(12,504 posts)..it's a mighty movement. It's not just a few posts.
I find it pretty hillarious that on one hand you are an innocuous small band of loyalists, but on another an unstoppable national wave.

This thread has brought it all home...and MM was absolutely right to brush Bernie supporters and by extension Bernie from the bottom of his shoes.
