You mocked me for having a positive self image. That's inexcusable and you are trying to bully the wrong guy.

You need to be ashamed of yourself for this.

in praise of Bernie Sanders [View all] Cary Jan 2016 OP

It kind of cuts off discussion.... daleanime Jan 2016 #1

What facts are you referring to? Cary Jan 2016 #4

Neither Clinton, Sanders, or O'Malley would approve of a lot of the verbiage used... NCTraveler Jan 2016 #2

if you think this is about them posting here you miss my point Cary Jan 2016 #5

I don't think I missed your point at all. NCTraveler Jan 2016 #6

Not quite. Cary Jan 2016 #8

Much of the conflict here is. NCTraveler Jan 2016 #9

Bernie doesn't trash talk candidates. mmonk Jan 2016 #3

So why would his supporters try to do it for him? Cary Jan 2016 #7

Same reason candidate Obama with his positive rhetorical style had supporters here attacking others Bluenorthwest Jan 2016 #14

So you approve. Cary Jan 2016 #16

First, you don't get to bark at me. What the fuck gave you the idea that I approve? Bluenorthwest Jan 2016 #17

How did I insult you? Cary Jan 2016 #19

Adults don't respond to a complex statement with a snappy 'not good enough'. Bluenorthwest Jan 2016 #23

Really? Adults don't say a response isn't good enough? Cary Jan 2016 #35

It certainly is not helpful. But we do have to differentiate between Douglas Carpenter Jan 2016 #10

How about talking about what the candidates' policies will be going forward? Cary Jan 2016 #11

of course we should talk about their policies going forward Douglas Carpenter Jan 2016 #12

Too much spin. Too much b.s. Cary Jan 2016 #13

I agree that happens too much Douglas Carpenter Jan 2016 #15

Yes yes and yes. You got it. Cary Jan 2016 #20

But the record in a constructive way, without spin Cary Jan 2016 #30

well, certainly using emotionally charged trigger words is not helpful at all Douglas Carpenter Jan 2016 #31

It's more than that Cary Jan 2016 #33

well both sides seemed convinced that they otherside it doing it more Douglas Carpenter Jan 2016 #38

Come on Douglas... Cary Jan 2016 #41

I agree. But, unfortunately we do see people across the political spectrum Douglas Carpenter Jan 2016 #46

would you consider a post like this to be just a bit impolite? Douglas Carpenter Jan 2016 #51

It seems to me the author is talking about Bernie Cary Jan 2016 #52

well, if your point is that people should disagree in a civil manner then Douglas Carpenter Jan 2016 #55

I never said it was one sided Cary Jan 2016 #56

I had the opposite experience. Kentonio Jan 2016 #47

agree 10000000000000000000% Douglas Carpenter Jan 2016 #50

Then you agree with me? Cary Jan 2016 #53

Agree with you on which point? Kentonio Jan 2016 #54

That is the point Cary Jan 2016 #57

In that case, yes I do agree with you. And yes that is what should matter. Kentonio Jan 2016 #59

I've pointed that out to people who attack me and they pretty much tell me it's my fault they attack Cary Jan 2016 #60

I don't see any point in making the effort to point it out to people. Kentonio Jan 2016 #61

This is the same as it was in 2008 to 2010. Cary Jan 2016 #62

I wasn't here then, but I hear a lot of people saying it's worse this time. Kentonio Jan 2016 #64

Have you seen this? Cary Jan 2016 #65

The exact same thing happened at the Hillary supporter site, so yes both sides have done this. Kentonio Jan 2016 #66

I'll ask her for her side of that. Cary Jan 2016 #68

Depends on what you call provoke I suppose. Kentonio Jan 2016 #69

Here: beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #70

Thanks for that. Kentonio Jan 2016 #71

I am not the arbiter of anything. I am merely stating my opinion based on my own experience. Cary Jan 2016 #72

Yes your side has done that, repeatedly. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #67

How could i possibly disagree with your post ? JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #18

Does that insult make you feel better? Cary Jan 2016 #21

I have not insulted you. I am commenting on the nature of your response JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #24

Oh please. Cary Jan 2016 #27

You are incorrect. JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #37

Except I never said I was superior to you Cary Jan 2016 #42

Superior to what then? Superior is a comparison, implicitly if not explicitly. JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #48

I told you it's not about you Cary Jan 2016 #49

While some whine about your specific wordage, I applaud your intent. randome Jan 2016 #22

Thanks Cary Jan 2016 #25

So, what's your point? Bernie is his own person as each poster here is. morningfog Jan 2016 #26

I've made a simple point. Cary Jan 2016 #28

I asked because I fail to see your point. morningfog Jan 2016 #29

Okay, I will try because you seem to me to be asking in good faith. Cary Jan 2016 #32

You call out one candidate's supporters and wonder morningfog Jan 2016 #39

My point is not muddled Cary Jan 2016 #43

His supporters don't meet that standard... brooklynite Jan 2016 #34

Too broad... Cary Jan 2016 #36

They are both "fine", and "virtually identical", because you deem them so? Bernin4U Jan 2016 #40

I don't expect everyone to understand decency Cary Jan 2016 #44

When I was in college on the first leg of my superior education, Cary Jan 2016 #45

You are right. Bernie is so much better than the rest of us, thereismore Jan 2016 #58

Thanks. Cary Jan 2016 #63
