58. I'm not the one being negative.

Why are you so negative? I'm wrong and wrong-headed for KNOWING who I know?

I'm not the one being negative. I'm not the one who's boasting about knowing absolutely nobody who supports Biden. Clearly this tidbit of info from you is being offered-up as some sort of justification for the continued negativity and cheap-shots.

Anything specific is exploitable now. Any specific criticism is now a potential right-wing attack. I'm trying to encourage those who find him disappointing to vote for him.

Oh, please! GMAFB! I'm not stupid you know.

I won't post anti-biden specifics any more.

All of these things are just "clever" ways to make nonspecific references to whatever negatives you believe he has and continually refer to all the other assorted smears and accusations. Everyone can see that it's an effort to keep them at the forefront, and to remind others of them as well.

All I'm saying here is this: You don't have to be specific... the "hints" and "winks" are good enough. Everyone knows what you're talking about. This is a dangerous game. Caution... thin-ice ahead.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
