a frog will jump out of slowly boiled water, but CANT jump out of boiling water because his legs would be flash fried

next time you feel like being a disrupter, point this out to someone who uses the cliche

Obama is a perfect example of what Bernie is saying. His position on TPP negates whatever little good he has done. HRC would be even worse.

Hillary:

"The American People need a champion; I intend to be that champion."

My God, how can Bernie compete with such brilliance as that?
