Fine. That validates my last sentence.

You are OK Robbin but the MOC (man from OC) has issues with reality.
Back on topic, please do not confuse support for Hillary with opposition (even hostility) to Trump's candidacy.
Peace, I am leaving for India tomorrow morning and I plan to leave making peaceful overtures (to show my Gandhian side ) to one and all rest of the day.

Now that may not be a representative sample of people who voted for him but that's what I'm seeing.

Would you go on a social media site for Bernie and announce you were voting for Hillary?

Your words my man.

It's one thing to call someone on their bullshit and quite another to antagonize them.

Is that your spin, or the Post's?

"We lost some very important fights," Sanders told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "We're going to take that fight to Orlando, where the entire committee meets in two weeks. And if we don't succeed there, then we'll certainly take it to the floor of the Democratic convention."
Sanders' victories in the platform include a $15-an-hour minimum wage, efforts to curb "Wall Street greed" and hiking taxes on multi-millionaires. But it does not line up with Sanders' positions on trade, a carbon tax and a Medicare-for-all single-payer health insurance system.

"We have made some good gains," Sanders said. "We have more to do."
Sanders has said he'll support presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and do everything he can to defeat Republican Donald Trump in November. But, pressed about polls that show nearly half of his voters not currently supporting Clinton, Sanders said she'll need to embrace progressive policy positions to win over those supporters.

Sure, I'm not afraid of taking flack.

Look at all the flack I take here from the Trump hating Hillarybots.

Shit I got tossed off the local Democratic Party page for hating on Hillary.

They accused me of being a Right Wing Troll.

Very interesting read. I do credit the Republican party of that time for making civil rights legislation possible. It is a shame that that party no longer exists.

Drink some Kingfisher Beer while you are there. I got drunk on that stuff once in Singapore in a beer garden in Little India. So hot I had to add ice to it.

Bob is ok the closer to the election the closer we will all join together where in PC.

I can understand that.

And this is just the answer I expected from you. You're a conflict junkie. You don't believe half the shit you post here and everything you post is calculated to provoke a negative response.
