Bernie saw fit to apologize. Apparently he and his fans aren't on the same page. DanTex Apr 2016 #1

we dont have to be in agreement on everything 2pooped2pop Apr 2016 #2

You certainly don't. You can say all the offensive things that you want, and Bernie can't stop you. DanTex Apr 2016 #4

well, there are rules on this board. so I can't say what I really feel about Hillary 2pooped2pop Apr 2016 #5

But there are no rules at Bernie rallies. Everyone gets to see the nastiness and the smears. DanTex Apr 2016 #13

awww you try so hard 2pooped2pop Apr 2016 #80
