2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The one thing that will stop Bernie Sanders.....his supporters [View all]TM99
(8,352 posts)This tactic was tested here, and now it is on display out there. More Rovian/Atwater bullshit is all this is.
The posts, and now blogs, always start the same - I support, I love, I respect, I admire Bernie Sanders. Then comes the typical statements - but he can't win, he does not have the money, he is a problem with minorities, etc. Then comes the the last part - but his supporters are what are really bad and will lose it for him.
The 'Progressive Unicorn Brigade'? Fuck that bullshit. The asshole reveals himself for the Clinton shill that he truly is. No, sweetpea, the only self-righteous assholes are the Clinton lackeys who will drive the majority progressives on the left - both party faithful Democrats and leftist Independents - so far away from Clinton, that if (and it is going to be a big if) she does win the primary, she will surely lose the general. The base, which by the way, is not the New Dem neo-liberal conserva-dems, will not vote her into the White House.
Now if you will excuse me, I am off to be meet with some more self-righteous asshole members of the PUB so that we can get a real progressive Democratic nominee.
