In reply to the discussion: Why Trump Voters Are Not Welcome In My House This Holiday [View all]Feeling the Bern
(3,839 posts)127. Drop it. Just because I feel the bern doesn't mean I support nazis
I don't follow lock step behind any pol. I may support many of his positions, but I don't support being kind to nazis.
If you do, more power to you. We are done. I will not let you flamebait or hijack,

10: People who think that because I "feel the Bern," I need to be nice to people because Bernie is. Sorry. . .Bernie needs to take whatever bullshit his handed his way and deal with it in a respectful manner. I am a writer, historian, and producer of films in Asia. I don't need to do that. I am a private citizens. I support Bernie's positions and people like him (Gabbard, Kucinich, my Congresscritter Raul G from Tucson, Wyden, Whitehouse, Brown, etc), but I will go full pitbull attack dog on people in a second. I don't care about consensus building. I want to smash the otherside with so many bricks to the head that their positions are left bleeding in the moonlight. I am tired of my side taking the fucking high rode, getting the legs chopped out from underneath us and the looking down at those who use the GOP and tea-party's tactics against them. Nice guys finish last. "We they go low, we go high" means "we are too spineless to take them on on their level, so they will go low and at least we can look ourselves in the mirror while we lick our wounds after getting our asses handed to us in every election pretty much since 2010."Which finally, leads to:
Please stop now. I have no more desire to debate someone who thinks it's "Be Kind of Nazis" week.
