Sometimes, one alerter calls me "Minimal Man." That one's good, too.

A little satire a day keeps the mimes and clowns away.

a sitting House member. So, maybe you're right. As near as I can tell, though, nobody he is supporting is likely to be elected. Tim Canova will have a long, hard row to hoe to beat Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who won her last election with a 62% majority. She appears to be quite popular in her district.

Bernie's coattails seem to be tattered and threadbare, as far as I can tell. He's not supporting any of our progressive incumbent members of Congress with funds or endorsements. Is it any wonder that they will be voting for Clinton at the convention.

Instead, he's relying on threats from supporter to change their votes. I'm not sure that's going to work out well for him.

Why waste your time?

Do you think 0.01% of Sanders supporters are posting verbiage at Facebook and Twitter similar to your OP? More or less?

Do you think your OP belittles and mocks Sanders supporters and is that your intent?

Why would you want to do that to good Democrats of long standing that have a different opinion than you?
