I've never heard of Bernie's birthday cruises before. Wish I had! This year, though, it's the September 8 birthday money bomb.

Unlike many here, I am a fan of safe haven groups. For me, it's nice to have a place on DU where arguing is not an issue. I don't much like it when a Hillary supporter posts here.

I can't say any of the above qualifies as an insight. It's just how I feel.
