But FYI, New York is not Sanders home state, just where he was born and grew up. He has been in Vermont for many decades now.

Did I say it did? 330 Sanders supporters here recced one of those nasty OPs. stevenleser Jan 2016 #78

I don't presume to speak for others. And you didn't change your mind. You changed your affiliation. Luminous Animal Jan 2016 #79

LOL, you dont presume to speak for others and then just presumed to speak for me. stevenleser Jan 2016 #80

Question them yourself, journalist Leser. And I didn't speak for you. You spoke for yourself. Luminous Animal Jan 2016 #81

Yes you did. And it is completely different from what I said about my opinion stevenleser Jan 2016 #82

Bastion? Let's take a look at that word randys1 Jan 2016 #130

I used bastion because you were complaining about hides resulting from you speaking up about racism. Kentonio Jan 2016 #131

If I told you that because you are white you have white privilege, and every area of your life, randys1 Jan 2016 #132

I already do accept that, it should be apparent to anyone who takes the time to look at the world. Kentonio Jan 2016 #134
