Sooooo many overused and insulting phrases/sayings/memes!
I'll pick one from each side:
"Virtual tie." Please stop saying that, Hillary supporters. After the millionth time, it became unfunny.
"But...it's her turn!" Please stop saying that, Bernie supporters. After the millionth time, it became unfunny.
Just a little light-hearted frivolity while we wait for results.

I don't think I understand what "establishment" means anymore either. Or "corporatist".
