Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumMy suggestion
I generally spend my time in the GD(P). I am sure you all have seen all those annoying posts about how it's time for Bernie to get out, time for Bernie supporters to start helping Hillary because Bernie has lost, etc.
All those posts that seem to be there, over and over, just to annoy Bernie supporters.
I'd like to see whenever you see a post like that, make a reply that mirrors their post. For instance, if it is a post about how Bernie should quit, make a mirror point as to why Hillary should quit.
It is useless to try to refute their arguments because they don't even seem to believe what they are saying, they just say it to annoy Bernie supporters. So instead of arguing their points, just say why Hillary should drop out for the good of the party. Let them argue with your points.
I don't know if this makes sense to you but aren't you tired of trying to argue with some of these myths?

(5,217 posts)It's so pervasive and cookie cutter that it is pretty clear that kind of childish bullshit was directed by higher level campaign people.
90% of their shit is psyops. From day 1 we have been told "he can't raise enough money", "he can't win in the GE", "he won't have the ground troops", blah, blah, blah, fucking blah.
They lose on every policy question, so all they have is fucking head games.

GD-P is so much better, now!

(41,600 posts)Stay out of the cesspool until Bernie starts winning all his BLUE PROGRESSIVE states - then go in there and unabashedly GLOAT. I can't wait.
I don't read the cesspool anymore - not since Super Tuesday 1...I did just accidentally post on WillyT's thread he linked to in one of his Bernie Group threads . Otherwise, I avoid the sewer like the plague.
PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

It's a good idea though, if you have the stomach to engage with the toxicity.

(6,007 posts)I'm kinda new timewise, so wasn't thinking of this. Great idea!
Yea, there are certain people whose only motivation in posting is not to inform but to annoy. I'll start the ignoring ASAP
Thanks again.
Ah, after ignoring a lot of people, my list sure looks nicer in the Primaries.
