241 years ago Clinton Supporters whould have been Loyalists

[Cosmic Kitten]

Bernie wants us to join in
a Political Revolution.

He is a Founding Father
of a New American vision that
is inclusive, honest, fair, and
seeks justice in where it is lacking.

His opponents are quite the opposite.
They are demonstrably exclusive as
exhibited through their elitism, bigotry,
and dishonest efforts to secure their
grip on the levers of power.

Sanders' opponent struggle is NOT
to emancipate the general populous
from modern day forms of oppression
but to maintain or increase their various
methods of subjugation.

If this was May 1775, Clinton would be
seen clearly as a Loyalist supporter,
firmly in opposition of the Political Revolution
that seeks to liberate the populous from the
heinous and corrupt oligarchy.

1. How blind do you have to be to not see the same for the Sanders followers?

The guy has fewer endorsements than Ted Cruz! He may be all curmudgeonly and cuddly-looking, but he clearly -after 25 years!- has not built many bridges or made many friends. Maybe he has a shyness problem or something but how can you overlook this?

2. The American Revolution was definitely pro-business...

Resistance to taxes on trade and goods for sale was a big part of it.

4. The centerpiece was Enlightment thinking and rejection of the Establishment

12. Pretty much.

A bunch of rich, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes.

3. Bernie people would have called Washington a warmonger and insisted that we fight using

our "spirits" instead of weapons.

6. Hillary would have said Obey your Rulers...

so there's that!

Both Hillary and Trump
are Oligarchs, the modern
version of an oppressive
and exploitative regime.

Ghandi won using *spirit*

5. Founding father now with Christ, prophet, savior, MLK, ect...

7. Show's how little you know of American history.

Did you graduate?

9. Ah, an insult.

8. Worst. Poem. Ever.

But birds still chirp to the tune.

14. The OP writes like this all the time

It's...something, all right.

11. I love the smell of tinfoil in the morning.

13. Oh, they're not *all* that Loyal

Some of them were "Over the Hill" in 2008.

But now the "Rovian character" who was "too stupid to be President" has won their hearts somehow.

In Revolutionary War terms, we could think of those individuals as more like Benedict Arnold, who was on the correct side of history and then changed his mind.
