This brings back a lot of wonderful memories. I lived in FDR Park that week, and was at the barricades. I turned down being a delegate, after working for the campaign, but I was able to be on the ground for the whole affair, relaying messages and goings on to the outside.

I met a lot of amazing people, and made friendships that will likely last my lifetime. I sat in a circle with Jill Stein and discussed the speech she had just given. I took selfies with Vermin Supreme and asked him when I was getting my damn pony. I spoke to hundreds, thousands of disillusioned young people, who knew that we were going to get robbed, but turned out in force anyway.

And even though the inevitable happened, and the democrats didn't follow their own rules, we woke an entire generation up to the corruption at every level of the electorate. And while I grow old and weary, I know that the fire is still lit in the hearts of the young. I only hope they can keep it burning.

We were right not to vote for her. I'll take selfish incompetence over pure evil any day of the week.

But don't worry, the dems are getting their wish. We have Biden now, and the world teeters on the brink of war.
