Sun Feb 9, 2020, 12:28 PM
Feb 2020

However, based on history, he won't. His supporters booed John Lewis at the freaking Democratic Convention in 2016. Bernie shrugged it off. We remember. We saw it happen.

He needs to tell his supporters in no uncertain terms that behavior like that hurts his chances and to stop it RFN!

But he won't.

People at each table would bang their fists and chant at rival groups. Every Sunday we'd join together and chant the names of the cooks to come out and take their weekly bow. It was fun. But I was 12 the time. And these people want to be in charge of many vital aspects of our daily lives? Not going to happen.
