112. Then why hasn't Harris refuted one word? And DINOs do not have 100% ratings from HRC and NARAL.

DINOs do not have 100% ratings from NARAL and HRC, nor are they usually endorsed by the latter.

Rhetoric 101. "I don't believe you're a racist, but..." means you're about to imply he's a racist.

Considering Harris has attacked Joe repeatedly by implying he is a racist who "worked with segregationists" during the first and second debates, I find it amusing you judge Gabbard so harshly for allegedly criticizing fellow Democrats - a charge for which you have yet to provide exact quotes in context and impeccable sources.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
