Bernie group: I won't name-names or link to specific threads or replies ...

...but I would ask my fellow Bernie supporters if they have also noticed a slight uptick in cleverly worded posts that attempt to suggest some bs memes, ahead of what they now know will clearly be a contested convention?

I won't say any more than that, read between the lines and look at what I'm talking about. Do you see how clever they think they are? Karl Rovian type stuff, right there.

I wonder who we have in our own midst with just such a Rovian bent?

back in the 19th Century. It's because he was a Jew. The same fukn' mindset applies here.

Nursing a cocktail, so to speak, and reading a similar post in a very closed, very selective group, and wondering if I should reply to that particular silly post.

Thank you for saving me the trouble.

Interesting also that many of that aforementioned closed, selective group ignore the fact that their candidate refused to suspend her campaign when it was obvious in 2008 that the other candidate would win the nomination.

Admittedly, I am not in the loop enough to follow this thread very well, so the subtle references look odd. Just explaining how others might see the up thread post.

We were talking about..... naming un-Bernie people... but in a round about manner.

That is what guillaumeb were doing... You have to put your..humorous.. thinking cap on to get it.

back when it was obvious the wheels fell off..thus leading inevitably to this contested convention.

that having David Brock on one's campaign would necessarily indicate that one is not interested in dealing in fairness, in decency or in honesty? And wouldn't that necessarily mean that one is a flawed candidate on a very basic level?

That's the way my thought processes work, anyway, and it would fill me with self-loathing to advocate for such a candidate. I encourage input, as I'm truly interested in improving my thought processes, especially as they pertain to ethical behavior.

I know on Reddit users can buy aged accounts. No idea if that kind of thing happens on other sites??

At any rate, the subtle posters are along the vein of "even if he doesn't win he has changed things blah blah blah" - they are going for making you feel good so you sigh and say "oh well" and vote for Hillary. At which time nothing will change except her position on any given day.

Stay strong, Berners.
