https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnwtrKJVZGs is Primo Nutmeg's "Response to Tulsi 
Gabbard endorsing Joe Biden". If you're feeling chilly tonight, or perhaps 
disappointed in Rep. Gabbard for the reason Buyniski laid out above, enjoy the end of 
that video.



Relatedly, but not discussing Tulsi Gabbard specifically, Jimmy Dore in 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSRQwNSyn7w around 5m01s said:

That drug price was later lowered after the price hike received a highly critical 
reaction.



What connects these two stories? Whether the theme is Primo Nutmeg's response to 
Tulsi Gabbard endorsing Joe Biden, or Jimmy Dore's reaction to the Democratic Party:

I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn, disco inferno
Burn baby burn, burn the mother down
(Burn it!)
