When I was defending my president! LOL, I think you remember which post I mean Cha!

Now we see the phrase again a few days later!

Great post BTW!





You said "I will take your back". Are you an American and eligible to be a Democrat and vote?

There are people who are not eligible to be Democrats and vote because they are foreigners. Some post from Canada, England, Australia, and possibly even India and China.

Is this phrase "I will take your back" a common one in your community? You said "I will take your back". Are you an American and eligible to be a Democrat and vote?

***And Another answer to my response Both of these are from the same poster!***

A simple "yes" would do. When there are people on this board who are not eligible to be Democrats

and vote in US elections because they are foreigners in foreign countries, and when someone uses a relatively odd phrase which indicates that they might be a foreigner and ineligible to be a Democrat, it is certainly appropriate to ask the two questions that I did.


My inquiry began after you said: "I will take your back."

My two questions were:
(1) Are you an American and eligible to be a Democrat and vote?
(2) Is this phrase "I will take your back" a common one in your community?

I suggest that the questions are reasonable ones because most Americans have never heard of the phrase "I will take your back."

That phrase is not one commonly used. A Google search for the phrase shows that it is not commonly used.


Somehow I think that this is an incident where you protest too much.
