27. I think you took one line out of a thoughtful if not entirely correct comment and grievance shopped?

You’re certainly welcome to focus on the one point where Bluetus isn’t technically correct. Why is this one line so important to you? Is it because you want to fallaciously assert if a person is wrong about one thing in a statement, they are wrong about everything in the statement? I’m guessing your issue has more to do with protecting the status quo in the Democratic Party than any issues about endorsements. Why not just argue for that?
