A Bernie Sanders thread.

[java108]

A hot take for/against Sanders.

Pithy remarks.


Fight about it in the comments.

Rinse. Repeat.

1. So ... pretty much DU in a microcosm/nutshell, is that the joke? (nt)

[java108]

2. On a good day, absolutely

Today? Yikes...

3. What an odd post for someone who's new & who has posted hardly any posts.

A post to start a fight. Very odd.

[mr_lebowski]

4. It's a pretty damn observable phenomenon to any casual onlooker ...

Pretty sure it's meant as a joke, or something close to it.

[java108]

5. Only two posts until someone accused me of trolling.

Impressive. No, I'm not staking a claim to any candidate this soon, nor am I starting a fight. I just love how the mere mention of the name raises hackles.


As Mr. Lebowski pointed out, you don't need to lurk here very long to see a trend.

12. I didn't accuse anyone of trolling.

I just noted my observation.

If the OP was sarcasm, there's an emoji provided for that. But that wasn't used, or stated.

In any case, I just noticed it was an odd post. I have the freedom to post my observations, as far as I know, whether neutral observation (as mine was), or approving, or even disapproving.



Here is the smiley entry for sarcasm:

13. Sarcasm shouldn't require a tag designating it as sarcasm. That's no fun.

Besides, the OP was not sarcastic, per se.

[Honeycombe8]

14. If someone can't write so that people understand...

then "sarcasm" notation is required...per se. Obviously.

[java108]

15. Thank you for the pointers. They will certainly help me in the future.

See? Now that is sarcasm!

9. This was alerted on

I voted to keep. It's perfectly acceptable satire and doesn't even take a side.

[java108]

10. Exactly. I'm not taking a side yet. It's 2/2019 for Pete's Sake.

Thank you for being observant.

11. Why not? There are only 30 others about him started today, as of 12:00 noon Pacific time...

What's one more?
