Man and Woman by Bernie Sanders (Hillary Group)

Um, I'm not going to quote the article that Bernie wrote as it's a severe trigger warning. I'm not going to quote the above articles either, they explain themselves beautifully.

Best snag the links before this gets alerted on and hidden for actually telling a very, very sick and unpleasant truth. The article is supposedly satirical and funny, but...this is neither.

I do think it sheds some light on the Planned Parenthood flap, however.

We should be focusing on what's really important, like what Hillary did in High School.

since then, I guess running for president and pretending to be a Democrat is all we have to judge him on. Oh right....saving tiny, underused, rural post offices. I keep forgetting about that one.

... those critical posts are very easy for Bernie's fans to get hidden here, but I think they'll find that if (not likely) but if Bernie was the nominee, they have NO "alert button" or "friendly juries" to hide the messages out in the real world when the GOP attack-machine started up in full force.

and prosper, but when something a politician has written literally turns my stomach, that's saying something. Even Trump only slightly nauseates me.
