I can't help noticing for every OP complaining about busing as a discussion issue, there seems

to be two OPs talking about Harris’ position on busing - and that more often than not, the complaints and the “Harris on busing” OPs are all coming from the same people.

It’s breathtaking how many here seem to falling for and are even (unwittingly, I’m sure) promoting the ratfucking.

C’mon people! Wake up. You’re being played!

I added a sarcasm smiley.

But it's nothing to laugh about. I think that what they did was the best thing they could think of at the time.

you call everything "RF" that you don't like, doesn't mean it is.

The "same people" are good at what they do.. and you calling them out as "RF" is just an ugly insult.. that's all.

Or do you think someone’s playing dirty tricks in this campaign, but just not with THIS issue, which is free and clear of any interference?

One little dust up between two contenders in a debate a week ago. Candidates who generally agree with each other and with us on most every issue. If we are wringing our hands weeks later every time one candidate goes after another one on something we'll be all puddles in a few months.

She's the only one who is in favor of forced busing in the 21st century. She wants to go back in time. And she's the one who made it an election issue.

We'll lose, if that's the Democrats' message. Americans aren't going to vote for that, IMO.

The circular discussion about busing has turned into a discussion about the discussion.

There has to be some internet law at play here... it’s not really a jump the shark moment. But it feels like it could be in the same milieu.
