    In the same comment I just quoted, you said you hadn’t read the article yet. Your problem couldn’t have been with something you hadn’t read yet.

      Correct. I was confident enough of what was in it based on a bunch of these stories that I’ve read, to predict.

      You can say that’s unfair, which I guess is legitimate, but I was right. Once we started getting into details I read the article and it contains exactly what I thought it contained.

        Or you were just being consistent with party messaging and decided to retcon it when confronted.

        As I said earlier, I will not expect honesty from you ever again.

          Some time back I compared the Biden State Dept to the Nazis; just today I posted an article from Ralph Nader which was the good-faith and productive version of what “the Democrats don’t deserve our vote” is the not-sensible version of. (Basically, the Democrats need to listen better, and move to the left, otherwise they’re going to keep losing and they deserve to)

          You’re free to think whatever you want, but I think you’re much more engaged in putting me in a particular box than any substantive discussion. We don’t actually disagree, as far as I can tell, on this factually at all. All these words have just been spent on you trying to put me into a particular box which isn’t accurate. I honestly don’t know exactly why you’re doing that, but all good.
