    How did 'holic manage to derail this thread without ever posting in it?

    He started attacking @The Cat on twitter because he expressed happiness that his good friend Lizzie had won.

    The BobbyTheGreat police should round up that asscheese next.

    It's really not a big deal. For the record, when I said "my friend" on Twitter, I didn't know Lizzie's name 18 months ago, and I highly doubt she knew mine. It isn't like we have some deep or long history. I've come to know Lizzie through work I've done with her (and the campaign) the last few months, and based on my experience, I think she's an awesome and caring person. And IMO, when possible, it's always best for politicians to be defined as people, rather than by their alleged platforms. Some of them actually do legitimately care about us. So, as someone that has met and talked with Lizzie a few times, I was first and foremost thrilled for her success as a great human being. To me, that should come before partisan politics, and that's all I was trying to highlight with the "friend" reference.

    Anyway, based on me using the term "friend," holic accused me of not doing homework on my vote (which is laughable, I studied every candidate in the Dem primary going back to the summer of 2017 and actually sat in on meet and greets with multiple candidates in the field). The whole conversation sorta spiraled from there. I said I didn't want to discuss it on Twitter, but that I'd explain it more via DM if he actually cared that much. I did so, and my explanation (which isn't owed to him, or anyone for that matter) didn't satisfy him.

    At this point, it's not worth the drama. We don't have to agree. I'm happy Lizzie won, I think she's going to be a great rep for us, and let's leave it at that.

    Thanks for sharing, Ben. I think we can all agree that @basketballholic is a #COWARD

    What’s to be expected from someone who says he’s quitting the BBS due to a bet only to come back under a different account.

    When will we learn? We can't trust voters like @basketballholic to get it right. Human error too big.

    We need to institute robo-voters who will always make the right call.

    Is jopat the same as holic? That explains a lot of things. What horrible personalities. Surely these people have oppositional defiant disorder or some other mild form of Asperger's where they can never perceive others' feelings and just create pointless arguments out of nothing. I feel bad for whichever unsuspecting females they trap in their alternate realities. Once that happens it's Tammy Wynette time: tears, fears, a gun underneath the bed, and a down-the-ballot stamp for the Republicans.

    @basketballholic could you please explain why you dislike Lizzie? I’m curious because you live in Oklahoma... also who are your sauces in Oklahoma? Thank you son.
