Back in the day when we had disagreements we talked about them. Right now it's just a bunch of people yelling past each other. I am done with that at least for now. I will not respond to nonsense. And I won't respond to people who think Hillary is okay with all her bad judgements. The reason being is if you bring up something you think she did that is terrible and it's something that a year ago we all thought was terrible, they are like nya nya nya can't hear ya.

And the vast majority of those posters all "claim" to be supporting Bernie. Hell there is a site that many of the posters here go to, with over a 1,000 members that have posts that actually say it's OK for Trump to win so Hillary and the "3rd way" can be taken out of action. All kinds of posts about NOT voting for Hillary, but allowing Trump to win is just plain republican trolls, or complete idiots one of the two.

Do you post over there?

A. You reap what you so, David Crock
B. Trump and Hillary have so many negatives, that he could give them a run for their money in a general.
C. The GOP screws Trump out of the nomination and it's a 4 way race = Bernie wins!

It's going to be one hell of a summer!

The Clinton Foundation's pay to play could be very real! I hope it isn't, but if there is something, the Clintons have a lot of guts to jeopardize the entire Democratic Party in their zeal to return to the White House.

Are you trying to alienate Bernie supporters six months before the general election? Are you going to try to win in November or just look for an alibi after you lose it?

Thu Apr 21, 2016, 07:56 PM

There is a phrase that needs to be coined here. The phase is, "Blow-Back!" It happens when a group of disenfranchise people find others of similar insult and proclaim by any means necessary a collective, "FUCK-YOU!" and mean it for a lifetime. Nothing short of stupid with this tactic here.

Political parties of all stripes have appeared and disappeared over the years. No political party is immune from this process. The Democratic Party will become the Party of History and Brock will be the first to leave. Rats always abandon the ship first.

As far as the label, "Bernie Bros" goes, Brock can stick the, "Camp Weather Vain" logo up his ass. There it is, all Secretary Hillary Clinton has is one big Public Relations Campaign, nothing of substance.

Right wing trolls have been here for some time, some have been banned, others are still coming in on a daily basis, and the vast majority of them all "claim" to be supporting Bernie. Karl Rove's right wing army trying to destroy the Democratic party.

college, the kind that ran for student government and came to final exams with their blue book exams already filled out with the answers they got from their fraternity's database. And there's old David Brock, still trying to look like a rich college kid with his private school/Harry Potter sense of style and his "hilarious" methods of pulling tricks on the "idiot peasants." What a goon.

My message to Brock and his Band of SwiftBoaters:
[font size=3]Do your DAMNEST![/font]

We outnumber you in bodies and enthusiasm.

Hey Brock. I got your smear campaign right here! (Guess what I'm grabbing)


When do we get to the part where Hillary is supposed to unite the party?
I don't see that happening.
Hillary WILL unite one Party...The Republicans, who will come out like zombie hoards to vote against her. It won't matter who the Republican nominee is.

So, Brock and the DNC.. go ahead and alienate even MORE supporters of Bernie style democracy and independents. You will reap the whirlwind in November, and then try to blame us while crying about how stupid the voters are.


Hillary has made a lot of mistakes this campaign, but the worst error of judgement was collaborating with a manure ball like Brock.
