Blasted city was built on a swamp, so what can we expect?

No, not Potomac. That’s for rich people. I grew up in Bethesda — home of the comfortably upper middle class in the 1980s and 1990s.

Hmmm. I’m sure you’re not talking to me.

Well, if my family was rich, that really drives home the fact that there’s rich and then there’s rich.

Hey, I’ll vote for him in the MD primary, but I have no illusions. I’ve been working on presidential campaigns since before I could vote — 1996. I’m pretty sure I can spot a long shot when I see one and Bernie Sanders, bless him, is the longest of long shots. If you believe in him, by all means work for him. Bernie’s…

I certainly wasn’t rich, no. I don’t think my parents were either. As I’ve noted, you don’t get rich working for the Department of Energy.

LOL — good one.

Thanks, dude!

Sorry, I can’t respond to a question I don’t understand.

You shouldn’t hate to break it to me. I’d have LOVED to be rich. But the fact that I wore hand-me-downs and never got a trip to Europe and spent my Spring Breaks mowing lawns and went to [very good] public schools all, among many other things, reminded me I was never rich. We were, as I wrote above, comfortably middle…

I’m not arguing with you because there’s no point in arguing with a zealot.

But accurate. Which you have basically conceded. You haven’t made a single argument in favor of Ms Clinton being a progressive. All you’ve done is repeat that she’s electable and Bernie Sanders is not. You’re correct, but that’s an argument for voting for Ms Clinton in the general election. It is NOT an argument in…

You’re not really in a position to be asking that question, bruh.

I think you nailed it.

We weren’t. We would be now, but there’s no way my parents could afford that house now. They bought it in the late 1970s, before I was born. My father worked for the Department of Energy and my mother was an editor for a manufacturing industry non-profit. They didn’t come from money. My dad was white trash who escaped…

Translation: The only argument you have is the one you don’t have the guts to employ explicitly:

Uh, yeah, of course you vote for Hillary over any Republican. No-brainer. But her national security views do matter. She was wrong about Iraq, even she very grudgingly admits that now. She was wrong about Libya and the result has been a catastrophe there. She’s wrong about getting us into the Syrian civil war.…

I’m not a Sanders fanatic. Never voted for him. Never donated a penny to him.

That’s not an example, it’s an opinion article. On the other side of the ledger, we have the voting record of Rep. and Sen. Sanders, which is immaculate on race and gender issues. Immaculate. Without exception. [You can look it up!]
