In reply to the discussion: Sen. Sanders Demands FBI Investigate Whether Kavanaugh Lied to Congress [View all]bigtree
(85,984 posts)160. you have a baiting style and seem intent on projecting your own derogatory language about Sanders
...onto whatever I write. I did not use the term 'magic,' and have not said anything of the sort. This is an ugly effort by you which has continued into a second day. If you continue to bait me, you will be talking to yourself on this thread.
The 'premise of the op' is that Sanders has done this thing. I did not editorialize or interpret his demands, other than to correctly point out to you that politics is nebulous and dynamic. It feeds on the type of cynicism you're projecting here.
I don't have any interest at all in participating in this. You should find someone else to debate 'magic' with you. You took your shot, you should move on. I'm not biting.

I think Bernie was the 1st to lead the charge on this. Certainly no reason to criticize him for it.
