Are you saying Biden supporters are closing their minds to the facts? LonePirate Jan 2020 #16

Everyone knows Biden voted for the war...and? It was 20 years ago and here's the thing...it is not Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #47

Facts? Dem4Life1102 Jan 2020 #57

lol, facts of decades ago do you mean vs last 20 years? Last 10 years? beachbumbob Jan 2020 #78

I think she understands that very well AND it's both Hortensis Jan 2020 #39

Palin could and did run for governor...there is not way AOC will win a governor's race in New York. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #51

Sanders voted for Afghanistan and for regime change in Iraq...Damn I really used to like her, Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #2

Sanders voted AGAINST the use of force in Iraq. Let's at least be accurate here. James48 Jan 2020 #23

He voted for regime change in Iraq so his hands are not clean on this...one Democrat voted against Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #54

Let's be accurate?? This thread is nothing more than doctored videos and distortion!! Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #61

All that has already been distributed by Sirota and BrieBrie and dismissed as false or exaggerated.. George II Jan 2020 #3

I don't think his apology was ever intended to trickle down to them padah513 Jan 2020 #14

In fact Sirota and BrieBrie have intensified the attacks; this is a new entry into the attack pack. George II Jan 2020 #17

we will call this the "boomerang effect" lapfog_1 Jan 2020 #40

This is true, Democrats have no patience for these kinds of attacks in this go round. nt UniteFightBack Jan 2020 #103

You beat me to it PatSeg Jan 2020 #88

Has she figured out who Al Gore is yet? R B Garr Jan 2020 #5

Inasmuch as the House won't be in session until next week, one would think she'd be busy.... George II Jan 2020 #8

Right, I don't understand why some folks run as if R B Garr Jan 2020 #27

All the Bernie surrogates are desperate. MrsCoffee Jan 2020 #7

Will they pledge to vote for the nominee, though? question everything Jan 2020 #11

I wonder if AOC... Mike Nelson Jan 2020 #9

+1000! Facts are such a pesky thing! JoeOtterbein Jan 2020 #10

Yes they are, but not as pesky as false accusations, as we've seen recently. George II Jan 2020 #19

Yes facts are such pesky little things... there's nothing factual in the OP Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #63

Sometimes you need to read a little deeper, like click the links. JudyM Jan 2020 #86

I don't understand why some people think ONLY the internet exists and can't be bothered to fact highplainsdem Jan 2020 #12

Right, and Tweets are not facts. See Trump for proof R B Garr Jan 2020 #15

For the most part a member of congress' constituents don't contact the congressperson.... George II Jan 2020 #22

.. m-lekktor Jan 2020 #20

Yes it's desperate for sanders to use his own words against himself!! Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #64

But it's all doctored. Yet no one seems to be able to put up the "undoctored" videos where Nanjeanne Jan 2020 #82

I think other things are desperate too. nt UniteFightBack Jan 2020 #104

AOC has a little over 6 million twitter followers so this was viewed by a few people for sure. nt m-lekktor Jan 2020 #18

That's interesting, she only has about 700K constituents (including infants and children)... George II Jan 2020 #25

Those followers are looking at her to make fun of her,she speaks out too much. virgogal Jan 2020 #29

What do you consider too much? What has she said that you feel is too much? Perseus Jan 2020 #46

It makes you wonder if we can post some little R B Garr Jan 2020 #31

Oh I see.. cause she has a biggg twitter following, that makes what she says okay?? Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #65

Well she best move to that twitter district because she is not going to last here in NY. nt UniteFightBack Jan 2020 #105

This is not helpful, AOC mcar Jan 2020 #21

Some of us see facts and truth as being very helpful. Autumn Jan 2020 #24

Sadly much of what was posted on twitter (and reproduced in the OP) are not "facts" or "truth". George II Jan 2020 #28

So you keep saying George. Some of us actually remember details so spin and parsing doesn't sway us Autumn Jan 2020 #30

So why did Sanders half-heartedly apologize the other day, Autumn? George II Jan 2020 #36

He was being polite George? I personally think he shouldn't have but that was his choice . Autumn Jan 2020 #38

How about he was WRONG. nt UniteFightBack Jan 2020 #106

You may think he was wrong. Others don't share your opinion. nt Autumn Jan 2020 #112

That had nothing to do with any of these facts presented here melman Jan 2020 #50

I know, there were very few facts in AOC's barrage of tweets. And she's paying for it on twitter. George II Jan 2020 #80

Go on George, speak your truth. I'll speak mine. Autumn Jan 2020 #55

Again... they aren't factual!! Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #69

What's posted isn't facts!! Think again Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #67

I see them as fact, you don't and that does nothing to change my point of view. I don't have to Autumn Jan 2020 #70

It's more like hateful. nt UniteFightBack Jan 2020 #102
