Maybe, if things are as bad as you report, the Democrats will stop doing what you are doing here. Tulsi G. is not a "Russian" agent. It is puerile and unhelpful to suggest such a thing. You get that from possibly one of the most despicable people on earth, Hillary Clinton. If Hillary Clinton and the Democrat party had not undermined Sanders Trump would not have won in 2016 and he would not have been able to appoint three people to the Supreme Court. Stop gaslighting people, offer something other than 'we are not Trump' and maybe people will ask your people to represent them.

Ken, Fourth sentence in your post requires comma after introductory adverbial clause. Introducing the condition with the blame as so stated regarding 3 SCOTUS appointees to create cause and effect does not hold.

It's the 5th sentence. Maybe you should proofread yourself. To make your point more clear, your second sentence should be worded in two sentences or try two complete thoughts, sentences, joined with a conjunction. Correct use of sentence formation will get your point across. As your second sentence stands, you should at least add commas.

Kim, YouтАЩre right. The 5th sentence is the one I had in mind for comment. And your usage point(s) about my structure of sentence would better serve. Good eye. Although I chose not the comma route with my structure as like Gertrude Stein IтАЩm a bit comma averse and more inclined to dashes. Still. Nothing thrills me as much as sentence structure talking points. The original writerтАЩs attempt to create a cause and effect between a Bernie loss and the 3 SCOTUS picks struck me as worth a comment; a most unstable relationship poorly drawn. (My use of ; in previous sentence, more for effect as I realize the ; does not join 2 independent clauses. I took a liberty here).

Yes, I left commas out of the 5th sentence. Your comment, while correct, suggests to me that you are a bit anal. Do you disagree that Clinton, Wasserman Schultz, and the dem party undermined Sanders? If so, stick to punctuation criticisms, you appear qualified to do that. If you agree that this was done( Clinton cheating) how can you not agree that this resulted in Trump winning, allowing him to choose three Supreme Court judges. Does punctuation always count?

I have no idea what Kim is talking about. Both the second and third sentences in my comment are very short sentences. I kind of feel sorry for you both.

I didn't say she's a Russian agent. I said she's a Russian dupe, which she is. She spouts Russian talking points and has been criticized by people from both parties for doing it.

Not helpful- how many people are Zionist dupes which is far worse with no mention

Hillary Clinton said that in the context of American politics, Gabbard and Jill Stein were Russian _assets_ (or dupes, as Thomas puts it) not that Gabbard was directly working for the Russians, although I would not be surprised if she has been in direct contact with them. Tulsi is one of the most bizarre persons on the American political scene today.

Man, you guys are really grasping at straws. I have no interest in having Trump as president, but the Democrats have proven themselves to be despicable and unworthy of anyone's trust.
