Carl couldn't vote for Sanders on 8 November unless he wrote his name in.

But then you know that.

You're just trolling.

I'm not blaming my personal problems on whoever the Democrats did or didn't nominate.
I know who is responsible, me.

No I didn't cheeto face fanboy, go back and look at my postings before the election. I stated my intentions at least 5x. Then you will know you are full of shit on this one, It makes you look like a shill when you have to make up what people say to argue with. Maybe you are getting that way given you can't even get past HRC lost the election.

Very Trump like, I will give you that. No facts just manure.

If you voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary then I apologize profusely.

Don't think for a minute I'm going to let you forget that.

I always understood progressiveness to be focused on the future. You, however, are fixated on a candidate who is no longer running for office and bears little chance of ever again running for office. You insist on spewing bile, hoping to infect others with your particular neurosis, but you instead are providing a compelling example of behavior to avoid at all costs. Again and again you impart the lesson - don't be like him - old and bitter with nothing better to do than rage on the internet.

Maybe TJ should take a page from Bernie's playbook. The fight is still there. But Bernie knows which bunker he is fighting out of, while TJ is wandering all about the battlefield dropping grenades and hate.

Hospitals and doctors stayed exactly as they were before. Doctors may have gotten rid of some clerical staff since they no longer had the myriad of forms to fill out.
