2016 Postmortem

which is why I get so disgusted with/over the "ownership" they seem to feel they have.
As a long time critic of the 3rdwayers and the Clintons, I quit feeling like a lone wolf prior to the last pres election due to the amount criticism from the left BHO received leading up to it, here and elsewhere. I speculated at the time to some of more prominent "censors" as to whether they were the majority here on DU, and in the wider public as well, which is why I'm wholly unsurprised by the impressive effort Bernie has mounted in terms of pushback against their failures for the little people that their masters demanded for their monetary support.
We were here first
We were here always
We will never leave
And we WILL be here last!
so true that is.
