142. You hate Bernie Sanders because of random internet people?
Tue Jul 21, 2015, 12:27 PM
Jul 2015

How many of those Twitter people are actually Hillary supporters baiting people? We have seen their tactics, and they will literally do ANYTHING to smear Sanders and his supporters. How many of them are Republicans? It is impossible to know.

Like I said, hatred poisons integrity and clouds reason.

If you want to be treated like a five year old child, then vote for Hillary because that is exactly what will happen when she hands more power to her oligarchist financial backers who will in turn strip even more from the voting and civil rights acts.
