Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Too little, too late: Sanders condemns his supporters' 'ugly, personal attacks' against Warren [View all]I have been big supporter of Bernie but I have never thought of myself as a member of a cult! I know a lot of Bernie supporters and have not met a single one that has acted in any way similar to the negative acts above. It's nuts to think that anyone would do such stupid sh*t. It should be condemned at every step. That being said, in all my time reading the DU I have never seen such a negative attitude directed toward anyone (that has a D by their name) like what is being thrown at Bernie. The Bernie hate early on was very surprising. I have only posted a few comments here but have been reading just about daily for years, so my voice, I'm sure means very little to anyone who may read this, but I thought some of you should know that all the negative stuff makes some, not all of you, sound like the people that you are calling out on the Bernie side. Some of you sound pretty vicious. I will vote for any Democrat over that orange piece of puss that is now staining the Whitehouse, but I like Bernie cause of his policies and his consistency. He has been for the same things for nearly 30 years. That means something to me, I'm 67 and retired for two years. He is what is he is, an FDR type Democrat that is an independent and that mistakenly has called himself a Democratic Socialist. So what. Isn't this about policy and what we want to do for our country? He has a very large 'grassroots' support, and call me crazy but I think that is what it will take to beat the 'rump'. As much as I think Joe is a nice guy I just don't think he can really stir the base. But time will tell and I hope I'm wrong. Oh, I hope I'm wrong. My fear is we may be looking at Hillary 2.0, but if it's Joe, he's got my vote for sure.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
