Waaaaay back in the spring, I came here to lurk a bit. Hadn't even decided who I liked in the primary yet. And then my head exploded when I read a pro-Sanders thread that said if you didn't support Sanders you could not call yourself a real liberal. It was just so ignorant, pointless and divisive. Last go round I knew many, many liberal activists who supported Clinton. People with total credibility who put hours and hours of volunteer work into liberal causes. And some ignorant internet warrior, probably never knocked a door, dialed a phone, or even voted in a primary before, is here as the liberal gate keeper. Bite me.

It gets so annoying, the endless propaganda. It is BORING. I am BORED and ANNOYED by Bernie Sanders, a candidate I mostly agree with, thanks to his clueless supporters. I want to have some sort of substantive discussion about something other than how Bernie is soooooo super-awesome and badazzzz. And about how it is CLEAR that anyone who does not agree with their opinion is an idiot (they have PROOF!), or not liberal enough of some shit. I tore into a Facebook friend for posting misleading and stupid pro-Sanders polling info that was actually spin by some b-team, wannabe GOP operatives. But it was pro-Sanders and anti-Clinton, so he posted it right up. I was on Twitter today, trying to figure out what was going on in Minneapolis because there was nothing in the mainstream press, and they are spamming the BLM hashtags with non-sequitur posts about their candidate. I guess they think this is helping with his image problem in the black community? No, it is not. Making an activist/breaking news hashtag about black protesters getting shot in front of a police station by a couple of white guys in ski-masks about YOU and YOUR candidate is not helping. It is myopic, self centered and BORING. You know what helps a candidate? Work. Get on the phones, knock some doors, have a house party. Get off the inter webs and do some damn work (AND GET OFF MY LAWN WHILE YOU ARE AT IT) :shakescane:

I miss posting at DU. I don't have a huge post count, but I keep my star current. I usually post a bunch during elections or big national stories. Would love to talk about Syria, but the top three are four stories on the Greatest are about someone named Killer Mike introducing Sanders at a rally and one about how suck Hillary Clinton supporters are. Sigh. I guess I need to stick to LBN.
