[DiehardLiberal]

1. lmao

of course you are referring to the "bernie bros"?

[senz]

2. Hold the snicker, sweetie.

SS = Secret Service. When a David takes on a Goliath, David does need protection.

7. "Libertarian" is the opposite of "democratic socialist."

Look the terms up.

[UglyGreed]

16. More smear

good thing we don't have to look at it any longer SMH

[DiehardLiberal]

6. Thanks, Senz! What is going on here?? !!

[roguevalley]

12. there is no low is there. I'm female. Am I a bernie bro too? Why would you try and erase

the millions of women that support him?

[senz]

14. Did you mean that for me? I wouldn't use the term "bernie bro."

Maybe you meant it for that other person...

[roguevalley]

15. it was, senz. I loathe drop down posting. Hugs and happy weekend and week to you. :D

[senz]

18. Whew -- good!

3. what does SS stand for with the German Army?

An elite corps of combat troops (SS is short for Schutzstaffel, which is German for “protective shield”) formed originally within the German Nazi party as a bodyguard for Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders and led by Heinrich Himmler. During the 1930s, Hitler steadily expanded the responsibilities of the SS to include the suppression of his political opponents within Germany and the persecution of the Jews. The SS supervised the concentration camps.

5. Oh my goodness! What does the German SS have to do with guarding Bernie?

Of course I was commenting on the Secret Service aka SS and gratefully watching them do their job protecting Bernie. Get a grip!!

8. Lol!

I got your meaning as an insult.

Those initials mean different things to different people.

Just use care in tossing it around

[DiehardLiberal]

10. I hear you but think about context. I was merely expressing gratitude as I'd been concerned

for Bernie's safety. I'm aware of the Nazi relationship to those initials but they can mean many other things too. Context is critical. Thanks for understanding!

[frazzled]

9. What are you suggesting, specifically?

That he's in danger? And, if so, in danger from whom?

There's a subtext to your post, and I'm curious to know what it is.

[senz]

11. Bernie is a direct threat to holders of corporate power

and holders of great wealth. He is also a democratic socialist running for president and therefore a target for rightwing hatred. As well as being a Jewish person running for president.

Bernie has a great big bulls eye on his back. He most certainly needs protection.

I question your use of the word "subtext." Care to explain it?

13. Lloyd Blankfein for one.

I fully believe his statement that Bernie's campaign was "dangerous" was a veiled threat. The big corporate vampires in our economy view Sanders' ideas as a huge threat.
