Six months from now the Dems will look pretty good after SS Medicare Post Office National Parks ect.... have been looted I mean Privatized! Work rules changed to the determent thus harming employees greatly.

The Democrats of today are not the left.

They are corporate whores just like the Republicans.

The left were the Bernie Sanders people.

Most of them are like me.

Done with the Democrats.

You're admitting to having the emotional maturity and political awareness of a 19 year-old barista. On that, we agree.

Perhaps a 19 year old Barista may have a better handle on what's going on than a conceited old fart with a ramrod up his butt and a terminal case of tunnel vision.

Only in your fevered mind. Up is down, down is up.

I will take an 19 year old barista over an over the hill waitress pouring weak coffee endlessly, and if she is cute, I might even order a $5 latte.

Finn's an arrogant elitist snob.

He would look down his nose at both of them.

Give him a break, he is confused as to whether he is a leftist or an ex-rightist.

If laughing at a geriatric commie who buys into Trump's populist shtick makes me an elitist, I plead guilty.

I consider myself a rationalist and a moderate, and thereby critical of both extremes. My liberal friends think I'm conservative and my conservative friends think I'm a liberal. For that matter, as a Marylander, Yankees think I'm southern and southerners think I'm a Yankee. I guess I'm just stuck in the middle and totally OK with that.

Joad can't seem to figure out whether he's a commie or a Fascist. I guess anything radical or ridiculous enough is fine with him.

FWIW, you are an elitist.

Best keep your liberal and conservative friends apart then.

It's our accent.

Compared to you and TJ, perhaps. Thankfully, might I add.
