that put upon the semantics and logical resources of the English language a heavier burden than it reasonably can be expected to bear.

Unifying gesture: belated realisation that even Sanders can't sway his supporters to come around to the camp that IS STILL TREATING THEM WITH CONTEMPT, when he has nothing to show in the way of concessions. The divisiveness came when camp Weathervane slung its accusations of racism, sexism, complacency, sluttiness, dupes, and general Hellboundness. And then came the praise for Nancy fucking Reagan. All that was aggression. None of it came from Bernie. Clinton deserves to go down to a most ignomineous defeat in California.
