Hey, so you know what a great way would be to get me onboard with Bernie? Come to my house in the middle of the night with a bullhorn and threaten me to vote Bernie, "or else".

Checking my sympathy gauge.... yep. Still at zero.

These.... officials... have been winking and nodding at this crap when done to conservatives, giggling about it, even. They can lie in their own bed.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Wouldn't shoot them but I'd damn sure get the garden hose after them.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I would call you a racist, but of course Bernie-bros are all white supremacists, anyhow.

Wait, what?

I have it on the best authority (Washington Post and New York Times) that ALL white supremacists are Trump supporters.

Tangential, but interesting look back to the 70's in relation to Sanders et al vs Trump today:

Quote
After Richard Nixon's landslide 1972 victory over Democratic opponent George McGovern, New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael gave a speech in which she said: "I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don't know. They're outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater I can feel them."

Same snowflakes who never cross the Hudson River, different era.

Apparently the term "Bernie Bros" is insensitive.

I keep wondering why Bernie lost so badly this weekend. Maybe there were too many brands of deodorant?

Because he is trying to sell his socialist yankee ideas in the South.

Why Democrats Can't Beat Trump in 2020


At about the 14 min mark, Crowder compares Bernie's reaction to getting booed to Trump getting booed in a past debate.  Interesting difference.  I gotta wonder if Bernie will maintain a base support, but his overall support will fade.

I'm not saying yankess or Bernie created socialism.  I'm saying Bernie's socialist ideas don't sell well in the South, not even with other democrats.

I'm getting more and more cynical, and I'm thinking that elections are not merely decided by undecided/moderate voters, nor are they decided by low-information voters, but instead are decided by undecided/moderate-low-information-voters UMLIV's.

The primaries by their nature are usually more ideological and higher information than the general election actually is. And while he's not gotten a majority, and the plurality of all the other candidates combined has outdone him still... Bernie has been pulling down wins because of his platform being a reactionary equivalent on the Left. (Reactionary is usually a label for the Right, but we know that's because the Left likes to twist language to their ends, and of course being honest, there's a reactionary Left too..)

However, some states will just go by the optics, (face, speech, smile, delivery...) of which Biden's are infinitely better than  Bernies, and I think that in some states and some demographics, the optics are of increased importance.
I promise not to duck.
