55. This is supposed to offend me?

How laughable is that?

First - prancing about, declaring yourself the 'big winner' is a bit egotistical ... A mere 0.2 separate them ... Barely a smidgen ...

Second - what kind of hubris would think this is a good idea? ... Hillary, should she win the nomination, NEEDS every single voter she can get ...

So, insulting Bernie supporters is going to lead them to support her down the road? ... Think again ...

Mindless silliness resembling a high school football cheering section drawing dick pictures in the rivals bathroom walls ...

WTF does 'The Not Hillary Party' even mean? ... What is the symbolism and why would I be offended by that? ... It's a silly reference, in that it places a good many Democrats in the 'Not Hillary Party' ...

Is the Democratic Party the 'Not Hillary Party'? ... Well I sure am hoping so, and, apparently, this meme implies that ...

Ok, so I'm in the Democratic Party all my life, and I am told it's the 'Not Hillary Party' .. Well Hell, let's celebrate then! ... Sounds GREAT to me ... Let's make sure the Democrats in the Democratic Party turn it into the 'Not Hillary Party' ... Perfect! ... Thanks!

Let's make this clear - Hillary needs ME, but I don't need her ... She insults us, then will want my vote ... Good luck with that ...

This was a tie. Bernie came back from 30 points down to tie the so-called "inevitable" ViseGrip Feb 2016 #7

Clinton got 23 delegates (29 when you toss in Super Delegates, Sanders 21. Not a tie. George II Feb 2016 #26

I wouldn't expect any less. peace13 Feb 2016 #9

It's fine. Agschmid Feb 2016 #10

Do you condemn the image for denying our status as members of the Democratic party? JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #12

No. It doesn't seem to do that... Agschmid Feb 2016 #42

"Not Hillary" Party implies we are not members of the Democratic Party. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #43

I disagree with that bery biased reading. Agschmid Feb 2016 #44

Discussing issues is fine but the vitriol leveled at Clinton is in amazingly bad taste. randome Feb 2016 #13

I appreciated his posts, nothing more. It is an homage. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #22

Already did. Vitriol leveled at one group of supporters 'inspires' more vitriol. randome Feb 2016 #24

Okay. I guess O'Malley supporters 'asked for it' ffs. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #25

To my knowledge, O'Malley supporters have not accused Clinton supporters... randome Feb 2016 #30

Well the image is so broad as to include them as well. It is disgraceful JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #33
