2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: A very warm but mostly white crowd welcomes Sanders in mostly non-white Atlanta. [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)190. I, unlike you, don't feel the need to haunt the steps of posters who have opinions that dare to
differ from mine. And your need to follow me around every chance you get (though I notice you don't dare step foot in AA) lobbing 2nd grade insults does nothing but show how fucking terrified you must be of me and my "agenda."
And I'm loving it.
