Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

    I love this “it’s not worth trying” attitude as an excuse to complain.

    Weirdly, I haven’t heard anyone who was pushing for Dean Phillips or Marianne Williamson make that claim or that complaint. Maybe because they actually did the work.

      that’s not what I said. it’s a strawman.

        Yes, I know your ‘if I don’t literally say something, any inference you make is false’ game. You played it yesterday too.

        And, of course, you’re allowed to interpret what I say however you like.

            I see. The idea that you can interpret my comment any way you like but I are not allowed to interpret any of your comments except 100% literally is intellectual honesty to you.

            Interesting.

              I explained my interpretation. you lampooned me using quotes. it’s just a matter of intellectually honest engagement.

                Wouldn’t the intellectually honest thing be to ask me what I meant rather than decide your interpretation was correct?

                  if it’s not, then you could correct it. what you did was argue with a strawman.

                    If I tell you why your interpretation was wrong, will you agree to believe me?
