Okay, serious reply gets serious reply. (So we are on the same page: I voted Bernie in the primary, Clinton in the general. And I’ve lived in Vermont for the last 8 years, so I get to keep supporting Bernie regardless of whether he runs for pres or not, which I seriously doubt he will).

Bernie supporters turned out for Hillary at a higher rate than Hillary supporters turned out for Obama in ‘08. Maybe you should’ve listened to people telling you that HRC was an awful, unelectable candidate instead of being offended that someone would dare challenge her rightful ascension to the throne.

How did Bernie get us where we are today? By being the only real liberal candidate? By entering a rigged primary and revealing how unpopular Hillary was in key swing states she would go onto lose in the general?

Or, because he gives a shit, he’s using CNN’s public platform to show that some people in government are fighting for healthcare

They’re planning to primary corporate sellouts? Yesssss. I love them already.

Have you looked into the Justice Democrats? They have given me a bit of hope with their plan to primary one of my senators, Booker, and other Quislings.

Travel more, outside of resorts. Yeah.

This is how I'm hyperbolizing this conversation-

amen! has anyone been to Europe lately? women go out in dresses. and nice shoes. Look it's nice. It says you give a crap. Here in Calgary everyone wears lululemon, flipflops, uggs....it's depressing. And then what's worse -worse! is that to get dressed up means you wear 12 inch heels and cheap las vegas style dresses…

I have travelled quite a bit, thankyouverymuch. I'm sure the people of Central and South America, who never leave the house without a pressed and collared shirt and full-length pants (no shorts, no flipflops) would be quite offended by you overlooking them. Same goes for many of the residents of the Carribean, African…

Yes, and I can tell the difference between you (wearing all gym attire, hair pulled up, slightly glowy) and the woman who refuses to wear real pants (covered in cat hair, worn with ill-fitting tee and flipflops, carrying plastic purse the dog chewed on). I have no issue with you. It is the latter I have a problem…

Going through life without concerns for the reactions of fellow members of society to how we present ourselves is a luxury few of us have. So kudos to you for being one of the lucky ones unaffected by public perception.

Also fun: Genetics made me fat, I eat healthy and am still fat, etc, etc

Could it also correspond to the amount of fast food that is available? The increase in eating out instead of making meals from scratch? More processed food? I am not buying that it is all about housework.
