Too much ill will built up.

All that will happen is the subject for attacks will shift, and it will occur in a different forum as this one will be closed down.

This will, rightly or wrongly, never be a Sanders-friendly forum again, if it ever was (I hear many conflicting stories about 2015/16, which was well before my time here.) It simply isn't going to happen, for many reasons. partially becuase of Sanders himself, partially over ideology and overall orientation.

I myself just wish he would drop out, and at least thus remove the overwhelming amount of argy bargy atm.

I am quite sad that one of my favourite posters here, Brooklynite, was just banned, after 18 years here. I am fairly sure it had to do with some Bernie brawl post that he waded into and said something that pissed off enough people, certain people on a jury, and thus poof he goes. Who knows.



If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
