Thanks for your "advice", but when I need it, I certainly won't turn to a Bernie supporter. Tarheel_Dem Jun 2015 #75

Right kenfrequed Jun 2015 #76

Fortunately, I don't have to be held to account for what "you think", and it matters not what "you Tarheel_Dem Jun 2015 #78

I don't like bernie's support for the F-35 cali Jun 2015 #5

So anything that doesn't align with your view of Bernie is a lie? LordGlenconner Jun 2015 #11

no, your lordship cali Jun 2015 #21

What specifically was bullshit... joeybee12 Jun 2015 #82

What an absurd distortion of another DUer's post Jim Lane Jun 2015 #36

"3rd Way Socialist" Jamaal510 Jun 2015 #62

What does it say that this is rec'd exclusively by HRC supporters? whatchamacallit Jun 2015 #14

Or it may have something to do with asking for some damned honesty once in a while. NuclearDem Jun 2015 #32

The author of the article was worried about Sanders' supporting Hillary. merrily Jun 2015 #56

I think that if people are mad at Bernie for supporting Israel, fine Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #86

and it's an article from the International Socialist Organization m-lekktor Jun 2015 #47

Really? merrily Jun 2015 #55

It's pretty fucking funny. Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #51

I find this interesting. Especially this comment: Raine1967 Jun 2015 #15

The whole thing is an interesting read. I had no idea that socialists had issues with Bernie Number23 Jun 2015 #25

I'm guessing those socialists would have issues with everyone. FSogol Jun 2015 #30

Yep. The same thing many folks have been saying about alot of Obama's "left" detractors for a while Number23 Jun 2015 #38

for some people, no one is pure enough, it seems. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #41

That's why I call him a mainstream Democrat. Democratic Socialism is an established wing of the DNC. freshwest Jun 2015 #43

Awesome post, fw Number23 Jun 2015 #48

Thank you very much! freshwest Jun 2015 #49

+1, Well said. n/t FSogol Jun 2015 #68

You'd think a Socialist would know that a Democratic Socialist is not a socialist. merrily Jun 2015 #57

... handmade34 Jun 2015 #19

Yup kenfrequed Jun 2015 #66

I do not agree with him on his gun control issues either. PowerToThePeople Jun 2015 #20

Nowhere Depaysement Jun 2015 #34

Yup, such pointless drivel wins an ignore LondonReign2 Jun 2015 #80

You're right. You guys aren't thin skinned as all hell at all. Number23 Jun 2015 #84

Post 31 is a good example. And the other five or so posts in this thread, which you apparently are Number23 Jun 2015 #37

Once again, I thank Sir Skinner for granting us the Ignore feature. AKA, Obama's 'Bucket!' List! freshwest Jun 2015 #50

LOL LondonReign2 Jun 2015 #79

That works for me! Make it a double! Number23 Jun 2015 #83

Oh yeah.. Sanders is a real "hawk"! But, according to this person's opinion.. from your link,vt Cha Jun 2015 #39

I would like for him to officially say he is. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #42

Please see Reply 52. merrily Jun 2015 #58

Poor DU Starry Messenger Jun 2015 #46

This author doesn't support the Democratic Party in general. Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #53

Not take the OP seriously? Hillary supporters have applauded him or her. merrily Jun 2015 #59

Like I said upthread Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #61

Sadly, they were just too upset that Bernie was not socialist enough to read it all. merrily Jun 2015 #64

Well, they do think that something that's a gotcha for Sanders BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #63

Look who else is "very vewy concerned" ..... bettyellen Jun 2015 #94

A literal interpretation of writing is pretty much always the wrong one BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #95

I'm sowwy! Was your OP about faux "concerns" deemed identic posts to be? bettyellen Jun 2015 #96

It was a way to have a genuine talk about real issues BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #97

Except you have this delusion that outside your group everyone is a troll- so it's okay to lie and bettyellen Jun 2015 #99

Why do you hate me bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #100

I don't. But the bizarre accusations of many good long term DUers being operatives are ridiculous bettyellen Jun 2015 #102

You mad bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #104

You trolling us here in GD- where people actually share your concerns? bettyellen Jun 2015 #105

What's wrong bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #106

"He marched on Selma, what else do they want!?" bettyellen Jun 2015 #109

That's fucked up bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #110

It is super fucked up, and sad to see at DU, "Brother Ivan" bettyellen Jun 2015 #111

Are you sad bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #112

Could you be more or a condescending jerk, Ivan? bettyellen Jun 2015 #113

Did you alert bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #114

Well, someone did ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2015 #115

It certainly wasn't me BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #116

That alert fail was the cherry on top of an absolutely AWESOME subthread sundae Number23 Jun 2015 #117

Thank you! Haven't seen the "repeat with petulance" routine since I last babysat bettyellen Jun 2015 #123

gosh did I ever see that coming, lol. bettyellen Jun 2015 #119

Yes. Worried that Bernie is a Democratic Socialist and worried that he is not socialist enough. merrily Jun 2015 #118

The only one that works right now is "he's unelectable" BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #120

Whether it's Hillary or Sanders or Jeb or anyone else , it's too way early to take polls to heart. merrily Jun 2015 #121

Agreed BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #122

Do we really want to get into who is more of a Hawk? Kalidurga Jun 2015 #60

Find me a candidate that agrees with me 100% on my all of my issues magical thyme Jun 2015 #67

Bernie has his skeletons in the closet...this issue is just one... Sancho Jun 2015 #69

If he has skeletons they will come out LordGlenconner Jun 2015 #72

What's most frustrating is a failure to do what Bernie says to do.... Sancho Jun 2015 #74

You think attack ads are going to be run vs. Bernie for being insufficiently committed to Marxism? Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #85

Attack ads against Bernie won't be necessary... Sancho Jun 2015 #87

Ah, I see. So you didn't, actually, read the article despite claiming it illustrates his Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #88

"The Democratic voters have NOT come out for recent elections.".....You're in Florida, huh? Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #89

I believe it was President Obama who pointed out the number of voters in the last election... Sancho Jun 2015 #90

And if there's a problem with turnout, wouldn't the smart analyst want to look to where turnout Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #91

Haha..pot has nothing to do with turnout here... Sancho Jun 2015 #92

Well, we'll see. Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #93
