This argument is strikingly like saying David Hogg “wasn’t in the room” or other situations. Hard to describe someone else’s emotions and discounting them like this seems unimportant and unnecessary

It’s like everyone forgot who Donald Trump is and what he believes in, I feel like I’m going insane
I was gonna vote for Biden in November -- for labor and also obviously to keep Trump out of office -- but after tonight...
Man, I don't know.

3) isn’t strategy, it’s voter suppression. Don’t allow pundit brain to let you admire a “savvy political move” when it’s actually an authoritarian tactic to keep one party rule that shouldn’t happen in the US

Although I’m upset that they would endorse her, I hate the principle of not giving members intellectual freedom. In general, Being scared of endorsing someone other than the part my nominee is a bad precedent

I disagree. Its garbage to assume “both-sidesism” here when republicans have shown themselves more partisan on every issue. CA,most effective place for dems to gerrymander,has independent commission. Also, I think most dems agree Illinois and Maryland r as bad as gop gerrymanders

Bush campaigned for republicans LAST YEAR! Nothing has changed, this is the same exact party that existed previously, all the racism was there in the past. I’m so sick of this fake sentimental crap about “old republicans”

She just has no message or vision. Her whole “platform” has been simply trying to get as many viral one liners in debates and hearings as possible.Her actual articulated plans are horrendous and her policy team always manages to outdo themselves in how poorly thought out they are

Comparing Joe Biden to Hitler and Bin Laden is nuts lol
You portray me as an extremist in your piece. Here's a question: what's so extreme about being happy if a genocidal maniac dies?
Would you have been happy to hear the news of Hitler dying in 1945? Or Bin Laden in 2011?
If you say yes, then you're an extremist, apparently.

He committed perjury, a felony, and is someone who should be a vanguard of the law in the US, not an enemy of it. He must be impeached.
