As long as the Democrats are Democrats, I don't mind being taken for granted. Nothing would require the word "do" in your respond, as do is an active verb.

- "If they turn Blue Dog/Republican lite, they can kiss my ass" - again, using the verb do wouldn't work here because it is awkward an stilted English.

- "If I wanted Republicans, I'd vote Republican" - this is the only sentence where you can use the word "do" in a response.

I have seen you do this to many people here. You flamebait, instigate and gaslight them with passive-aggressive statement, then walk away says "I said nothing." That is PA cyber-bullying and you have done it many, many times.

I refuse to get into this game with you because I don't know you and am not going to waste my bandwidth or emotional energy on a gaslighter. I will just bid you a nice life and block you permanently.
