(1,076 posts)you're going to get people challenging that. What you consider positive, isn't necessarily so.
Don't want people to challenge assertions or all the rest?
Make sure that what you're posting is accurate, honest, and doesn't come across in a way that is rude or dismissive to the other side.
Because, I've rarely seen BSers post positive things. I see a lot of what this thread is--Whining that everyone is being so mean to BS or a poor, beleaguered BSer, and zero concrete examples to support that claim. I see too many occasions of BSers arguing from emotion, and not fact. I see a lot of wild assertions about BS's supposed accomplishments or influence that people can sincerely disagree with (and have evidence to debunk said claim). I see BSers labeling any criticism of BS or his supporters as "attacks." I see open or passive-aggressive bashing of Biden, the DNC, Democrats of all kinds and the voters who didn't agree with BS and his "ideas." I see a lot of them crying because other Democrats want BS to concede a race he can no longer win. I see lots of BSers who think they and BS are owed something for their losing campaign, and that they can demand to get whatever they want without giving anything in return from Biden and the majority of people who voted for him, rather than having the grace and humility to accept that they lost, and be grateful for any concessions they get after that. I see BSers who threaten to take their toys and go home if they don't get what they want, or worst of all, do it by refusing to vote for the fairly-elected Biden. And I especially see many instances, including right in this very thread, of the false equivalence of the hateful label of "Biden Bros" hurled at Biden supporters, when it's not Biden's supporters who have a demonstrated record of being, or being manipulated and riled up by, Russian bots.
Does that list apply to all BSers? No. But it does apply to way too many of them.
So, as a famous fictional character once said, rather than looking for the mote in someone else's eye, why don't you make sure there's not a beam in your own?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
