Bernie is finished so I havent argued anything with
them but the math.

Whatever they bring up I mention the delegate and vote
count.

I can smell the panic thru the interwebs.

All but the ones in darkest depths of denial know he's done.

That revolution isn't real...it's just a wish. Made up of the same
stuff as Bernie math and Bernie logic.

She'll go over on the first ballot.

Then Bernie can go on to be an unpleasant footnote
and his more robust supporters can back to wherever
it is they came from.

I am very happy that the Democratic Party was able to keep
our nominee from being chosen by people who mostly aren't even Democrats.

Leave the angry hateful bombast to the RW T-Baggers.

I'm old enough to realize that there are no perfect politicians
But the ones like Bernie. Who never did anything but sit
in a safe senate seat and point out that everybody but him is dishonest.

Hell it's easy to be pure if you don't ever do anything.

He wears his failures like badges of honor and in politics that doesn't work.
In politics a noble loss is just a loss.

Bernies dudebros really don't get that part.

I'd love to see the Democrats start a campaign against him now.
Find a young liberal Democrat in Vermont and take his seat.

on these panel shows. Everyone else acts as if Bernie doesn't matter anymore and her job is to remind everyone he is still running. Then the interviewer will point out that he can't win and then asks "So what does Bernie want?" That's when Nina delivers the ransom note from Sanders. It's always his entire platform and a homemade pie!

I figured I'd give Sander's an opportunity to urge his supporters to tone it down and work towards party unity. He failed to do the right thing. His poor supporter still believe he has a viable path to the nomination.....

I feel bad for them but I think unity is a pipe dream. His supporters are going to go scorched earth...Bernie or bust

I went back into GD-P this weekend and only got one hide but they are extremely sensitive....

That's why Hillary is blowing Bernie out of the water.

The majority of the Bernie supporters in the real world
are going to vote for Hillary in November.

DU just happens to be overrun with the small brigade of Bernie fans
who are now and have always been angry.

They most likely vote for 3rd party or protest non vote as much as they vote for Democrats.
Just look at the states where the primaries were closed.
Bernie didn't just lose. He got buried.
Even in open primary states Hillary has won more than Bernie has.

The dudebros here just like to throw bombast.
They've lost and now the butthurt will set in.

I don't even argue with them
I just keep posting that Hillry has hundreds more deleagtes
nd millions more votes and the support of the superdelegates.

That won't stop some of Bernie's fan-boys and fan-girls from making T O S complaints. I had a couple of my post hidden because some indignant little dear thought my swipes at the Republicans actually referred to them.

For the benefit of Bernie's fan-base, when I call a certain political faction a Gathering Of Psychotics, I am making a word-play mocking the Republican Party calling themselves the Grand Old Party. GOP. Gathering Of Psychotics. There isn't ANYTHING about Senator Sanders and his followers UNLESS YOU PUT IT THERE WITH YOUR OWN MINDS. I was referring to the REPUBLICANS.

Get it?

Geez, I hope so.

I thought I'd stay high-minded and avoid name-calling, but the ultra-purist attitudes of so many of Bernie's fan-boys and fan-girls started honking me off. I started having flashbacks to the 2000 elections and decided that I had enough. Hillary may not be a progressive's progressive, but she's way better than the Trump and Teabag alternatives we were faced with until the Calgary Kid was forced out.

A lot of the Bernie fans still need to get off their high horses and take a realistic stock as to where their infantile mind-set and look at the abyss a Nader-style third-party tantrum could take us and take the planet.



I'm glad you were there with a needle.

And stop pointing out the errors of BSS ways hoping they would start grasping the reality of Bernie's situation. It didn't last long. The main thing I take issue with is when BSS start calling anyone, including Hillary, who doesn't agree with them a Republican. I will continue swatting that down when I encounter it. It looks like I'll be doing it until June. Can't wait til the convention.
