Bernie 'Hillary will make a great president' Sanders proved he was little more than a sheepdogger already by mid-Spring 2016. He converted his well-worn reputation as Congress' rhetorical bomb-thrower into a flip-flopping, crime-tolerating, stealth totalitarian (or, far less likely, the most milquetoast useful idiot). The idea of him leading any kind of "Revolution" against TPTB is a ROFL'ing howler. Signed, a 2015 - early'16 supporter.

Anybody, in any limited hangout, who survives today without loss to position and voice ('skin in the game') is now a suspect. We are steadily learning who they are.

Spot on. Remember how democrats got rid of McKinney and Kusinich by changing the voting boundaries. I can’t remember what that’s called, but republicans do it even more. The word will come to me just before I nod off…

Thank you! It was driving me nuts not remembering what it’s called.

It is good that you got wise. Too many humans just keep doubling down rather than admit that they were fooled.

Cats are FAR too smart to fall for all the bullshit, Feral.

Perhaps you could be the first feline in the White House!

Yeah, but I'd wash my ass during press conferences. You know how many times Feline Resources has to come to my office? And I own the company.
