Oh, ffs, it's started - the Nurses' Union is complaining about red shirts

I don't even want to link that bullshit.

I don't even understand how exactly their logic works.

So because Bernie's branded red - at a caucus - where the goal is to show strength for your candidate - the Hillary folks were cheating by having a Hillary shirt that is also red?

Maybe one of you can help me understand the logic.

Other than a desperate shortage of tinfoil.

Naderite point. Without them and their egomaniac candidate, Gore would have won by an indisputable margin in 2000. Let's hope they and their latest leader stop before they give the country President Trump in 2016.

They care more about being "pure" progressives than they care about the rights of women that generations of Democrats have fought for.

11. They aren't all nurses. Just a politically far left group.

Al Gore wasn't "fringe" enough and they were really pissed off at President Obama for not magically delivering Single Payer.



Their expectations tend to supersede reality.

...all the pictures that were posted on DU and elsewhere showed Clinton supporters handing out blue shirts.

By the way, WTF are "democrats" doing with RED shirts anyway, as if shirts=votes.
