In reply to the discussion: Biden says Trump is America's first 'racist' president [View all]thesquanderer
(11,989 posts)55. I did not call you a name.
You're awfully presumtuous to tell me what I "know perfectly well."
Please don't call me names. I haven't called you names. Why do you feel entitled to do that to me?
I know of no such "ongoing chorus." I have not seen the other threads you are talking about.
So, if you haven't seen it, therefore it must not exist, eh?
I didn't say that if I didn't see something, it does not exist. But you were trying to make a point by saying I would "know perfectly well that...{my} post is part of the ongoing chorus"... you seemed to be seeing my post in a context of such other posts, assuming I was aware of them, so I was explaining that your premise was false, and that in fact I was not aware of any such chorus. (I did not deny it exists, but even now, I am only taking your word that it does, since, as I said, I have not seen it.)
I fail to understand why anyone would think that their "valid perspective" and negativity is more important than defeating Trump.
I do not think my post in any way made it harder to defeat Trump. You may disagree, that's your right.
There's really no need for anyone to be so emotionally invested in any one candidate.
I never was. I changed my "who would you vote for if the primary were held today" multiple times, and contributed to four candidates. I absolutely support Biden. But I'm not going to say I thought he was our best candidate. If all you want to read are the comments of cheerleaders, consider sticking with the Biden 2020 group, that's what it's for.

That's the biggest hole in my record collection. I never owned a copy of "Pet Sounds."

Joe misspoke. The truth that MF45 is America's most racist president in 100 years needs to be told.

It's probably the same as you would have felt if some of the other candidates had won.

I think that now is the time for mature adults to set aside their hurt feelings.

I didn't start the thread. Others complained about Biden's sloppy point here...

Why contribute to the negativity? Why keep expressing doubts and misgivings?

Exactly. I am sure he is referring to recent presidents, but regardless, the point is he is calling
