I keep politics out of my real life.
I have a friend who is all in for Bernie when I was asked
by him what I thought of our candidates I gave a nice safe reply.
I said I thought either would do a better job than any Republican.
HIs head almost exploded He started on this deranged rant about Hillary
mostly RW talking points. Nowhere in his rant could he tell me one single thing
that Bernie had done.
All talking points. Bernie will stand up to wall street.
WTF does that even mean.

I'm not surprised at all that Hillary has much deeper and broader support
or that the people who support her don't flaunt it.

I'm not changing my mind so there's no reason to debate a Bernie voter.
Bernie has turned out to not even be real. Bernie is a wish.

I hate it when politicians talk about the silent majority to make an unsupported position seem stronger.
Hillary supporters are a true silent majority.

You don't see them at huge rallies. Nobody is hanging out with the pope. They're mostly not
part of the hipsta phenom but we're a huge majoritey and Bernies dismal failure in the primaries is proof of that.
