40. Its your OPINION
Fri Sep 15, 2017, 01:13 PM
Sep 2017

but it is not "the Truth", which, in case you hadn't noticed, is dead and buried under Trump's morning shits.

I used to love Sanders. I still agree with nearly everything he says. I think HRC should have picked him as VP.

But since I am of the opinion that his quixotic primary run, and the creation of an intransigent, antagonistic group of supporters attacking the Party from within led directly to Trump winning the White House, you're right: I don't like it.
