Happy to see McBride being supported, but where was that support for Al Green?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

Ahhh yes. When good isn't good enough. Race ya to the bottom again.

I donated to Green after getting adds from reps not willing to fuck shit up.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 40 points 2 days ago

Sigh, this party sometimes.

~~Was he on this committee? I have not seen a list of names.~~

I misread a preposition, from instead of for.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Irrelevant.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What you want him to bust into the committee like the koolaid man?

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So Al Green can only expect support from his own party if he's on certain committees?

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Sorry, I misread your comment as you were asking where the support FROM Al Green was, not for him.

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I think nokturne might have read "from Al Green". I did at first

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You are correct… I did read from. Whoops.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Ah no biggie, you did come off as someone with a bit different way of thinking.

Thanks for clarifying

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but that's not the point.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have already twice admitted to having misread a preposition in the comment, I read from rather than for.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Oh, I wasn't trying to rag on you. I just liked the image you put in my head.
