Comic Relief Fundraiser: Sanders Perennial Snark Desperation Syndrome, or SPSDS

In essence, SPSDS is an obsessive need to snark at anything, no matter how insignificant and/or banal, connected with Bernie Sanders, however remotely, even if nothing that actually makes sense comes to mind.

Psychiatric professionals sometimes describe SPSDS as "Obsessively flinging any kind of poo at a wall, desperately trying to get some of it to stick somewhere."

Perhaps saddest of all, it's not covered by Obamacare, the disease having been unknown in 2009, when current suffers of SPSDS were praising Sanders. This just shows how many poor souls desperately need to vote for Bernie for President in 2016, even if they can't see that.

To single payer and a full and speedy healing for all sufferers from SPSDS!


Oh! The humanity!

When I noted symptom of SPSDS in the forum that cannot be named , I posted the above to try to raise awareness. Cheeky Android3.14 replied

Temporary relief can be gained by donating to the Sanders campaign

Persons who do this find that colors appear brighter, people seem nicer, and there is a feeling of actually having contributed to something worthwhile.



This was indeed great news, but, alas, not a cure.


The cure for SPSDS, of course, is electing Senator Bernie Sanders President in 2016. First, though, we have to help get him nominated. Sanders Supporters, YOU can help stamp out the symptoms of pathetic SPSDS sufferers forever. Please help NOW. Here's how:

Donate whatever you can, today and whenever you can. https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

If you have not already done so, go to https://berniesanders.com/ and volunteer. While at the website, go to https://store.berniesanders.com/ . Order what you need to help, apparel, stickers, totes, campaign buttons, etc. It's all union made in America. (On a number of items, buying in quantity or buying a package saves a lot per unit.)

Give at least a few hours a week to telling people about Bernie, raising money for Bernie and GOTV (Make sure people are registered, know about absentee ballots, etc.) The campaign calls it Sanders Saturdays, and I do the same as a shortcut, but any hours in the week will do.

America is looking to you, Bernie Supporters. America is looking to you. Won't you please help?

I have been calling it SoWo or "Sanders obsession Worried obstruction" inspired by certain people posting in GD-P obsessively worried about Sanders.

If ever there was a time to use ignore this would be it but the train wreck is too fascinating. I tried but missed my old friends.
