So much for all those pledges to not shit on positive threads--this is just one of several today, but damn...bitter, bitter, bitter!!!

I really have to wonder what the deal is with some of poor Bernie's "supporters." In another thread a couple of 'em are defending that terrible essay he wrote, that he's ashamed of and distancing himself from. Hey, I'll give anyone a second chance, and believe him when he says it was "dumb" and "stupid" and doesn't reflect his views today, but his "supporters" aren't helping him when they don't go along with HIS stated comments! Instead of saying "Yes, it doesn't reflect his views" they're trying to insist that there's nothing wrong with the essay.

SMH!! I really do wonder, sometimes....

I feel sorry for the sincere people who are trying to maintain a positive attitude--they're being drowned out by some negative, not-too-bright disruptors who aren't even clever.

An Admission That HRC Represents The 1% And Not The Rest Of Us - Thank You For The Honesty cantbeserious Jun 2015 #38

When you use the word all, it includes 100%, yes i can say she represents the 1% also, it is easy. Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #44

YOU used the word 'all' and you're right => '"yes i can say she represents the 1%" U4ikLefty Jun 2015 #55

And the 99% also, the 1% deserves representation also. Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #56

The 1% have their lobbyist & their candidates for president, like Hillary. U4ikLefty Jun 2015 #61

So, they are still entitles to representation. Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #63

They are not ENTITLED to more representation than any 99%'er. U4ikLefty Jun 2015 #67

Or any less Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #70

Yet they are given more, and more....and more by the right-wing Dems, like Hillary. U4ikLefty Jun 2015 #75
