You say that as if it helps your argument. You are basically admitting that you are perpetuating a lie on purpose.

I simply have no desire to argue semantics with you. All the articles take the same position I do.

This isn't arguing semantics, By saying you take the same position as the article, then you are purposefully lying just as they are.

Its not hard to understand the difference between someone saying an entity should not endorse(put money and infrastructure behind and individual) vs saying individuals can not endorse.

pretending they are the same thing is being intellectually dishonest.

You can call it semantics all you want.

When he speaks, he speaks as chairman of the DNC. Too many do not trust that there is no money changing hands either.

SO THEN ARGUE THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't pretend him endorsing is the same as the DNC doing it, say you don't believe he is genuine when he says the DNC itself will stay out.

It shouldn't have been that hard for you to say that from the beginning instead of falsely equating the 2.

If Perez was not the Chairman of the DNC his endorsement would be worth diddly. You can argue that everyone else is wrong except you if you want. In the end it really matters not. The damage has been done.

The truth always matter, not matter how many people spread a lie.


either you are arguing that the DNC head's endorsement carries weight, and therefore he shouldn't do it( which I don't even disagree with you there)

or you are trying to argue that Perez said he would never endorse, in which case you are lying.


You could make a well intentioned argument about the weight of the head of the DNC'S endorsement without lying just because you don't like him.

Perez's endorsement broke from his repeated pledge not to pick favorites in the party's primary races.

His pledge was that the DNC would not pick favorites, not himself.

you keep trying to pretend there isn't a difference but there is.

You understand that Atlanta having a 24% poverty rate doesn't change the fact that Calhoun County Georgia has a poverty rate of 38% right ? The debate is not whether or not there is poverty in cities( every city has poverty), but rather if it was higher in rural areas vs the city.

look , I get it, it hurts for you to admit you are wrong. But his is just sad.
