Steve: I so agree with what you wrote.
Arthur: Forgive the lengthy comment I've written below, but I'm disturbed by these attacks on ABC slate members.

Nick,
It does feel like you, and some others you've aligned with, have been attacking ABC while leaning on Arthur's hard work to assist your ARISE campaign.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe I've ever seen you, or any other leading ARISE slate member, write a comment (or even indicate a like) showing you've appreciated any of his infor…
Why are you advertising your slate on an ABC candidate’s blog? Do you see ABC supporters commenting on ARISE pages? (rhetorical question, the answer is obviously no)
Why don’t you stop piggybacking off of Arthur’s hard work and focus on your own organizing? All I see ARISE doing is commenting on and attacking ABC. You guys had multiple chances to run with us and decided to play games. Run your race and we’ll run ours and let’s see who comes out on top.
Of course you will, Nick. Thank you for the attacks on my friends, and thank you for feigning confusion. It's all quite respectful, as is your trolling me on Facebook. How many times have I come to your page and treated you like this? Never, because I don't do that.

I understand, though, as you pointed out on Facebook, th…
Being expelled from Unity for running with A Better Contract is like being on the Titanic and getting ordered into a lifeboat. Michael Mulgrew has almost single-handedly destroyed the caucus, and I’ve literally lost count of the number of people from Unity who have reached out with private words of encouragement.
I was there. Mulgrew read the room and knew he didn’t have the votes. The Delegate Assembly is in danger of actually becoming a deliberative body. 😱
