2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Why are Millennial women so in love with Bernie? [View all]synergie
(1,901 posts)134. Can I also just say, thanks for such a refreshing, normal, not guano-crazy reply based on
actually discussing stuff, with no name calling, or snark, or the general nonsense that has been the norm around here?
I almost forgot how adults talked when discussing a topic! And I don't even know or care which team you're rooting for, and how awesome is that!!! Nor, does it even matter!!!
(Sorry, I'm just ready for these long drawn out primaries and their accompanying craziness to be done with so we can get back to discussing how guano-crazy the Repubs are!)
