Such a perfect summation.
Such a perfect summation.
First it was Hillary.
Next it was Kamala.
Then it was Klobuchar.
Then Biden. Then Warren. Now Buttigieg.
Is there any Democrat running for president that you Sanders supporters won't hate? :lol:
Bernie Bros are determined to give us four more years of an ever-increasing fascist nation.
Is this really your takeaway from a satire short that pokes fun at every candidate?

You're thinking of the DNC there, turbo.
let them squirm on a contested convention in which a real progress-ive, Sen. Sherrod Brown, is drafted.
That's what she said.More like 2 minutes 5 seconds of my life that I wasted. :lol:
Time for Berniebrats to start a turd �� party.
It's more from the sum total of DP posts by the bigger Bernie fans. We've got threads accusing Buttgieg of being influenced by Russians because one Russian donated. We've got a thread insinuating that the DNC is rigging the primary for Bernie because a Dem organization in Nevada hired someone who left his staff, coupled with attacks on anyone who doesn't have a problem with that as them not caring about election fraud, so on and so forth. CTs that sound very much like the CTs used to defend Trump.
It's getting ****ing ridiculous. It doesn't help Bernie - you can't insult people or CT your way to more support for Bernie - it only helps Trump. America, even including the left in general, is simply not far left enough to love all his ideas. And one cannot virtue-shame and/or virtue-signal people into switching to loving Bernie. The more fierce all that is, the more likely his fans are going to sit at home if he doesn't win, and the more people do that the more likely it is Trump wins. (And, because of how people tend to work, the more likely one is to turn people off Bernie ...even if it shouldn't work that way).
I'll just say it: Not all Sanders supporters are like that. But I have no doubt that if their Dear Leader does not get the nomination which they obviously feel he is entitled to, they may throw another election.

I don't know about your cartoon because I generally don't do the "here, watch this video" thing. But if you're wondering where their comments came from, I'm suggesting it's probably from the vicinity of the things I just said.
Since Sanders’s Supporters — another SS — are chicken**** backstabbers, let them squirm on a contested convention in which a real progress-ive, Sen. Sherrod Brown, is drafted.
The DNC already started the turd slinging party. The only question is whether or not you gormless centrists are even emotionally equipped to handle it.
A contested Dem convention would be the kiss of death for any (already slim) possibility of beating Trump.

First of all, if you're not going to comment on the cartoon, why are you here?
Second, this thread isn't about airing out your frankly baseless opinions on Sanders supporters at large after you've gotten indigent about a handful of people on social media, and how your anecdotal experience 'proves' they're a monolithic hivemind of vicious brutes, bullies and conspiracy theorists to the last. If you want to debate with the Bernie supporters that have offended you as to the best way to get people onside, then go do that in the threads you've mentioned.
Clearly basic reading comprehension isn't your strong point: I said nothing about how I would act, or how I would recommend Bernie supporters act in terms of the general. Personally, I plan to vote Dem no matter what (Bloomberg being a notable exception) and that should be true of all Democrats, but behaving like a child as you clearly are is obviously counterproductive to any goal of retaining party unity and achieving a general victory in November.
To be honest, besides embarrassing yourself, you've made my own point for me better than I could hope to.
"Large faction", like you've actually quantified anything, lol. Get a clue; the only thing you actually have any idea about is how much you don't want Sanders to be nominee. And yeah, if you (and people like you) are going to actively attack and alienate Sanders' base, you shouldn't be surprised if it doesn't turn out.
Applaud. Mr Person is one of the best DP posters. Very lucid and articulate. Well done.
I loved this phrase: "you can't insult people or CT your way to more support for Bernie"
That's exactly what they are doing. Just today another Bernie fan insulted me, and what he called "moderate gibberish." And another one said they don't need moderates to win. A third one said the same a couple of days ago. Big mistake. Oh, edit: I see a fourth one doing it here.
Arrogance alienates potential supports. Arrogance won't pay off. It will only help Trump.
Such a perfect summation.
We were progress—ives before your parents were born.
I can’t wait until March 17th, when I can vote against Sanders in the primary. Your ilk owns that.
First it was Hillary.
Next it was Kamala.
Then it was Klobuchar.
Then Biden. Then Warren. Now Buttigieg.

No matter how you slice and dice it, the candidates are pitiful. If I were a Democrat today, I would be shaking my head and saying, "What the F@@@! How in the hell did we get these idiots running for president when they couldn't even beat a rug.
I'm happy though. It shows that if any of you people here think that any one of these blithering fools could beat Trump, your group is far more stupid than I gave you credit for and it is a sign you are out of touch with reality.
You may have failed to noticed that you made an additional comment attacking others for making their comments, and I was responding to your additional comment. If you don't want people to respond to new things you said, why do you say them?
You're only further proving my points right here in the comment
I'm not kissing Bernie's ass or laughing at Buttgieg with you, so you get nasty, aggressive, and troll-baity. And as with many Trumpist attacks on the left, you are dishonest in doing so. It is not "a handful of people on social media." It's a lot of people here on DP, elsewhere, all-around. And why go after them in those threads when they're right here in this thread?
If you wonder why I didn't respond to you in that thread, it's because all you coughed up was more of the same in response to one of my posts.
Scrolling down your recent posts, the bulk are like that. Someone doesn't immediately agree with what you say about Bernie or against any candidate other than Bernie - right down to conspiracy theories you backed like the one that because a Nevada group hired someone from Buttgieg's staff the fix must be in, and you go full on attack-troll mode.
You aren't entitled to have people slaver over Bernie. You aren't entitled to have everyone believe your pro-Bernie/anti-everyone CTs. And you most certainly are only to stab your cause in the back by behaving in such an offensive fashion towards people who might be willing to listen right up until you demonstrate who you become the moment someone disagrees with you.
PS: it's "indignant". "Indigent" refers to being poor.
