35. I love how the "Old Timers" love to label "newbies" based on number of posts. Paranoia? Or just lack

of imagination? Your snide pigeon-hole dismissive attitude toward people based at looking at the little number beside their handle is frankly divisive.

I for one would never hold against somebody that the fact that he or she has so many posts, and what does that may say about their social life, or lack thereof.

Also, I live in an incredibly blue district. Shall I move someplace red in order to "run for office"? Or trying knocking off a fellow Dem?

Also, I gave money and time to HRC. I marched, I phone-banked, I knocked on doors.

Also, as a history instructor I am EVERYDAY trying to make a difference in how young people approach politics.
