Is this your 'adult' version of "I know you are, but what am I?!?"

We were discussing the pejoratives used against Sanders supporters. No one said "only Clinton supporters are calling names."

Obliquely implying I am delusional is uncalled for. I have not once called anyone who supports Hi11ary ANY of the names you've listed. Maybe you should snark at someone who has.
