Feeling the Bern

Sun Apr 3, 2016, 12:47 AM Apr 2016

Is it just me or have you also noticed less and less pro-HRC postings on DU?

The Camp Weathervane people seem do go into random posts, lob a bomb, get a massive counter attack and then disappear.

The pro-Bernie posts are rampant, but the pro-HRC ones have almost disappeared.

But there are no old, bold, pilots.



PS: ETA

I worked on Shuttle on-board navigation.

From ALT to STS-4

So I've met old pilots, and I've met bold pilots.

It would be nice to have it before NY so voters can see it's not just a right-wing smear.

There was a big flurry of over-the-top abusive bullshit coming from all these "redeemed martyrs of the jury system" proving, once and for all, the reality that they were getting hides because they made jerk-ass posts, not because they were Jesus on the fucking cross. Threats, intimidation, harassment, all sorts of shit to try to scare off Bernie supporters.

And then I trashed GDP, and have been content ever since.

And If we take Wisconsin it will be do or die for them in NY, and they know it.

"Hillary generates more enthusiasm"

Both of which are bunk. The rest is negative and increasingly off the wall. As others have pointed out, I think Team Hill's tacticians haven't rolled out new talking points due to various fires they keep having to put out.

I remember how shrill the calls were for Bernie to back out a few weeks ago. I wondered out loud what they knew about what was coming that would make them panic like that. The fact that they are shrugging off Hillary's massive missteps this week suggests something outside the campaign is worrying them more.

Her supporters might have started a lot of threads, but most were just bashing Bernie or Bernie Bros. Most the rest were just posting national polls as if that means anything in June. Now they stopped doing that because well the gap is very narrow now.

Getting that out in the open forced SOME portion of her supporters here reconsider their blind, fanatical devotion to HRC... at ALL costs... and their padded-cell room hatred of all things Sanders.

Including Sanders himself.
