Feb 2016

it is partly how the game is played

To me what Capehart tried to pull is insulting, not because of what Sanders did, but becuase of historical memory and preservation of it. It struck me a tad of 1984, or worst, an attempt at a stalinesque air brushing of history (which did happen.)

And to be honest, the 1990s is far more relevant to me, and that is for BOTH.
