(11,989 posts)...which prompted me to join the discussion to say, we knew this is what we were getting. This is a discussion board, and I think this was a perfectly fair and reasonable point to make without being dismissed or disrespected.
There has been no "constant moaning... and groaning... and whining... and griping... and belly-aching..." from me -- I think this may even be the first thing I've posted about Biden since he clinched the nomination.

So, no butt hurt here. That doesn't mean I can't wish things had worked out more to my liking.

Really? Is that so? Then why all the pouting

I am pretty sure that there is not one person reading my post here on Democratic Underground who is the slightest bit less likely to vote for Biden because of my post.
