Probably not far from the truth. “Seems like the Democratic party is not a big tent at all but just a bunch of little tents. Where all the same “types” sit together.”

I sincerely hope that there is no actual violence, that no one is actually, physically harmed. Anything short of that, up to and including police raids, massive demonstrations, pandimonium, general utter chaos, etc. will absolutely thrill me. I'm not proud, but I am honest.

Yes, this whole notion of having to actually provide <i>evidence</i> to back up your claims is just so tiresome and oppressive, you know? We would all be better off if we could return to the good old days when you could just accuse someone of being a witch Communist sexist and they would be presumed guilty unless they could prove their own innocence. “When it comes to feminism, she continued, so much proof is required to convince someone that sexism exists, ‘even when it’s explicit and outrageous’.”
