I asked for a source to a claim YOU made. It's not my job to make your arguments for you. Maybe be prepared to back up your claims and not be an asshole about it? I'm going to watch the interview, and if there's a case to be made I'm more than happy to reevaluate what I've said.
You also demanded to know which candidates were forced out, left a snitty reply when you didn't get an answer, then gave combative answers to the only two people who did bother to answer you. The retaliatory nature of the DNC isn't exactly a secret, nor is the control they try to exert over the primary process, so you could find information on this yourself. I have to assume you either haven't done any research or just don't want to know.
You know what, that's fair. I was being a bit of an asshole and I apologize. I'm listening to that Sirota/Weaver interview now, thanks for the recommendation.
We still disagree but I don't think we're enemies so there's no point in attacking each other. I'll let you know my thoughts when I finish the podcast.
I honestly looked for statements from Phillips and Williamson prior to you linking that interview. I did not think to look for his campaign manager, Phillips has been relatively quiet.
Fair enough, sorry if I was a prick too.
