2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: 500+ at multicultural Bernie event in San Diego [View all]senz
(11,945 posts)307. This comment is like a jewel, several facets, all of them brilliant.
I've been reading this hideous, endlessly repetitive thread, hoping that something would "give," and have now learned more than I'd ever want to know about certain HRC supporters. You guys have a lot of patience.
But this comment, artislife, along with bmus' stream of clever, pointed, arch remarks, made it worth it.
I really love "the great -- Unchange" and "I want off this ride, it sucks." I hope to see them again some day in a wider venue.
