2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)More made up shit about the Vatican visit. [View all]
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107104779"Bernie Sanders invited himself to the Vatican!" BZZZZZZT! Oopsie! No he didn't.
"Bernie Sanders won't speak at the Vatican conference." BZZZZZZT! Oopsie! Yes he was, and he did. And while he was at the Vatican Hillary was selling her soul for $335,000 a plate. Drops mic.
"Bernie didn't meet the Pope!" BZZZZZZT! Oopsie! Yes he did.
"Bernie ambushed the Pope from the bathroom." BZZZZZZT! Oopsie! From the fucking bathroom? Are you all fucking mad? Do you have to just make shit up like this to support your candidate? Who does such a thing other than one without any ethical standards whatsoever?
Here are the fucking facts:
Bernie stayed at the Papal residence at the invitation of the Vatican. He was informed, through channels, that Pope Francis would be departing early, but if Bernie could arise early, there could be a brief meeting. That is what happened.
Hillary supporters, get the fuck over it. It is not worth losing your already very low public credibility over this.
If Hillary manages to win the nod for November it will only be because the public is so blinkered blind that they cannot see how idiotic Hillary supporters are.
Don't get me started about their opinions on little finches. One had better bring on the fainting couches for that topic.
I have a better idea. Let's get together. I tried that with the Hillary Clinton group. For naught. (They all passed out about a little birdie.) Nevertheless, I am willing to reach out. After all, we are going to have to do so or we lose in November.
Maybe some people don't care, but I do.
Let's start by dropping the Vatican visit, which even Pope Francis says was not political. (Apparently, Hillary supporters disagree, so they will have to take the initiative here.)
Where do we go from here?

Yeah to a Sanders shill, who isn't to be trusted seeing they misrepresented proxy cred in the past

The first part was pretty fair - it was some of the other stuff that came off wrong.
