They're saying we in the Hillary group act so superior.


Are we physically superior to Bernie supporters? I have no idea, and don't really care.

Are we intellectually superior? Based on the few Bernie supporters I know in meatspace, I'd have to say probably not.

Are we socially superior? Definitely not; Bernie won teh intarwebz long ago.

Are we politically superior? Well yes, because our candidate is going to win the nomination.

Are we emotionally superior? Well again, our candidate is going to win, so we're happy about that. Also, in the wake of contests which Hillary lost, we took it pretty well, didn't we?

Finally, are we morally superior? I'll kick that question over to the Hillary superdelegates who have received threat after threat after threat from Bernie supporters.

I think it's more of a satisfied smugness.

For months I've seen the non reality based pleas from the dudebros
Only Bernie can win.
When Bernie continued to not win primaries the posts got nasty.

Now I'm just stating reality based facts and math.

Bernie lost.
Sorry that his more robust supporters are butt hurt by the reality of that.

It's like trying to be gentle with somebody who keeps lashing out at you because 10 is bigger than 5.

Syringa vulgaris. I have four shrubs, but none of them are producing very well yet (they're too young).

That's the standard old-fashioned common plant by the looks of it. Newer ones are available in darker and flashier colors, but I've always had a weak spot for the Grandma's Garden Pale Purple.

Right that there are some beautiful variations, but the old fashioned lilacs own our memories. Indeed.

We don't have the cold deciduous winter here, but after nurturing them for 3 years, I finally got ONE perfect bloom on Easter weekend. I enjoyed it! LoL
Maybe next Spring it will give me TWO blooms!

I have never seen such a long list of hypocritically ridden issues than are attached to BS & his fans..

Yeah, that's a prime example.. Free speech for everyone except Hillary supporters.. What are they afraid of?

I just do not give a crap about how they feel, what they think, or how many times they bitch about anything. I mean I think it is great that they found a "revolution" to latch onto. But it doesn't mean I care. At the end of the day Hillary is going to win and a lot of Bernie supporters will find something new to latch onto.

Than a woman who does not care what you think of her.

If not worrying too too much about losing the good opinions of strangers who would rather we maintain a polite silence than voice our opinions is being "superior", well then, I've just realized a new parenting goal for raising my daughter.

Maybe next time they will figure out that you need to convince MORE voters to support your guy to win an election, and yelling insults will not accomplish that goal. Would also be great if they could figure out how to read a poll and maybe how political parties and primaries work.
