No wonder we lost to Trump in 2016.

But, that's a VERY good sign... if Bernie wasn't kickin' azz and takin' names, they would just ignore him, like so many of the other candidates. So, it sure beats the alternative!!

Hopefully, the divisiveness will end once Bernie secures the nomination, but, it might be too late by then... as you say, we could be handing the election to peeResident tRump.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

And that way dodge the shallow 'hypocrisy' smear?

Better than don't feed the trolls- don't see the trolls. I used to feel I needed to see it all. I've come to realize some just don't want a discussion, they want to provoke.

The Sanders hateration on DU has reached the point that I scarcely can read any non-Sanders group postings on the primary. Rather than focusing on the real reasons that Clinton lost to Trump, Sanders haters blame him and, despite the fact that Hillary has THANKED him more than once for campaigning for her dozens of times in the general, focus on lunacy like the fact that a few of his top people voted Stein.

Give me a break! Why did they vote Stein? Because Bernie encouraged them to do so? Certainly not! Because they knew how unfairly Sanders was treated in the primary and couldn't bring themselves to vote for a candidate with so many differences from their candidate.

When the trolling gets to be too much, I focus on the good news, such as this video which explains how Bernie's lead versus the field continues to grow. Sometimes, I close my eye and repeat, "50-State Strategy! 50-State Strategy! 50-State Strategy!"

I didn’t know separate forums existed and made the mistake of posting a thread in the general primary forum. Now there’s a weird thread with my original post and a bunch of my replies deleted.

Majority Report had a funny riff on Bernie being a millionaire. They called it something like, “Bernie’s Guide to Riches.” It started with (I’m totally paraphrasing) #1 Move to Vermont and work for over a decade in odd jobs and ended with Run for president in your 70s and write a best seller.

It’s not about personal behavior. It’s about policy.

You have to hear it in the Bernie voice to get the joke, but yeah, it was hilarious. The caricature of your typical centrist Bernie-hater that Michael and Sam describe is spot on and very common on DU.
