@MchughJess "Any amount of Bukowski" I like Bukowski, although I think most of the people who claim to like him overlook his tender "God I Wish I Didn't Have to Play This Macho Dude for Aggro-F*ckhead Crowd" moments. Bukowski's greatness is in when he admits how he himself is damaged.

@mojoagogo @willmenaker Bernie's supporters are younger & feeling the pressure (ie: student loan debt, unlikelihood of ever owning homes, etc.). They're youthfully headstrong & angry, but only because they viscerally feel the desperation of the situation. I think that's different than MAGA types.
