I think that’s a really bad take.

You think Pete is just an opportunist?

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2019/10/21/beware-pete-buttigieg-sharp-corporate-tool

I’m just going to go ahead and not believe the communist on this one. No offense you can have your beliefs, but I’m not coming along for your ride.

The article is by a Democrat....

If only Bernie was a Democrat. 

yes, thos. every winning race that man has won was as an independent. his first membership in a democratic socialist party  to this day has not won a national seat and only a few state seats.

he appoarently started as acn independent then was regidtered member of DS partu for 7 years then flipped back to I.

Registered D for the sole purpose of running for President. Hijacking party apparatus  to avoid having to do the hard work of getting on ballot in every state.

THAT is opportunist....

That would be correct sir and my point. There is no bigger opportunist then Bernie. 

Realist =/= opportunist

But I think a discussion on the subject with a "proud to vote Trump instead of Sanders" supporter is a non-starter. So no point in going there.

Quoting its customarily used to document what a person explicitly said.

I don't think he understands how to use quotes correctly.    I can't recall ever saying "proud to vote Trump instead of Sanders".  Seems like someone likes to add in some words to fit their own narrative.  

Now McGruff - please point to where I "were pissed at Eddie for taking a private jet, ", quoting you verbatim. ?

Seems like someone likes to add in some words to fit their own narrative.  

I was just sarcastically replying to your dumb senseless post. 
Even so you didn't use quotes correctly.  

You re this big environmental guy: are you ok with people like Bernie, Elizabeth and Ed
Using private jets to get around?

I don't see how my post was "dumb" or "senseless". 
And I don't see this sarcasm you speak of in yours. 

And I used quote marks, or bunnyears if the term suits you better, in a very valid and correct way. I used it to make the describing term I used to make my point, easily and plainly seen in text to get through the sentence easier. 

Examples of this:

- Man, Paul "Hotter than a midday sun" Stanley sure was on fire at tonights concert.
- Turns out the "SEGA or nothing" fans of the 90s are all playing the Nintendo Switch nowadays. 
- Bernie "winning this thing for sure" Sanders really is the man. And also a mans man.

Does that mean that @mrussel1 also were wrong in implying I had used it wrong? Yes he was. And then you jumped in. Two wrongs does not make a right though.

But when asked for a source by mrussel1 I gave him one. Which showed the basis of this condensation, summarized description.

If you are looking for using quote marks for exact quotes, or maybe even some old university standard for making references with footnotes, than you are not looking at a context in which that is suitable. 

But just like diverting to a discussion on the proper use of quote marks instead of the heart of the matter - you are also diverting from answering my question: please point to where I "were pissed at Eddie for taking a private jet, ", quoting you verbatim?

You re this big environmental guy: are you ok with people like Bernie, Elizabeth and Ed using private jets to get around?

"Please provide ex post facto evidence for my claim. Thanks."

When you vote for Sanders, keep in mind, this is who trumpers want you to vote for.

Do you think Trump supporters are generally right about things?

Ummm...what a weird question cause I'm talking 1 specific issue.  For comparison, I think you are generally wrong about a lot of things but that doesn't mean you won't be right at some point.

So you are saying these Trump supporters you speak of on 1 specific issue -- this one for example - can be correct then.

They are going to paint Sanders as a socialist. This is not Canada. This is not Europe. They are extremely confident in their strategy 

To make it even worse for Democrats, as been pointed out plenty, sanders is not even a Democrat, so he will even lose some votes from his own "party." November is a train wreck waiting to happen.

Trump was an outsider but he was smart enough to know to go all in with what the insiders wanted in order to win 

Tge only way dems win in this country is to have a young charismatic candidate 

Have you seen any?

Buttigieg was up 1.8% at the initial release. It was neck and neck then, it's neck and neck now. Some of these Bernie people need to go for a brisk walk or something. 

They are insane complainers about the media and fake news.  Where have I seen this before?

They never accept the results of an election unless they win...hmmmm.....

Ah, the old centrist chestnut: everyone who disagrees with me is the same!!
