Guys, after seeing the Sanders supporters show their royal hineys in CaliDem's OP

[Number23]

63. See! This is why I asked!

I knew you'd straight shoot and give me the skinny!

There's nothing wrong with Senator Sanders--he's a nice guy. He's sincere, he's well meaning, he is plain spoken. You get what you see with him, make no mistake. He's not the bad guy in all this, though he's getting splashed with some of the sewage put out by those who are pretending/claiming to help him.

I feel exactly the same. He's not the bad guy. He seems to be a pretty straightforward, if remarkably UNremarkable long term senator. I'm not aware of everything he's said or done but what I am aware of, I've not disagreed with at all. So it truly baffles and befuddles me that such are remarkably UNremarkable man who seems to be a pretty decent, straight shooting guy has such hyper, unhinged and "devoted" "supporters" who are tearing down every other Dem candidate in order to hype him up.

What exactly is it about him that makes his fans carry on so much? Someone, I think it was frazzled, posted his achievements in another thread a while back. I kid you not, so far the most remarkable actual ACHIEVEMENT -- not what he's GOING to do, what he's actually DONE -- from Sanders is that he got a post office renamed. Ummmm, how long has he been a Senator again????

"Duuuuuh, I am going to vote for Clinton because I recognize her NAME" was particularly rich. Because, I guess, only "some people" are "smart" and consider things like "the issues," or "experience" or other factors when choosing a candidate.

You know, nothing shocks me here anymore. Absolutely nothing. But sometimes, something comes along that so markedly shows how some white people think about black people, hell how they think about their supposedly "fellow" Democrats and it just kind of gives you pause, you know what I'm saying? That was one of those times as well as the "well, they're voting against their own interests" bit as well. Because the idea that black people, Hispanics, women, Democrats as a whole are so stupid that they are giving Hillary these absolutely MASSIVE approval ratings merely because they know who she is or are too damned stupid to "know what's good for 'em" is one of those statements that says a hell of alot more about the person making it (that they've got their fingers in their ears and their eyes scrunched shut trying DESPERATELY to ignore the truth and the obvious) than about the people they're talking about.
