The Russians aren't part of the "opposing side." At least they're not supposed to be.

Yeah, math like in 1984 when the population was around 2/3rds the present population.

The population of the US in 1984 was about 20 million MORE than "2/3rds the present population"

Of course she got more votes "ever" because the U.S. population is the largest "ever"

Not a meaningless statistic at all - unless you are talking about how likeable HRC is.

You keep saying that. So how are the primaries being re-litigated? I just don't see it.

The OP pointedly says that this is NOT the time to re-litigate the primaries, and he/she isn't.

True, but it's WAY past time to re-litigate what we STAND FOR as a party.

It's re-litigation to keep arguing that Bernie shouldn't have been allowed in the primaries.

WHERE? I can't locate where it says that. Is that actually a part of the OP?

I didn't claim it was in the OP. I was talking about the general concept of re-litigation.
