If they're knowledgable of the ins and outs of the internet ****ups .. they will.

You and Roderick Morrow.. and, there's more but not remembering their names right now..

The internet wants Bernie Sanders to know he isn't black

http://www.democraticunderground.com/118718576

Just found this on the google, too.. it's gotten lost in the noise..

".... From his 2007 vote against Immigration Reform to todays #BernieSoBlack hashtag, that ... over the tone-deafness of his response and that of too many of his fans. ..... And we know that BLM, as a matter of social justice,is a democratic value."

Blast from last month..

Trevor Noah smacks down Bernie Sanders’ fans: “Online doesn’t count”

He pointed out that, according to CNN’s first poll since the debate, Hillary Clinton was declared to be the “clear winner,” and “ruled the stage” by 62 percent. Simultaneously, numerous other CNN talk show hosts claimed that Bernie Sanders had won “hands down” online.

Apparently Sanders was the most Tweeted, Facebooked, and Google-searched Democratic candidate of the night, proving particularly popular with millennials.

But as Noah saliently pointed out: “The Internet is saying that Bernie Sanders won the debate and the media is saying, ‘sorry, the Internet doesn’t apply here.’ It’s sort of the same reason your geeky cousin is still a virgin: online doesn’t count.”

Just a damn snip//

Bernie Sanders’ black problem

Sanders decided to tell Stephanopoulos that black voters would love him if they just understood things better, an idea that is uncomfortably similar to the conclusion reached by the Republican Party’s infamous 2012 “autopsy report,” and an echo of the GOP’s point man on minority outreach, Rand Paul.

Sorry it's so long.. There's just too much of this particular history on sanders and his supporters to cover.

Speaking at a rally at LeMoyne-Owen, a historically black college here, Mrs. Clinton

introduced the tax credit and, without evoking Mr. Sander’s name, told the crowd, “You deserve a raise — not a tax increase, and I’m not going to stand for that.”

It's so true and if that's a "jab" then so be it.. good on Hillary.

Now there's some thread saying A lot of people posted their real names here.. well good on them..

but not really the point,

They revealed their own names.. did not take the liberty of posting someone else's name for them.

They're so fucking big into privacy except when it comes to someone else's.

They always do that. It's their Go To excuse for why bernie just doesn't cut it with so many

of the voters.. women and African Americans.

Horrors.. not everyone thinks Bernie is all that!

Well done, Sheepshank. I'm proud to post there. thank goodness there are more political

boards to post on than just DU.. now with its " 85%" berni fan posters.. the Alert and Hide system where you have to walk on damn eggshells and can't say what I really of sanders without getting censored.

I love having a place to be among friends away from these people who did nothing but crap on President Obama all these years. Who is now more popular than ever in the real world. This little microcosm of hate for him has meant nothing.

"Yet here to are, in full blown ignorance carrying on as if you know it all....and carrying on the legacy that Steve O is trying to walk away from."

Nothing new there.

Shake my head, brave.. evidently some of BS's fans can't fathom how someone could like him

and then be turned off so much by the way too many of them abused #BLM activists, that it would turn anyone against Bernie himself.

Well, I saw it happen. They're campaigning for Bernie in his name all over the net and they aren't doing him any favors. And, Surprise.. It's not really important if they believe it or not .. just more denial for them.

If someone is running for office.. they better make damn sure they have people representing them, who will make a good case for their candidate without attacking anyone.

He has such excellent delivery.. he reminded me a little bit of Johnny Carson.. he says

something "funny" and then he gets this look on his face waiting for their reaction.

That was so .. of course I missed the first time around.. Thank You!

Sorry, didn't see this, she. Please send me a special invitation like I did you for the BOG!

Yes, he's so fortunate to be so comfortable in who he is. And, our country is blessed to have him for President. Even though there are too many that are on the junk pile of history because they do not appreciate him. They only get off on the propaganda that feeds the beast.

From your link..

10. When he straight up played the GOP during his 2015 State of the Union Address with this back to back sting: "I have no more campaigns to run… I know, because I won both of them."

10. Let's not forget, when he made this face after he was asked about his nuclear plans against Russia at a White House press conference in 2014.



Haha.. I noticed there's two #Tens!

One of my fave pics..

11.When he let this little boy touch his hair in the Oval Office and got us all right in the feels.



Excellent OP, she.. too bad many more haven't seen it! It's precious!
