Bill Clinton Says Bernie Sanders Supporters Are Like The Left-Wing Tea Party, Warns Not To "Reward"

145. Really?

This is how you think you're going to win the election for HRC? Comparing Sanders supporters to bigots, rednecks, idiots, skinheads, far right nuts who want to eliminate the government?

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. If the notion that we want (and maybe, eventually, can have) universal healthcare, free college tuition, paid maternity leave and other things makes us fringe, then shit, I guess I'm fringe. There's a reason we're polarized, Bill, it's because the republican party has morphed into a group of extremists that would make Hitler proud of their authoritarianism, "Nationalism", overall goals and philosophies.

Damn right we're polarized. Won't do much good to sit in the center when it keeps moving in such an ugly direction. Time to stand up for what we believe in - because it is the right thing to stand up for.

The left wing doesn't have a tea party, what it does have, are a lot of people who are sick of being ignored. What it does have are a lot of poor people - the sort that you and your ilk, Mr. Clinton, like to pretend do not exist. No, we don't expect rewards from your lot, we expect insults, ignorance, idiotic statements, apathy - and overall, a failure to act. I think we get what we expect there.

Seems like every time the Clintons say something, it pushes me further in Bernie's direction. I'm sick of this crap.

I am a shameless, proud, raging, angry liberal. I am the 99%.
