A bet that paid off! You don't admit that, you brag about it. May you enjoy your earnings in good health.

I think the Democrats are going to face a populist resurgence for the next 12-16 years. I support them fully. That's the difference between the the left and the right - the crazies on the left want to invite more people to the party. The crazies on the right want to kick more people out.

I never thought Sanders would make it all the way to the nomination; too many people over 40 who remember that he's always been a socialist and he's never been particularly effective. That he's made it as far as he has and energized as many people as he has says a lot about the climate for leftist populism.

Especially when this economy thuds to a halt and maroons another generation of young people in a shitty earnings cycle for life.
