Sorry. I thought I'd play Devil's Advocate with myself and pretend to be the Authoritarian, corporotist, monstrous supporter of the Democratic Party that some want to see me as.

What kind of a buffoon posts stupid shit like this on Twitter??

I don't approve of this assholery, but we've done this dance so many times it's fucking sad--primary coming up, Sanders supporters start scouring the Internet for even the slightest thing they perceive to be an abnormality, whine about it, and then use it to invalidate the results of the primary.

It's hilariously transparent and pathetic.

in 24 hours on this site I've heard them defend the tpp, defend banning late term abortions, defend not holding banksters and mortgage fraudsters accountable when they commit fraud even when the company is fined 5 billion dollars for it. They've defended Hillary's kissingeresque sos record(mass bloodshed and country destabilization while being no threat to the US), and they've defended the bullying hillsters do online and posting porn to take down face book pages - which are dishonest campaign tactics. They also deny voter suppression and the deny issues people have faced voting.

Oh, and they supported both torture and the Death Penalty, and one supported the DP while insulting immigrants fleeing violence and while being anti muslim.

These people are real winners.

I'd like them to quit calling themselves liberal and just embrace the truth - NEOCON. And, I'm not sure wtf actually separates them from all out Republicans. I feel like I'm talking to the Koches with the non liberal or democratic values these people are saying they support.

I'm ready to just start collecting links and call it DU's daily greatest hits by the Hillarians.

In fact, I'm now going to. I'm un-hiding these people and am starting a daily Neocons, links thread to their posts.

Update: I just took the about 200 people I put on ignore off ignore - and that was in the whole 1 week I've been here. And this board is too ugly for me to even be on now that they are off ignore. Nope, I can't handle these people. Wow what showed up. First thread- a call it skinner crappola thread by people who can't handle going through and election process.

Update: couldn't do it. Had to start putting them back on ignore. Saw some nasty people with nasty comments that I hid for a good reason.

And act civilized human beings instead of brownshirts?

Jury: Clinton supporters were so disgusted with so called "Bernie Bro" behavior they forced Senator Sanders to publically chastise these supporters for their misbehavior. SOS Clinton should do the same.

26. I backed out of a jury on this one.

Pervert: A person whose behavior deviates from what is acceptable, especially in sexual behavior.

Clearly Bill Clinton's infidelity and sexual behavior in the 1980's and 1990's qualified him for this definition. A whole generation of young voters don't have much knowledge about what he did and the lengths he went to to cover up his highly inappropriate sexual relations. They also probably aren't aware that Hillary defended Bill's behavior all the way through his impeachment.

OP probably should stick tightly to the facts when bringing up this subject, though. Bill's sexual liasons's with empoyees and Hillary's refusal to call him out on that are a fair criticism of both of them, though, as that behavior disgusted Democrats too.

ETA I backed out of the jury because the post could be interpreted to tie the Clinton's to posting porn as is suspected about the man in the other photo, and that would be inaccurate and unfair.

Guy's an asshole, no doubt -- but honestly, this shit happens all the time. Hell, I had yard signs pulled out and thrown in the street in a MAYORAL race a few years back, and I had to retrieve from the trash and repair my Mark Takano sign twice in the last Congressional race.

Standard election stupidity. I guarantee some Bernie fans will do the same stuff. One hopes for their sake they aren't dumb enough to brag about it or share planning on a social media page.

He's a gay bro, though, so you figure he'd have the look down. Gay bros are some of the broiest dressers I've ever met.
