I AM NOW HEAVILY LEANING TOWARDS BERNIE SANDERS

[cosmicone]

After observing the various posts in GD-P, I have been feeling like I had been missing out on many hip things.

1. I always wanted to type an OP in all caps ... it has that cool feel to it. Now I can do it without impunity.

2. Supporting Hillary meant I was owned by corporations and I didn't like that one bit. So I sent a letter to all fortune 500 companies that they were no longer my owner and whosoever has the title to my soul, they should return it forthwith.

3. I always wanted to type multiple OPs saying the same redundant theme. Just typing one OP with an
opinion is boring ... it is much cooler to type 5 fairly identical OPs .. or at least 3. Repetition makes it true for me.

4. I wanted to be a quixotic voice against the myriads of politicians, labor unions, pundits, economists et al who are supporting Hillary. There are just so many of them, I was feeling smothered in the outside world.

5. Being a part of the majority on DU has its advantages and there are simply no disadvantages to being a minority in the extra-DU world. Since I have no life outside DU, I want to be happy here.

6. I like lecturing people instead of being lectured on. It would be really cool to tell some pro-Hillary group how "you people" are all wrong and you just don't understand your group's problems as astutely as Bernie Sanders does. If they still won't budge, it would be exciting to bombard them with a barrage of youtube videos. If that still doesn't work, I can always shrug my shoulders and proclaim that they have "Stockholm syndrome."

7. Hillary's campaign had become stressful to me. She talks about way too many issues and has long plans with specifics. It is just not possible for me to pay attention to all that. It would be calming and a lot simpler for me to focus on economic inequality as pretty much the only issue with unworkable policies to fix it. That means I can rail against economic inequality forever since the issue will never go away. I like issues that are mine to keep for eternity.

8. I was insanely jealous of my neighbor's fancy car. I had no outlet to express my displeasure as a Hillary supporter. Now, I can call him an oligarch or plutocrat and my blood pressure is normal.

9. Every time I had been to a bank, I had been mistreated by the billionaire tellers and bank managers insulting me by asking for an ID or tax returns to justify a loan application. Now I can smugly smile inside knowing that instead of the 2,000 square foot opulently appointed branch, those people would be working out of a vending truck... as soon as the banks are broken up.

10. I used to avoid right wing websites and media because they never had anything good to say about Hillary. Now that I am leaning towards Bernie, those websites have a wealth of information about how Bernie is the right person and how he will be the next POTUS. More reading material is always good.

11. I have been seriously affected by close to 1,800 posts all saying Hillary is untrustworthy and a liar. Even though they were written by the same handful of people, 1,800 is a big number and has to leave a mark. As opposed to that, Bernie is so honest, ethical, aboveboard, open ... he even has his campaign strategy out for everyone to see .. people's shouting notwithstanding. I haven't found them anywhere but I'm sure the full transcripts of all his phone calls and meetings are on reddit or facebook somewhere. That is what I call transparency!

12. One day, I want to retire in a rural state and will need dozens of guns for protection. Bernie has made sure that my rural existence will be well-protected by easy availability of cheap guns. His record in this regard is refreshing.

13. I still have nightmares from my kindergarten teacher shouting and yelling at me. Bernie gives me comfort that such shouting and yelling will no longer be tolerated.

14. I want to post simple, ordinary OPs that get hundreds of recs .. I have never been able to accomplish that as a Hillary supporter. By the same token, I want to be able to post OPs that speak my mind with virtually no chance that anyone could silence my freedom.

15. Hillary is just a politician wanting to win the election... so boring. On the other hand, Bernie was sent to this earth by divine design to give voice to people .. or 25% of the people (honesty is a must while supporting Bernie.) Bernie is not a politician at all .. he is carrying out a celestial mission much the same way Jesus, Buddha or Gandhi did. Any appearance that he is a politician - like participating in debates, hiring a campaign management team or hiring a pollster is just so that he keeps appearances. All those things are completely unnecessary for him to win.

16. Bernie is winning all 50 states ... this is important. Anyone who is not winning all 50 states doesn't deserve to be POTUS.

I'll provide more justification as soon as I have read today's anti-Hillary posts ... they are really changing my mind.

[Ed Suspicious]

1. You don't act like front runners.

[LibDemAlways]

27. In the event that Hillary wins the nomination,

Last edited Fri Nov 6, 2015, 05:07 PM - Edit history (1)

which is not yet a given, her supporters better come up with some positive reasons to vote for her. She's going to need all the help she can get from Bernie primary voters, and this kind of snarky drivel doesn't help her case.

[randys1]

54. More threats, my god. How is this tolerated here?

If you have to be convinced to vote for her, then just say that, oh wait, you just did.

I thought this board was ONLY for people who support electing Democrats and preventing repubs from being elected.

I am sure I even read that

[Ed Suspicious]

63. WE WANT DIFFERENT DEMOCRAT. It's still primary season, no?

[randys1]

67. Not what he said, he THREATENED about Hillary POST primary, and you know it

[indigoth]

74. Seriously?

I've reread his comment a number of times TRYING to see a threat in it. There's no threat there

[randys1]

75. This is a wasste of time, it is like refusing to admit it is light outside in the middle of the day

her supporters better come with some positive reasons to vote for her
her supporters better come with some positive reasons to vote for her
her supporters better come with some positive reasons to vote for her
her supporters better come with some positive reasons to vote for her
her supporters better come with some positive reasons to vote for her
her supporters better come with some positive reasons to vote for her
her supporters better come with some positive reasons to vote for her
her supporters better come with some positive reasons to vote for her

[JackInGreen]

90. Like Bernie has to earn every vote and give people a ream to vote for him..

RIGHT?

[randys1]

99. Not the point, point is not the Hillary voters demanding X or Y to show up and vote

[AgingAmerican]

112. X or Y = positive reasons to vote for her

Is that an unclimbable mountain for her, or what?

[LibDemAlways]

140. Thanks! You get it. In no way was my comment intended to be

a threat, and I'm sorry it was misconstrued as such. Instead of attacking Bernie voters, those in the pro Hillary camp should IMO be focused on Hillary's positives rather than on denigrating those not currently in her camp - especially if they want us to enthusiastically get on board in the general. After all, if she wins the nomination, she will need the support of all Dems. No matter which turd the R's nominate, it's going to be a fierce fight and it's foolish at this juncture to deliberately alienate a significant percentage of the Democratic base.

[Babel_17]

148. YOU SAID "YOU BETTER", THAT'S A THREAT!!!

"Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Qutzupalotl]

120. or...?

...or people won't?

[LiberalLovinLug]

132. or?..

Or they'll risk being seen as simply in a cult of personality rather than supporting someone who actually represents real positive political change? You're right, that is a real threat.

[Bubzer]

98. Well, if you bend over backwards while standing on your head and squint just right...

Nope...still not a threat.

[AgingAmerican]

113. But he seeks positive reasons to vote for her!!

It's hate, HATE!!

[Bubzer]

116. Pshhhh... stop confusing the issue with the facts!

You might disrupt the narrative!

[AgingAmerican]

110. He asked for 'Positive reasons to vote for Hillary"

Apparently asking for positive reasons to vote for her threatens her. You can't make this stuff up.

The longer they do this the less and less substantive she appears.

[AgingAmerican]

107. Because seeking 'positive reasons to vote for her' is beyond the pale!!

[davidpdx]

179. He threatened NOTHING

It is purely your wanting to put words into another person's mouth. Whomever the nominee is will have to address the supporters of the other candidates (note plural because there would be two other groups). Expecting people to fall in line immediately without hesitation is YOUR expectation, not the expectation of others. President Obama when he won the primary in 2008 had to address and convince Clinton supporters to join him, why should Hillary Clinton not do the same. Is she somehow fucking special???

You claim over and over again you are a Sanders supporter, but almost every post I see you advocating for Clinton including this one. It seems that you think you can play people for fools.

[randys1]

185. Jesus Christ this is amazing, of course he did,

her supporters better come up with some positive reasons to vote for her
her supporters better come up with some positive reasons to vote for her
her supporters better come up with some positive reasons to vote for her

[davidpdx]

186. Repeating the same thing over and over again says nothing for your intelligence.

[randys1]

187. Karl is a genius

[AgingAmerican]

105. You're screwing up the coronation with all this 'primary' talk

[AgingAmerican]

103. When a call for 'positive reasons to vote for her' are seen as a negative attack

Something is definitely wrong in Denmark.

[LibDemAlways]

142. I can list my reasons for intending to vote for Bernie in the primary,

starting with his stand on universal health care as a human right, free public college for all, using military force only as a last option after all other avenues have been exhausted, and paid family leave for new parents. Those are positions I agree with.

Really, is it too much to ask those favoring Hillary to similarly state what they like about where she stands on the issues? How is that a threat or a negative attack? If Hillary is the nominee, she's going to have to bring her case to the American people and convince them that she is best equipped to lead this nation. Like it or not, she's going to have to win over the Bernie primary voters, and her supporters can either help by showcasing her positives or hurt by attacking those not yet on board for even daring to ask for reasons why they should support her.

[cascadiance]

156. It's too bad we aren't in Denmark where a bit more socialism might help us more now! ;)

[Hekate]

159. It's too bad the PM of Denmark said they're not a socialist country. nt

[cascadiance]

160. Since they are more socialist than we are, I guess that makes us closer to fascism!

[Hekate]

162. Oh please

[BeanMusical]

125. Score:

Passive-aggressiveness: 9.5
Aggressive-aggressiveness: 8.5

[davidpdx]

180. That's about right

Bullshit: 10

[aikoaiko]

135. S/he didn't say s/he wasn't going to vote for HRC

Just gave some good advice those who seek to win the presidency.

[bahrbearian]

39. She is too much of a "Delicate Flower to be Prez.

Everybodies Shouting at Me I can't hear a word they are saying

[tex-wyo-dem]

45. I don't get it...

She's "tough" because, wow, look how she handled the sham Benghazi hearings! Yet sanders says "kicking butt" and somehow that's blatant mysogony that's referring directly to Hil's hind-quarters? FFS!

Jeez..."delicate flower", as much as I like it (👍 , may be putting it way too nicely.

[Nitram]

47. Ed, evven front runners get tired of the silliness on DU.

A little satire helps restore the balance and, who knows, just might encourage someone to reserve their opinion until they have something of substance to say.

[randys1]

56. If I even remotely implied certain Bernie supporters were assholes I would be out of here so

fucking quick

[randys1]

61. A 2nd time you called us assholes. Hey, the double standard here is well known...

Yes us because I support both Bernie and Hillary.

imagine that

[Sheepshank]

121. looks like those self deletes were a wide move lol

I think even other Sanders supporters draw a line at some point.

[randys1]

122. Who deleted what?

I am all for being able to call someone an asshole, by the way.

I am often an asshole for insisting on properly reading the 2nd amendment, for example.

I am often an asshole for insisting that every single American age 18 and over be allowed to vote with no ID requirement.

I can be a real asshole if I dont get my half the fat Dreyers Rocky Road mixed with Chocolate Chip at the exact right time, as well.

[Sheepshank]

136. you made several references to someone who has since self deleted several posts

judging by your comments, the term asshole was being used. My reference to a wise choice (yeah, wide was a typo) was realizing that if had not been deleted, an alert was very likley.

[JTFrog]

59. Says the guy who stepped into the thread without a mirror. n/t

[JTFrog]

65. You have the power. n/t

[Nitram]

68. Ed, you clearly don't have a clue how anything works.

As evidenced by your hasty reliance on name-calling. That's the last resort of a clueless scoundrel. Oh, my goodness, see what I did there?

[Little Star]

2. k&r

[think]

3. Great. How about breaking up too big to fail banks with long histories of breaking the law?

Banks that rigged money markets and bilked their clients through fraud and deception. Or should we just ignore that kind of activity?

[cosmicone]

6. I covered it in Point No. 9. n/t

[think]

9. By spouting complete nonsense. Brilliant!

[Armstead]

17. Well the point is that a diverse mix of banks....

is a lot healthier than abusive monopolies.

But I guess that's not "funny"

[TheFarseer]

168. not necessary

Just tell them to cut it out. It worked in 2008 didn't it?

[think]

169. You nailed it.

[Sheepshank]

4. OMFG...that was brilliant

half way through, I skipped to the bottom to rec...and then went back to finish reading.

thanks for adding smiles to my morning coffee.

[NurseJackie]

5. Ha! Love it!

[ismnotwasm]

7. Too funny..

[Autumn]

8. Have you ever though of taking an arts and crafts class? Just to stay occupied.

It would really help.

[MineralMan]

14. Writing is an art and a craft, too.

Speaking as someone with a MA in English, I know this to be a fact. Is it a bankable skill? Not so much, of course.

[Sheepshank]

15. wow...you just can't ever turn it off, can you

nasty, biting comments are your hallmark judging by your profile.

[Autumn]

23. Oh come on. Her OP was funny and I responded. There are better things than being forced to support

Bernie, such as arts and crafts

[cosmicone]

16. Doesn't Bernie have free tuition for such classes? Great idea! n/t

[Autumn]

21. You are so right. We can all take college classes too.

[William769]

22. I did take a class in the art of swatting flies. Does that count?

[marym625]

84. what a thing to be proud of

[William769]

88. Flies are just like trolls, irritating and not wanted.

So yes I am proud of it.

[marym625]

94. and sometimes, trolls look just like democrats on the outside

But you don't have to dig very deep to scratch that surface off.

[William769]

95. I know. Just take a look at Bernie.

[marym625]

100. Funny, sounds just like something a troll would say.

You know, someone that follows the rules of a third party, the third way. Someone that says they advocate for the middle class while voting for the corporate written bankruptcy bill. Someone that says they advocate for women and children while voting for No Child Left Behind. Someone that says they want a strong U.S. while voting for and pushing for an illegal war. Someone that says they care about human life, then advocates for bombs to be dropped on innocent people and laughs about someone's murder. Someone that says they defend and protect the Constitution while voting for the Patriot Act.

You know, someone like Hillary Clinton, the third party, third way, candidate

[William769]

118. So much for third way.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=25467

And the rest of the post is well just gibberish.

I know it must suck to support a candidate that has no chance of beating Hillary. So in that regards, I do feel for you.

Have a great Hillary day!

[marym625]

129. Isn't advocating for super delegates undemocratic?

I know we're a republic but we're still supposed to vote for delegates. I mean a "favorite son" is one thing.

I guess that's just the new, third way/DWS dictator way. You kids and all your new games.


You obviously know how it feels to support a losing candidate. Is this your first time or was Hillary who you backed in the 2008 primaries?

Hillaryous! You find that to be gibberish. Sorry to hear that her votes make no sense to you. Must make it difficult to support them and her. Which you just made so perfectly clear.

I'll have a great day feeling the Bern spreading it around. Tomorrow will be even easier as I speak to thousands of people who support Bernie and all he stands for.

[ismnotwasm]

134. What?

That was a lot of pretty good snark in a few sentences, unfortunately it made no sense. What kids? What games? "Her votes made no sense" What votes? Are you supporting Sanders because he's a losing candidate or in spite of it?

Hillaryous?--so stealing that.

You're speaking to thousands tomorrow? Congratulations, I think.

[Live and Learn]

172. +1000 nt

[Live and Learn]

[artislife]

166. Thank you for showing us who you are

buh bye

[cwydro]

10. Well done.

I'm on neither side, but this made me laugh.

Edit to add: especially number 3!

[MineralMan]

11. K&R for all the time it took for you to write this.

And for other things, too, of course.

[Armstead]

12. Aiming to be the ConservaDem version of Third Way Manny?

I think the original is funnier. Mannie manages to include some cleverness with his snark.

[cosmicone]

18. I have so much to learn from Manny.

My only lament is that as I strive to be like him, I cannot go back and vote for Reagan now. I'm also having difficulty regretting my vote for Obama which Manny so bravely expresses.

[Armstead]

20. But he's funnier

[Bobbie Jo]

31. No he isn't.

[Autumn]

32. His threads sure are. A lot of laughter in any Manny thread.

The responses are key.

[Armstead]

40. That's true. Not just "You tell 'em."

They do get to be more fun and loose.

[Hekate]

161. Not even a little bit

[Squinch]

178. Well... the guys in the Conservative Cave certainly like him...

Me, on the other hand, I'm an undecided Democratic voter and I never found anything worthwhile or funny in his posts. They seem to me to be nothing more than click bait to feed his need for attention.

[Ed Suspicious]

26. Conservative political comedy always falls flat.

[frylock]

77. Conservative political "comedy" always falls flat.

[Ed Suspicious]

78. Thanks for the edit. Much better.

[frylock]

79. I'm here to help.

[Maedhros]

93. All conservative politics is "comedy." [n/t]

[OKNancy]

37. really?

where?

[AgingAmerican]

102. Conservatives are inherently non funny

They just don't have it in them.

[freshwest]

13. ...

[leftofcool]

19. Excellent. I really enjoyed this.

[JaneyVee]

24. K AND R!

[retrowire]

28. Gee, I think I might start leaning towards Hillary

Because I've been feeling the urge to write long wasteful lists that mock other voters myself!

I AM NOW HEAVILY LEANING TOWARDS BERNIE SANDERS
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251773276

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Meta call out of hosts, admins and half of du. Full of insults to same.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Nov 6, 2015, 11:00 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Lame but not hide worthy.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I'll vote to hide as snark is of poor quality
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Pointless and boring post. But then so much of GD-P is these days.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There is no callout here. And if Manny can constantly post his idiotic, unfunny TWM "satire", others can as well. I find this hysterical that it was alerted on. Hillary haters....oops...I mean Sanders supporters need a thicker skin.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's GD P, people. It's a complete shit hole. Just deal with it and thicken up your skin. Like that ugly kidney stone, it will pass.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[DURHAM D]

34. Thanks for this PSA.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

35. I was on the jury also.

I disagree vehemently with the pathetic OP, but voted for the author's right to express it!

[Armstead]

71. The Jury responses were much funnier than the post

[ChiciB1]

127. Yeah, They Were! No Matter Armstead, When Someone Has To

copy you for being UNIQUE, it says MORE about them than you! YOU OWN THIS!

I know where to FILE this one! DUMP!

[ChiciB1]

128. Not Gonna Fall For "Being PUNKED!"

But I see you put a lot of effort into this!

[Hekate]

164. #6 and 7 are on point

[DanTex]

36. K&R. Perfect!

[UglyGreed]

38. Bravo

[DURHAM D]

41. I am trying to figure out the Alert.

Where is the call out of Hosts and admin?

Did you write part of your OP in invisible ink that only some can see? If there is a decoder ring for DU why isn't it advertised anywhere? I want one.

[cosmicone]

42. I felt honored that they had to make up some outrage

to justify hiding it.

It would have been heartbreaking to have no alert at all!

[1StrongBlackMan]

62. You just didn't read between the lines closely enough and then add ...

your interpretation of the implications made therein!

Try printing the OP out on 20lb copy & print paper (92-brightness) and hold it up, at a 62.5 degree angle, to a 75 watt black light, with Black Sabbath's National Acrobat, playing in the background, and it will all be clear ...

[DURHAM D]

82. That is complicated.

I have been out in my She Shed working on this but I can't get the 62.5 degree thing nailed down. Would it work at 180?

[1StrongBlackMan]

108. NO!!!!! Anything more, or less, than 62.5 degrees will trigger the auto-destruct feature!!!!!!

RUNNNNNN!!!!!!!

[sheshe2]

151. Ha!

[treestar]

43. Hilarious

I really like #13

[stupidicus]

44. too funny. I find #5 to be one of the more hilarious

sure, and by all means, explain the disconnect between DU, the internet bastion of all things dem being predominately populated by BS supporters, and all the wholesale whining about the non-scientific/anecdotal evidence being completely meritless.

THis is explained in part by your concession in #7 how much you struggle knowledge absorption.

That's okay, we fellow BS supporters won't hold your impediment against you, and see it as a good explanation as to why you started in the other camp.

[Fred Sanders]

46. Well said and written. Number 10 explains the majority of OP's in GD:P, at DU lately.

10. I used to avoid right wing websites and media because they never had anything good to say about Hillary. Now that I am leaning towards Bernie, those websites have a wealth of information about how Bernie is the right person and how he will be the next POTUS. More reading material is always good.

When was demanding that folks "Feel The Bern" - or else Angry Uncle Sanders is going to poke you in the eye with a hot poker of income equality* - ever a good campaign slogan?

*Relax, it's a metaphor!

[workinclasszero]

48. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

[BainsBane]

49. Now that is a work of art

[DemocratSinceBirth]

50. I wish I could write that well.

Thank you.

[Nitram]

51. Thanks for the satire.

You are right on the money - from the ALL-CAPS, to the deluge of repetitious ad hominem anti-Clinton posts, to the use of Republican talking points.

[PowerToThePeople]

53. META

And a whole crapton of complete bullshit.

Butt must be the theme you are on today, because that is exactly what this OP prooves you to be.

[1StrongBlackMan]

66. What's a "crapton"? n/t

[bunnies]

86. Slightly more than a shitload.

[2pooped2pop]

55. wow another post written entirely for shit stirring

Because there just isn't any fun otherwise.

[cosmicone]

111. I love your ID. The visual is striking. n/t

[Agnosticsherbet]

57. I TRIED HEAVILY LEANING AND I FELL OVER. now my doctor has me on muscle relaxants....

Oh, jeez man, where's my thumbs?

Excellent OP. Funny as hell.

[1StrongBlackMan]

70. Well ... Take heart ...

the doctor could have put you on opiates rather than muscle relaxants ... then, you could have been the anonymous subject of a deeply moving story, told by a sensitive candidate!

[Agnosticsherbet]

72. LOL

[Armstead]

69. I know. You've been watching Greg Gutfeld and Kennedy on Fux News, right?

Got inspired.

[cosmicone]

80. I don't watch Faux news .. but I will if you highly recommend it. n/t

[Armstead]

97. I do. It's a great source of bad humor.

In all honesty (no snarkiness) they have some shows that attempt to be a conservative version of the Daily Show and "millenial" discussion (to try and augment their elderly audience) that are absolutely painful to watch.

[lunamagica]

73. K&R. Hillarious! Thanks for the laugh!

[frylock]

76. Cool story.

[cui bono]

81. Some good, funny stuff in there! It would have been even better if you stuck to truth.

Satire is supposed to skewer reality, not fantasy. If you edited out that stuff it would make a much better and funnier post.

[cosmicone]

83. Thank you for the feedback. I'll try to do better to please everyone. n/t

[BeanMusical]

85. Hum, didn't turn the way you expected to, hey, comicone?

And please spare me the "It turned out exactly like I wanted to" cliché. Gee.

[cosmicone]

[Spirochete]

87. Welcome to the good guys!

Now if you'll just sign these papers, we'll get that lobotomy reversed, and print you up an ID card...

[BeanMusical]

106. Roflmao!!!

I can't breath!

[leftofcool]

137. Now, that was funny!

[oasis]

89. Great stuff. Especially #8

"Jealous of my neighbor's fancy car".

[redstateblues]

92. Brilliant! Reminiscent of a Daily Show bit

[Spazito]

96. LOL, this is great, I love GOOD satire...

and this is a excellent example. Thanks for the laugh, good way to start the day!

[AgingAmerican]

101. A lot of Hillary supporters butt hurt today

I think the TPP release has something to do with it.

109. If this was at least clever or humorous

Bitter snark is not funny.

Especially when it has no point other than to kick sand. I would expect for satire, points would be made for your actual candidate's positions by ridiculing the opponent in this way. You did non of that. No where in this attempt were any points made to present Hillary as the better choice, but rather simply a collection of
a. insulting Bernie supporters
b. arrogance about being the front runner
c. exaggerating or plain misrepresenting Bernie's stances for a "laugh".

But not one example, by way of satire, is any position Hillary has taken that is shown as better than the person that is ridiculed. So...fail.

You think Banks shouldn't be too big to fail? Do you want to have to bank from a truck? ha ha ha ha
Saying we live under an oligarchy is only being jealous of anyone richer than yourself.
And a whole bunch of: Bernie supporters are stupid, repetitive and attention seeking idiots.

119. Do you really believe Hillary would cheer this effort?

[fleabiscuit]

124. She would LHFAO. n/t

[Spitfire of ATJ]

138. You're probably right. She gave a maniacal laugh over Gaddafi.

123. NAILED IT! N/T!

141. Wrong assumption on your part.

I don't dislike Islam. I dislike radical Islam, just as I dislike radical Christianity, radical Judaism, radical Hinduism and radical Buddhism.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

147. That's what they all say. Your posting history is there for all to see. We could ask some of your

tag team partners but fortunately they've been banned for oh guess what......

Your claim reg. radical Hinduism is even more laughable.

[LibDemAlways]

143. You support Hillary. Fine. I like Bernie.

If you put half as much effort into a post telling me why I should support your candidate instead of denigrating me and other Bernie supporters for our choice, you'd be going a long way toward earning our respect. Just saying.

[Control-Z]

144. I linked to this from another site.

I'm so glad I decided to click!

[BainsBane]

145. You make a persuasive case

Better than some of his surrogates.

The whole sardonic(us) album here (great job by Hippie Chick!):

149. Ahh... snarky stinkbait!

Isn't that special?







There's 30 seconds I can't get back.


Welcome to bye bye.

150. That was really, really, really, really clever.

No, really. Do you write for The Onion?

[sheshe2]

152. OMG!

Thanks I needed that.

Brilliant~

[Rose Siding]

153. A+ for the smartest kid in the room

154. Be careful, don't fall!

[moobu2]

155. Do you have any facebook polls showing Bernie won?

to prove you're really leaning towards Bernie?

[SunSeeker]

157. LOL

[Hekate]

158. Splat. I NOTICE BERNIE HAS FREED UP YOUR INNER-SHOUTER, TOO. THIS IS HEALTHY.

[akbacchus_BC]

163. Having read this post, I think this DUer is baiting us to respond!

Just my instinct! Hope he or she does not get anyone banned!

[Jamaal510]

165. Home run!

[yuiyoshida]

174. Home runs are great...

But Touch downs!! A thing of beauty....

[Jamaal510]

175. True, but there's no mighty bat flip in football:

Pryor made Palamalu look like a turtle with that TD, though. I every time I see it.

176. TRUE BUT

a great dance in the Endzone is worth it!!!

177. Congratulations.

I'M THINKING OF HAVING PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST!

I swear that AS a Bernie supporter, my fellow Bernie supporters on DU make me think twice about the company I keep here. How can such a mature and civil candidate attract such immature and uncivil fans?

I will vote for Bernie as a symbolic act in my rock-solidly safe HRC state (she was my senator). But Hillary will be the nominee and the president, it's obvious, it's a hella lot better than any republican idiot or maniac, and she is a complicated person not the Devil incarnate.

I'm old enough to have cast my first vote for Mondale. So don't tell me about lost causes or false hope. I was also a Red Sox fan, so REALLY, I know snatching failure from the jaws of success. It's sad to see democrats acting like republicans. We stand for fairness and that includes the way we fight.

I will never forgive HRC for voting for the Iraq war but I will happily vote for her in the general if she's the dem nominee, which is obviously going to happen. I've also been sending Bernie checks since he was in the house. His campaign is successfully holding the party more accountable to its left. But I don't kid myself that he will win, and he doesn't have to to succeed.

[Squinch]

182. I agree with you all over the place.

I'm undecided, and will vote on Primary day for the candidate who looks most likely to beat the Republicans. Then I will vote for the nominee, whomever it is.

Unlike Bernie himself who I like, I find the Bernie supporters on DU to be insufferable. Though they seem to be under the delusion that "both sides do it" and they are being persecuted, their childish assholery is really in a league of its own.

I think we are luckier now than at any time in my voting life. We have THREE candidates who have great strengths.

And a "President Rubio" or "President Trump" or "President Kasich" would be the end of the world as we know it.

[davidpdx]

181. This type of bullshit snark simply reinforces the entitlement attitude of the Clinton supporters

Honestly you would have been better making logical arguments rather than claiming that Sanders supporters all get their talking points from right-wing websites. Absolutely nothing in your post is constructive. It is purely destructive. So the next time you or any Clinton supporter complains about how decisive DU is, I'll be pointing right back to this post.

[cosmicone]

183. I'll love to see you comment similarly

when Sanders' supporters make destructive posts instead of recommending them.

That would be fair amirite?

[davidpdx]

184. I do

And I never see you do that. So, you are a hypocrite. Plain and simple.

Ps-I'm glad to see that you so quickly answered for Cha.
