    They did, they withheld judicial nominations during the Obama administration so that they could pack the courts with right wing judges.

    But that is a-ok, what was it you said “just "win" baby "win"”. Fitting
    The people don’t want your ideology so it must be forced on them.

    I rarely watch CNN. A clip or two once in awhile. I like Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace, but they don't mention AOC. I'm not saying she never comes up, but I don't remember her. She's certainly not this all powerful woman Trump paints her up to be.

    Sorry? Does Trump stick her on TV every time she opens her mouth? Did Trump put her and the squad on Magazine covers and does he write constant articles about her? Did Trump put that clueless, talentless unqualified ditz leading the Green New Deal?

    So clueless.

    Except Trump doesn't think she's all powerful, mainly like most if us he thinks she's an idiot who is given far too much credit by The media. Especially when she first came in the scene.

    yes they did. It was a radical right wing 1%ers theocratic agenda and republican fatcats and corporatists found a cozy nest.

    See, I can play that game too. You aren't the only one who can throw some cheap labels around to demonize people and what they believe.

    Wake up. I just take the group name, and attach labels like you did. Instead of communist, I chose corporatist. Instead of radical I chose fatcat. I don't have define the terms, or provide any credibility to the claims. I learned the tactic from you. Its ludicrous and insulting to thinking adults, but I just moved the words right in there anyway.

    Sleazy, but easy.

    I think you should knock it off .

    If I wanted to learn from you, I would respond in kind with puerile and juvenile, personal insults but I wont. I'm not better than you but i'm better than that. Think about that. Put that in your 'knock it off' pipe and smoke it

    Huh? I’m a little lost. Do you think Biden supports Citizens United? The Koch engineered, Republican Party, Robert’s court assault on our campaign finance system?

    Well, Biden’s supported a constitutional amendment for a decade to overturn that ridiculous ruling. He supported McCain-Feingold. He’s introduced his own legislation. He’s supported public financing initiatives. He’s been one of the lone voices on the front for decades. Obviously you haven’t done much research on the guy.

    Get these two GA. Senate seats and we’ve got a chance. With the Presidency and the House currently McConnell is the biggest obstacle to reform.

    Read Biden’s speech on the campaign finance from 1997 (Senate floor speech).

    Campaign finance reform as in McCain-Feingold was an incumbent protection scam pure and simple. Not surprised Joe would like it. Sorry but almost all incumbents have been misstating the impact of Citizens United for a decade.
    Biden's always been a corporate whore. And the Koch brothers are small potatoes compared to the media outlets that Biden's trying to protect from competition.

    Read it again. I did not insult you. I insulted what you wrote and that tactic you employed in your post. And I certainly insulted the result on readers. Matter of fact, I would not have bothered if I did not think you could be reached by my words that suggests a modicum of intelligence. You understand what you wrote and what you did.. You understand that words, especially trigger words are not infinite in their shape and scope.

    Use words and labels like 'radical' and 'communist' with care. They are not your personal toys to bend and twist apart, any more than corporatist and fatcat are, because you have to share them with others.

    Implying someone is not a "thinking adult" is certainly an insult, but twist it however you will. Have a nice day

    You are still not there. I was talking about the difference between how thinking adults would react to what you wrote as opposed to how non-thinking adults would react to what you wrote. throwing out words like 'radical' or 'communist' is a cheap parlor trick in American RW propaganda. Never said that propagandists were not thinking adults, even as they exploited the foolishness of their audience. They know exactly what they are doing.
