87. Well, no, you've been posting regularly how the NY voter purges aren't a problem

Fri Apr 22, 2016, 03:01 AM

Apr 2016

That the party switches and de-affiliations aren't a problem. That massive disenfranchisement in the entire state, affecting all the voters there, is not a problem

Allow me to explain something that seems to have eluded you. Just because Bernie supporters are talking about something, does not mandate that you immediately, unthinkingly, take the opposite viewpoint. It's possible to agree with them on the existence and pervasiveness of a problem, that it IS a problem, and that it very certainly impacted the outcome of this election (whether for or against your candidate, either way it's important) while still rolling your eyes at the idea that it's a "Clinton conspiracy."

it's what I've been doing, and gosh, you're so very certainly smarter than I am, aren't you? Go on and give it a shot.
