Voted Sanders in NC last March and toasted last night to Bartcop whose loyalty was always with HRC.

[blm]

I wanted to find a silver lining and found two pretty damned good ones. A shattered glass ceiling and Bartcop's joy of purpose and spirit that he extended consistently in support to Democrats and TeamClinton.

Pretty sure that many of the old-time Bartcoppers here at DU will join me in that toast.

My love and respect to all of you. Cheers.

1. The only good thing to come of it.

I never understood his fascination but there had to be a good reason. Bartcop would have had a field day with this primary race. He missed some fireworks! Hugs and love. Cheers.

3. I knew you'd understand this post.

2. Damn it

He brought me so much joy during the Bush years. I know 2008 was tough for him as it was quite the ugly primary as well with subscribers turning against him.
What a shame. Good guy with a big heart. I wish he could have experienced today and also November.

4. Yeah - I had a few mixups with him, myself. But, I NEVER disrespected his motivations.

Couldn't even imagine in a million years smearing him as a DINO or a corporatist based on his primary preference.

13. Yes….I miss them all, and those who I am certain would've voted for

Sanders.

Heh…we've been here long enough to see that, haven't we?

6. Very nice.

7. Bartcop lost me in 2004.

I went through two weeks of his blog. If you ignored the cartoons, he posted more anti-Kerry comments than he did anti-Bush comments each and every day. His anti-Kerry stuff was clearly of the criticism "he should be doing this, not that" variety. But he couldn't manage more anti-Bush stuff on one single day.

And when I sent him an analysis on that, he just denied it. Didn't even give it a thought.

Bartcop pretty much never met a Democrat he didn't hate except for the Clintons. I find there are a lot of Democrats like that.


On edit: that's not to mean I disliked Bartcop. I was just disappointed.

9. That was my issue, too, as a longtime Kerry supporter.

Even then, I was angrier than a hornet towards Bartcop, but, never AT him, if you get my drift. ; )

8. ¡Salud!

To Bartcop! To a Democratic Future!



Keep wielding that hammer, blm!

10. That's our bottom line, eh Octafish?

At the end of the day - stopping Republicans from wielding the power of the Oval Office is our only chance for a greater good in this world.

11. Of course BLM, you've always been a class act.

Here's to you and Hillary

12. will always love ya, oasis…..

longtime bonds for some of us here….bonded for good, and, for those we've lost, even death will not part us.
