But the rock never gets to the top of the hill, does it?
Like Miss Havisham in her dress, the cake rotting all the while. We shall ever remember the Great Jilting and loathe all who come after on account.
It does no one any good to behave this way. It certainly doesn't promote any kind of political unity.
Becerra won. I was very much against him. But the primary is over, and no one here will hear me passive aggressive grousing about it until November (and sometimes not so passive). I certainly won't trace my complaints through the ages, forever picking at political scabs. In fact, progressives have been pretty chill. Perhaps some pages from that book can be borrowed.
It's true that coping skills are often undeveloped until necessity requires. But it has been required for a decade now.
People need to put on their "I didn't get what I want" adult fit and look to November.
