It’s on !!!

There have been a number of studies/experiments that challenge people in competition against their peers. These are human nature type experiments.

They found, very convincingly, that some people would try to destroy those that are ahead or were winning even though they themselves had already lost.

They did this with no benefit for themselves.

I called it revenge, but it may be out of spite.

When you put it that way (and based on personal experience), it makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.

I personally know three people who are Sanders supporters. One is a lesbian college professor in Omaha, one is an ultra-lib woman in Spokane, and one is an Army vet who served in Vietnam who retired and then went to work for the DoD as a facilities manager. He’s the head janitor in the building I work at. He’s also somewhat nuts.
