I'm pretty confident that nothing short of the use of the n-word registers as racist with Red.    And that doesn't mean that I believe Red to be a racist.
Well, thanks.
Then you must agree that using racism ,which  did not happen, to libel a family deserves financial
punishment.
And how is being pro-life racist?
Are you suggesting there would be no pro-life movement if most babies aborted were white?
I was around in the days before Roe and blacks were most vocal in opposing abortions. Led by Jesse Jackson who said he feared the guys in the white coats more than the ones in the blue coats.
You seem to have problems with the phrase, "akin to". You may want to look that up.
LOL
Ah. Nice dodge. You have no response to having your deliberate misrepresentation of Gillibrand's comments pointed out to you. Behave as expected.

The "insult" was pointing out that the New York senator did not call pro-lifers racist and that you read it incorrectly. Behave as expected.

I didn’t misrepresent anything.
You simply ignored Gillabrand’s posturing.

She most certainly did.
But it is easier for you to deny she meant it instead of admitting they are not.

He’s looking at low and sinking approval, a trillion dollar deficit for the first time ever, an economic slump to campaign through, baby cage installations spreading around the country, the impending exposure of his bribe taking and money laundering, and a lengthy prison sentence once he’s booted from office.

He’ll take any help he can get.

The Canadian government loses a suit for violation of an 1877 treaty by its having posted inappropriate boundaries. 160 square miles too small.

They could appeal though the Blood Tribe hopes given the history involved that it won't. Bets?

Next is a hearing on compensation, as the court refused to give the land the Tribe requested to it.

I really dont think any of you are behind Biden so point is moot here.  I think you will be working to present another candidate
I'm "behind" anybody who can beat Trump.

While I wouldn’t endorse it as the message for any one candidate (see Warren slowly moving up the polling on the basis of strong policy proposals) you cant deny that this will be THE dynamic of 2020, and why a relative little known candidate with zero cable presence like Corey Booker can beat Trump by five points in a national head-to-head poll right now.
Yep.  And if I can add another cliché to the mix, Democrats can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good (or even the "okay") in the general election.   I thought HRC was a mediocre candidate (not because I disagreed with her policies, but because she has never been good at defining herself),  and while that didn't stop me for voting for her, I believe, unfortunately, that the perceived mediocrity stopped a goodly amount of people from doing the same..

Clinton was, as we’ve said before, a perfect candidate for President who was terrible at being a candidate for President.  Everything she told America about Trump was true, that he was dangerously unqualified, ignorant and incurious about policy, and inappropriately beholden to Russian interests.  But she lacked the fire and inspiration to get people to listen.  Now Americans have had two and a half years of a Trump Administration and that message has gotten through.  Which is another reason why kiidcarter8’s argument of “look at how much ground Trump made up in 2016” doesn’t hold up.  The con job Trump implemented can’t work four years later because Americans know now who he is, what kind of President he would be.  If the Rasmussen polling was right, this wouldn’t be a big problem for him going in to 2020.

It isn’t.

The kind of PRESIDENT Trump is is offsetting the kind of PERSON he is - and this is why he has a chance at re-election.
