Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumChecked my unfollow list Today.
I had to unfollow a few my my friends over the past two months after they began flat out insulting anyone who wasn't a Bernie supporter. I'll play ball, but I'm not going to be insulted by my friends in response. I checked them out today to see if they've improved at all. Nope. Somehow they've only gotten worse. Every win, every Hillary vote. Its a conspiracy. The democrats are the enemy. Everyone is an idiot. Its like nothing I've ever seen before.
What I did see was that none of their posts have a single response. No likes, nothing. I guess I wasn't the only one to cut off relations. Seriously, who in their right mind wants to wake up to that kind of reckless hate on their wall every day.
I copied a link to the most ignorant and ridiculous post of them all. For your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

(41 posts)50 points to the first HRC fan who can actually read the full article I posted. I tried three times, but just couldn't get myself to do it. I mean, its just garbage on a whole nother level. The words literally sent stinging pains through my cranium, like I'm pounding my head against a live wire. Its amazing.

(1,968 posts)I think I lost a few sentences when I had a little brain bleed from extreme exposure, so probably not.
no, but I didn't even manage to scan all the way through, so your doing pretty good!

(1,359 posts)ETA: Bernie is Jesus, our strategy should be to threaten the DNC like a bunch of terrorists, leave the Democratic Party after the primary, yada, yada, yada.
No GOP attacks on him skew his GE polling, anyone who read that and believes it already wasn't a Democrat anyway, and the convention is NOT going to be contested. I'm almost angry that people still use, and believe, that fairy tale.
I wish I knew why it was necessary to line break so much and make the page 100,000 scrolls long.

(1,968 posts)The delusion, inaccuracies, mathematical jiggery-pokery (thank you, Scalia), and flat out lies in that article are rather overwhelming.
The writer seems like another very loud Bernie or Bust sort that nobody's going to listen to or care about in a few months...because there won't be more than a few left, whining piteously in the wilderness.

(24,396 posts)The assertions of fantasy as fact throughout the screed is quite remarkable (ex: "Sanders lost 3.2-million votes when Indies weren't allowed to vote in the NY primary."
Sadly, this kind of rank stupidity is red meat for the reality challenged Bernie Brigade.

(10,476 posts)It's like this generation of Sanders fans has been taught not only to write in 140-character limits, but also to think within those confines as well.

(41 posts)Every paragraph can not be longer then a single sentence, or he may lose his readers.
I think this hints at one truth I know about Bernie supporters...
Yeah, many of them are young college students, but those same young college students also don't buy into this ridiculous bust movement. No, crap like this was built for an entirely different demographic.

(27,811 posts)It definitely shows a lack of nuance, but that seems fairly typical of the Sanders campaign overall. I'm not saying that Bernie Sanders himself doesn't have the ability to nuance, but it's not how he's made his way politically over the last 30-odd years.

(10,014 posts)People like that are in their own little bubble of delirium. I thought corporatist, third way and war monger were bad enough but now she is responsible for genocide and has blood on her hands. Do people who talk like that realize that outside of the leftist bubble of self-perpetuating outrage , rational and sane people thinks they're nuts? Do they understand that they are spiraling out of control due to their frustration? Do they really believe that Sanders is the answer to their own personal problems? Do they realize they come across as self-righteous sanctimonious shriekers?
Guess not.

Surely they're not that bloody stupid.
Edited to add: my favorite part was accusing her of selling arms to terrorists to make money.
