It is pure dumb luck if one good thing comes out of a revolution. A real one, that is. A Bernie Sanders dream of a progressive president and a progressive congress? The name for that isn't 'revolution.' The name for that is 'good acid.'

If it came to an armed conflict (God forbid), Berniacs wouldn't know one end of a gun from the other. They'd only go to war if fresh cappucino and biscotti were brought to the front lines.

How dare you? Everyone knows that Bernie's army will be riding unicorns into battle armed with glitter grenades and lightsabres.

Bernie was from Vermont as you may recall, which has the least gun control of any state. Hillary attacked him on gun control throughout the campaign.

It's the Hillarybots that want to disarm the citizenry. That's because they are the tools of the ruling class who don't want the masses to have the means to revolt against the corrupt system.

This country is ripe for a revolution.

The anti-establishment movements of the Trump supporters and the Bernie supporters far outnumber those that are satisfied with the status quo. All that is needed is for these two factions to unite.

Of course you don't want change Finn.

The ruling class has allowed enough crumbs to fall off their table onto you to keep you paid off. And that's all you care about.

That wasn't my point. My point was that hipster millennials are about as likely to come over to Trump's camp as pigs are to fly.

I never know any more if you're serious.

A close review of the election returns, combined with voter interviews, makes clear that McCrory’s reluctant embrace this spring of House Bill 2 – known as “the bathroom bill” – cost him his job more than anything else.

In Trumps case it was the voters that were flaming assholes.
