Bernie Sanders to speak at U of T

[HughBeaumont]

130. I made a FACTUAL statement. Two, actually.

One - there ARE at least one to two threads almost DAILY that refight the primaries. They can be rotated around a lot of things - usually hatred for Bernie, which I'm goddamned SICK of. It's almost as if they preferred Hillary be coronated rather than be strengthened by a primary challenger, which she was.

Two - it just goes to show that, IN AMERICA (NOT SINGLING OUT ANY DU POSTER, FOR FUCK'S SAKE), there's never a limit to how right wing you can be . . . but if you're even slightly to the left of things, you're politically unviable. Or you "don't have the votes". Or "ponies" or some such stupid shit.

This statement caused what can be construed as a FIGURATIVE "Dogpile" - lots of DU's members who don't like me for some reason (maybe it's because I criticize Democrats when they support or vote for stupid shit like war, job offshoring, Republican economic policy or not supporting a multi-payer health system) swarmed it and piled on unnecessarily. They just CAN'T LET THINGS GO.

YOU'RE the one equating an innocuous FIGURATIVE statement to "concentration camp" atrocities and going on about such statements not being constructive in electing Democrats. That kind of says more about YOU than it does me.

Conservative Democrats (and sorry that anyone wants to deny until the cows come home (FIGURATIVE STATEMENT!!! DON'T ASK ME IF I HATE ANIMALS NOW!!), but they DO exist) have done more harm to this party than any "Bernie Sanders" has. The "Big Tent" has done nothing but push the Overton Window to the right. That's how I feel. Shoot me if y'all don't like it, but still it is so.
