16. Bass taken out WAAAY too easily? Where're the clear eyes

Mon Aug 3, 2020, 02:46 PM

Aug 2020

and enough guts to spit at the insults to our intelligence and character? Two things Bass said long ago, that aren't even particularly bad in context, are the best they can come up with? For god's sake, at least a third of the people here had Bernie Sanders (!) as second or first for president* just a few months ago, and he not only spent years praising Cuba's communist revolution but just did again the other day. (*Caveat: Never me, but that's not the point.)

Harris is out also if that's all it takes, don't you know that? Gone looong ago!

And most of the others.

Come to think of it, any of the candidates NOT?
