My parents are lifelong democrats, in their 80s. I am a solid supporter of Bernie Sanders. Guess who my parents are planning to vote for in the primary...?

They're jumping to Trump. Go the fuck figure, but they think Hillary doesn't represent them and that Bernie is too old. How sad is that?...

So, DemocraticUnderground... get over your fecking selves! You clearly have no feel for the pulse of America in 2016 and as you choose to make your declarations and pleas to Skinner tonight, to purge all non-Hillary supporters... just remember...

You just might not have your finger on the pulse of what's REALLY happening in the world right now... Particularly in America, among millennials and octogenarians...and everyone in between!

1. Butter and salt, please.

2. well said

and we've been trying to tell them but they're too busy calling us whiny babies. Evidently wanting true progressive change is too hard and being a whiny child.

3. for the most part, I am missing the garbage that most of them are spewing.

very pleased for the ignore list.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

4. Purging the Bernie supporters?

Really?

[Joe the Revelator]

9. oh its going to happen, we're just trying to put it off until the convention

or when he drops out. If you won't fall in line, you won't be 'underground' enough.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

12. Looks like a self-purging place lol

[Hissyspit]

20. Have been a couple of posts kind of sort of in that direction.

So, a bit overdramatic, but, yeah.

[XRubicon]

5. Cool Story Bro!

Thanks for letting everyone know what we should do!

[TeeYiYi]

19. Oh, yeah, you liked that?...

Yeah, me too. My parents are 83 an 82 respectively.

As lifelong democrats, they've lost friends, made enemies and alienated siblings with their staunch Democratic leanings in a red state like Utah....

...and now they're voting for Trump.

So, laugh it up. The world is changing and if you think you really understand what's happening, I'm here to tell you that you don't.

21. More republicans have voted against trump than have voted for him

You may think the world is changing, but it isn't. You don't understand what is happening.

You should have made your parents younger, it would have been more believable.

6. Since when

has Du ever really been representative of what is going on "out there"? I've been around since I broke my stone underwear falling off my dinosaur and it's never been very representative.

[FSogol]

7. I recommend getting power of attorney and putting your parents in a home.

It is for their own good.



As for Skinner, I doubt anything will change on DU until HRC clinches it.

[grossproffit]

13. OMG!

[TeeYiYi]

22. Thanks for your darling...

...and thoughtful reply.

My parents ARE in a home... Their own home; where they'll live out their lives according to their own dictates while they continue to exercise their right to vote for the person that best represents their best interests...according to them.

Ah, but thanks again for your kind and considerate concern.

I'll still be caucusing for Bernie on March 22.

8. Trump is 70 years old, so age can't be too much of a problem for your parents. n/t

[JaneyVee]

10. If they think Trump represents them...

Then they arent Democrats.

[Onlooker]

11. I think a small number want to purge the Bernie supporters ...

... just as a small number want to suggest the Hillary supporters are right wing.

Frankly, it's damn clear that the Democratic Party with Bernie is far better than it is without Bernie. If he wins, great, but even if he loses, he is helping the Democrats get their identity back, which is necessary if the Democrats want to control the White House and Congress again.

14. Did you ask your parents why the hate old people?

Tell them one day someone will think that way about them. People will think they can't do something because they're too old. Tell them is usually starts with their children. For example: I wanted to learn to ride my son's hover board recently, he told me no, cause I might break a hip. I'm only 57, I really resent that he already thinks of me as frail and feeble. They will too, I guarantee it.

[840high]

15. You are right. I see

post after post about Trump. No everyone supporting Trump is a racist. The revolution against the status quo is on both sides of the isle.

[Turn CO Blue]

16. I can barely believe how many people I know are openly pro-Trump. Makes me so sad. n/t

[glowing]

17. Actually, it's quite strange to hear some of the people say they

support Trump that do...

Honestly the biggest problem with the Dems is the candidates that are in the field. I love Bernie and voted for him in FL, but I'm originally from VT, but I even worry about his age, that office ages everyone so very much (and 8yrs?). Hillary isn't liked by many people. My husband had no one he wanted to vote for and skipped the primary today.... And with all the Trump crap on tv, he has an affinity towards some of the things he says... Given a choice this fall, he'd be a Dem, voting for Trump.

He's got the anger part down. People are angry. He's not responsibly harnessing the anger like Bernie has, but so few know anything about him still due to media black out... The only one who hasn't gotten
Live speech coverage on our bay news 9
When I've had to listen to trump several times the last few days...

When people are angry, things can go ugly quickly... This country could get extremely worse for everyone.

18. why would they want to vote for a maniac?

someone who is going to start a nuclear war for the fun of it

[dbackjon]

23. It's sickening that anybody would choose Trump over Hillary

Anybody like that is clueless and needs to be educated as to how bad Trump is and the fact that Hillary is will be a very good president

[beaglelover]

24. With all due respect, your parents are idiots.

25. Locking..
