Luckily we don't have to rely on your interpretations.

i bet you're one of those annoying people who backs his car into parking space making others wait.. further, you have to get it just right, you do this several times..then everyone is allowed to go after you've taken your sweet ass time. how close am i?

Nope, I'm the guy who pulls straight into the first parking spot he finds even if it's a long way from the store because I don't like waiting for the person you mention.

Then there is the person who just sits in the middle of the lane waiting for the closest space to open up while everybody behind them cools their heels.

Also those spaces near the store are hard to back out from because other cars and pedestrians are always in the way. So I park quickly, get out and walk fifty or so more yards to avoid the crowds. It's just my way.

Unlike you, I simply don't have time for getting all flustered. Also I'm a very considerate person.

Wow. An impotent attempt at a burn and a nonsensical fantasy construct. How's this: Bernie is a moot point; he lost, before running against Trump and very likely won't be in the running in 2020. Let this Bernie fantasy go, it won't happen. Clinton won't be in it either. Spend the time to rebuild the party to win.

What it's like to be a Bernie supporter


"If we are going to protect a woman's right to choose, at the end of the day we're going to need Democratic control over the House and the Senate, and state governments all over this nation," he said. "And we have got to appreciate where people come from, and do our best to fight for the pro-choice agenda. But I think you just can't exclude people who disagree with us on one issue." (real life example of a hug and endorsement from Bernie)

I know that Bernie's supporters love him but he's a cold fish to everybody else.

If I had any confidence that the Democratic Party would represent my economic interests I'd be more than happy to support them. They've proven the opposite time and again, so I'm exercising my constitutional right to support the candidates will I believe actually will.

Precious few of them are establishment Democrats, it turns out.

That's great, but you should have realized that those Democrats control their party and Bernie isn't them. Bernie's biggest mistake was to convert and try to hijack the Dem Party instead of being serious and planning/working much much earlier to form his own party.

I hope so. Now I'm not talking the particular value of his political platform, but remember how close Ross Perot came, and that was a long time ago. The present tech allows someone to reach and persuade millions of folks for very little $$.

It's a lot harder and more expensive than you might think for a campaign to reach out to millions of potential constituents these days.

Oversaturation is a big reason.

It takes planning, savvy and a serious front person with a tight core of dedicated people behind. The money comes later. But you don't dare make a last minute decision and decide to run for President.
I'm 67, I know it's expensive. It's needlessly, uselessly too expensive; politics has become a cottage industry solely to generate income for parasites. It's a self-feeding model because it's allowed to be.

Those who have parasitized the process the most tend to be those entrusted to spend the money, too.

Foxes and henhouses, anyone?
