3. Tulsi Gabbard was running a shredder there for a while, so I had to vote for her.

Elizabeth Warren's recent stunt looms large, but it was the first time, as far as I know, that she has slammed somebody this way. There have been mention of Bernie 'supporters' saying negative things, which are probably attributable to Bernie himself. And didn't Mayor Pete go after Biden recently?

Joe Biden has been on a high road, but he can afford to be magnanimous, since he has held a steady lead.

4. I, too, voted for her but now I'm seeing that important word "surrogates" in the poll question.

I'll keep my vote the way it is, but I wish I had more carefully considered that word.

5. Good point.

I didn't notice that either.

If defined very loosely (such as the candidates' supporters), I would vote for Bernie here, because his supporters tend to be pretty zealous and always seem eager to criticize opponents, past or present.

6. Sanders, though I think it's by design.

Several people he has hired for high-level positions have a recent history of preferring a scorched-earth style, and that doesn't seem to be a coincidence. I doubt that he was unaware of what they were bringing to the campaign.

8. Primaries forum, so Dem contenders would be the assumption.

9. Trump is a primary candidate too, but I know, I am being a pain in the ass.

I just can't vote to single out any Democratic candidate when Trump's shit factory is responsible for 99% of the shit directed at the contenders.

12. When you start a post in Primaries, here's what it says:
Fri Jan 17, 2020, 02:52 PM
Jan 2020

"My post is related to the Democratic primaries. Post in:" Democratic Primaries.

Seems rather self-evident, but perhaps you disagree.

13. That's what it says when you start a dciscussion, not when you reply to a post.

I have seen tons of mentions of Trump on this forum, including some that refer to him as a nominee.

I don't know how upset you are with my mention of Trump in the context of this thread or the Primaries forum in general, but you are welcome to alert me and let the moderators decide.

Or you can address the essence of my posts: I refuse to comment on which Democratic nominee smears his competitors more than other when I see the vast majority of smears coming from Trump.
