60. I disagree with your statement "your tone was far from even, In fact it bordered on arrogance'


You posted "Lectures, even in the most even, convincing tones, won't be enough, and let's face it, your tone was far from even. In fact, it bordered on arrogance."

I merely shared my experiences regarding the consequences of party infighting during Presidential election campaigns, which has been shaped by my observations since Kennedy was elected.

I am unsure what 'tone' you are referring to, and where 'arrogance' enters into this I have no idea. My comments were not intended to be 'a lecture' even if you took it that way. My approach is to persuade and convince people by argument, supported by facts.

It is ok to oppose a candidate. Just bring the evidence with you if you want your argument to persuade and convince voters to adopt your position. And let's not get down in the weeds of making it personal. But if your candidate does not prevail in getting the Democratic nomination, I would hope that you would support the Democratic candidate who does get the nomination. And I would hope that candidate has not been attacked within the party to such an extent that it interferes with their ability to win the General Election.
