    Vivid memories of the primaries last year and talking to these lib regulars that'd come in every day. The boyfriend was a Bernie supporter and she was a Warren supporter. They asked me to be the "tie breaker" and asked who I was voting for. When I said Bernie the boyfriend did an audible "yeah!" and fist pumped while the girlfriend sighed and crossed her arms and asked me why.

    I explained why and then ended that basically I think electoralism is a spook and when I just came out and told her I was a communist she said, "Oh, you're one of those people." I followed up and asked her why she supported Warren. Was it her policies or what about her platform did she prefer over Bernie? Her response was, "I don't really care I just want to see a woman in office."
