2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Women react to Sanders' "Excuse me I'm talking" [View all]Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)159. I'm a woman, last I looked, and I was fine with that.
Hillary kept interrupting. I'd have been tempted to tell her to shut the fuck up (obviously, my future has never been with the Diplomatic Corps).
