but I appear to be blocked somewhere (not by you obviously). I find I frequently can't respond to people I've never heard of or engaged with, which kind of limits discussion

it is a great thing!

People post nonsense.
Let them talk They're doing fine at sinking Bernie quickly. Bernie's supporters just couldn't calm down and be rational and accept their loss. They are now unwittingly shooting themselves in the foot.

The Democratic party does not need the this tiny fraction of loud and arrogant vile supporters and, imho, if they embrace them it will be used as a bludgeon against Democrats by both the GOP and the Democrats who don't like an Independent who hates the party to come in and try a hostile take over of the party.

I think she's been very smart, staying in the background while the Bird and the Fingerman try to show how angry they (and their supporters) both are.

Let em talk... let em talk

I love Obama's grandma. She's one sharp gal.

from Howard U speech 2016
" There's been a trend around the country of trying to get colleges to disinvite speakers with a different point of view, or disrupt a politician’s rally. Don’t do that -- no matter how ridiculous or offensive you might find the things that come out of their mouths. Because as my grandmother used to tell me, every time a fool speaks, they are just advertising their own ignorance. Let them talk. Let them talk. If you don’t, you just make them a victim, and then they can avoid accountability.

how she's not being humble and that she's arrogant. GMAFB, if a man said these things, there would be high-fives all around.

There seems to be a trend of BSers with a problem with my username.

Not sure what they think they are going to do.

They can't/won't accept the fact that she has more votes, more pledged delegates and more super delegates. All they have left is anger and bitterness. I won't argue with them any more.
