2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: So what Bernie is essentially saying is -- [View all]Sparkly
(24,167 posts)151. Pardon me.
I thought it was you who said, "Yeah, I'm sure you really were "sympathetic" to the dirty hippies and commies on the left."
The discussion, from the OP, is about the irony of complaining of disenfranchisement in an effort to disenfranchise women and minorities.
I did not think you were sniping at "the left," but I thought you were complaining that "the left" was disregarded by people who support Clinton or who see some naiveté in the steadfast belief that Sanders' words = what Sanders would accomplish.
No need to be nasty.

Cool. So, in order to win, you encourage Bernie to rig the system in his favor. Oh, dear.
