38. Current news that has tremendous impact on the future.
Thu Feb 22, 2018, 09:02 PM
Feb 2018

Before and in 2016, I had a LOT of friends who were enthusiastic, big-time Bernie supporters (Volunteered time and gave monies to his campaign). As of Thursday, February 22nd, 2018, almost ALL of my Bernie supporting friends aren't feeling him they way they had been. I know about 100 Bernie supporters across the country who are @ him. Many started side-eying Bernie after the election, because they said that he never said enough that the ruskies interferred into our elections. He also blamed Hillary for not speaking on it and she most certainly did. Today he changed course on that statement, so who knows where this kerfuffel between Pro-Hillary and Pro-Bernie folks ends up. Groups who should be trying to organize via getting others out to vote etc. to get that fat, racist, sexist, treasonous putin-HOG out of the White House are fighting amongst themselves Most of my friends said that although they still have great admiration and respect for Bernie, and that they don't regret support/vote for him in the primaries vs Hillary, they're not "feeling" him in the way that they used to.
