the Dem nominee for President vs tRumpvirus this Fall will be Joe Biden. I mean wow .... such sore losers some of those Bernie voters are. NOT all, but SOME.

Wait, now Moore is 'correcting' Brian Williams, saying that he's not a surrogate as Williams called him?

Look, nights like this are painful for a campaign. They need some room to regroup and think. They know next Tuesday doesn't favor them and this was their moment.

If you've never been where they, and their supporters are right now, I'm happy for you. I have and there is a definite adjustment period.

That's where I'd recommend they refocus if I were on their team, anyway.

You know what's coming down, and you need to focus on not doing more harm.

Things are truly melting down globally right now. The last thing anyone wants is to accidentally elevate Trump.

Once you see them they can't be unseen. Which applies to internet bots. That's what drew me into it initially. Then they started being banned and I was hooked.

They often appear to be using the same playbook and delivering almost identical lines and attacks. If you answer them, they just keep on going like the Energizer Bunny. Then I post cute or funny photos as a reply and they go pick on someone else. They don't like non-verbal responses, because they can't argue with them.

I've been through this in years past with Monsanto apologists. After awhile, they become so predictable. If no one takes their bait, they start talking to each other like people are really paying attention.

Yep, it is definitely cyber whack-a-mole!

A democrat is doing well, in a democrat primary only democrats can vote in, and you democrat idiots think that’s winning...bullshit logic...run Biden in the general, democrats will get trump elected.


My answer:

Excuse me, a "democrat" primary? "democrat" idiots? What would that be?
"Democrat" is a noun, not an adjective and only republicans use it that way It is meant to be a slur on Democrats and the Democratic party.
