The one about fighting the last primary seems to be at odds with much of the current discussion of Bernie Sanders. That seems to come up a lot.

I guess we just do our best.

Those seem more related to the general election, not the primary.

For a while I was called to serve several times a day. Since I am relatively new here I wondered if that was "normal".

A lot of my jury duty is when someone criticizes Sanders.

I bet this thread will get altered on. My post probably will to.

...it takes a lot for me to hide a post. And saying that someone blatantly violated a rule--or vice versa--forces me to explore their motivation, which I don't think I've ever clicked on. So generally, I prefer to err on the side of free speech.
