So Bernie’s wife was wrong to tell everyone to vote their conscience, and we know what that meant. I don’t see the so-called establishment telling people to send messages that way, so your whole rabbit hole is amusingly non-responsive to the past, present, and future.

But this self-own was interesting: “now that shoes have hopped feet.” That’s an interesting self- reveal.
