(463 posts)We're about to encounter the most important midterm election of our lives. But some people just want to hit Left, hit Left, hit Left.
I know a lot of it is bitterness over the 2016 primary. Every Bernie thread here is a 300+ post hatefest. There's so much bitter, I just want to lock everyone up and make old-fashioneds.
But it's so fucking unhelpful, pointless, usually untrue, and damaging that I can barely read most days.
WTF was the hatefest on Ocasia about?! Because she liked Bernie? Quel horror! ("Don't bash Democrats!" is situational, you see).
I just cannot believe the tunnel-vision involved.
I want to post more, but it's hard, because I just cannot conceive that this bitterness and hate against the Left keeps going and going and going.
Hillary lost. She lost! For many, many reasons. Some of them *gasp* were her own.
But it's over. It's been over for nearly two god damned years.
We need unity. We need to reconstitute ourselves as a solid party and political force to be reckoned with. We need everyone. Moderates, independents, liberals, leftists.
We're fighting for our god damned lives, "But Beeeerrrrrnieeeee." Who. the fuck. cares?!
Also, Susan Sarandon is some sort of demi-goddess whose dread powers alone were enough to sway every other soul in the country.
Jesus Christ. People need to get over it, grow the fuck up, and focus on our real enemies.
