6. I don't know any RWers well at all. Dropped my hair dresser when it turns out he's a rabid

Mix of RW and Libertarian. She thinks she is ultra lefty- but the thing is, she doesn't even know the system she tries to rail against is. Others have pointed out how she denigrates bands, artists and people when others have brought them up - in a positive way- in conversation. She went to a play one friend produced and spent a half hour ripping it to shreds because she just wasn't interested in the subject matter. It's not just lacking a filter- it's making assumptions others feelings do not matter.

I'm a little compulsive about correcting the record. She is going to have to cope with it.

I'm right there with you! Would have been okay with Sanders even though bettyellen Sep 2016 #20

She is probably a bit of a fanatic where Bernie is concerned...more of a groupie than a Demsrule86 Sep 2016 #27

Agree. Demsrule86 Sep 2016 #26

She so naive about that- any new candidate would have a very tough race. bettyellen Sep 2016 #33

Bernie would never accept the nom under these circumstances. Ken Burch Sep 2016 #37

You might be right about that, I've watched Foxnews turn relatives Rex Sep 2016 #40
