All you Uber Bernie Sander’s Supporters on D.U.

[busterbrown]

I understand your Passion for Bernie Sanders and I agree with most of it..But when you repeat the bullshit email lRepublican talking points as a reason why Hillary is in trouble..you are just giving these idiots ammunition to hurt our chances with the 2016 generals...Yea, go after her Iraqi Vote, her ties with Big Bank and other talking points which already exist...but you might as well hit her on Benghazi if you are that desperate to bring her down..

I will fully support either one of these fine candidates in the election.....

[oberliner]

1. What about the ones who take taxis?

Not everybody uses Uber.

[short circuit]

2. Damn right, Lyft is unfairly being unrepresented...

... er wait, I don't use either...

*walks off to the nearest dark alley*

[jberryhill]

4. No, no, no, no

Uber Bernie Supporters is an app that will send a Bernie Supporter to you on demand.

Like, if a Hillary partisan calls you a racist, you can just tap on your location and request UberBernieBlack, and an African American Bernie supporter will be dispatched to your location - usually in under five minutes (offer not valid in Vermont).

[Aerows]

15. I'm crunchy granola

so I power walk to my destination.

[emsimon33]

60. Thank you for the belly laugh

I like the concept, though. I think that it is actually in the works.

[busterbrown]

84. Jesus Christ...

You guys are so clever..and boring after awhile.. My God the way you over extend a fairly funny play on words.. Is so not funny after multiple plays..

[malokvale77]

88. That cracked me up.

My grandson (US Navy - Active) is an Uber driver in Virginia. He would so do that.

[MrMickeysMom]

94. You're busting me up, jberry...

That's pretty funny…. but I'm not gonna use one of those LOL guys (snicker)

[The_Commonist]

17. Bernie Sanders Über Alles!

Anybody know if Jello Biafra is a Bernie supporter?

[frylock]

31. Soon I will be Pres-i-dent.

[hrmjustin]

3. They want to hurt her. They are not about building up but tearing down.

Very free republic like.

[Fawke Em]

6. At least we don't pull up bullshit ads accusing her of pedophilia.

Like one of her supporters did to Bernie the other day.

[hrmjustin]

7. Link.

[beam me up scottie]

25. Link:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251549982

They're still defending that today.

[hrmjustin]

26. Thank you for the link.

[Autumn]

38. They jury saw right through that.

[beam me up scottie]

39. 2 of them apparently thought it was acceptable.

And I have no doubt that if the op hadn't been hidden it would have been rec'd by others.

[Autumn]

41. Oh yeah it would have had what? 40 recs maybe?

[beam me up scottie]

42. Did see where a HC supporter posted a racist op and another rec'd it?:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251506371

That should have brought the ban hammer down, if a Bernie supporter had done that they would have been gone in a heartbeat.

At least only one juror voted to leave it that time.

[Autumn]

45. No.

[beam me up scottie]

46. I think those two ops lowered the bar as far as it can go.

Of course it's still early and I'm sure we're in for more swift boating.

[Autumn]

47. Yeah it will get worse.

[Puglover]

56. There are a few around that are on forced time outs more

then they are posting. But no PPR's

Go figure that one.

[frylock]

67. Must be that good ol' HillaryMojo

[cherokeeprogressive]

53. WOW.

Top shelf stuff. The same shelf reserved for posts displaying pictures of white cops using a black man as a trophy... and then claiming not to be calling Bernie Sanders a racist.

[beam me up scottie]

62. Don't forget they also said he supports and protects "armed racist border vigilante thugs".

And he's responsible for the deaths of the children at Sandy Hook and what happened to Gabby Giffords.

They've been busy.

[cherokeeprogressive]

72. Grasping at straws...

Trying anything they can to sway public opinion.

[Fawke Em]

63. Thank you.

I was over watching his DNC speech and getting dinner, so I just now saw the request.

Much appreciated for taking up my slack!

[beam me up scottie]

64. Don't mention it, happy to oblige!

[840high]

75. Unbelievably low. The person

who posted that OP needs a time-out.

[Autumn]

11. Talk about republican ammunition

That was nasty. The jury saw through the posters "concern" though.

[Andy823]

16. Can you provide a link to that. nt

[840high]

76. link is above

[busterbrown]

29. Link?

Never heard of him..

[beam me up scottie]

22. At least we didn't use a racial slur while calling her a racist like a HC supporter did.

When it comes to "free republic like" behaviour some HC supporters are real pros.

[sadoldgirl]

5. What was meant was über, not uber,

but many people have trouble with Umlaut use.

[Bucky]

19. It's only an Umlaut in German! When it's used in English, it's called a diaeresis

I am hoping that this becomes the dominating controversy of the 2016 primary.

[cascadiance]

8. I really don't care about the Republican "Benghazi talking points" on her email problems...

... but I DO have a problem with her in effect creating this problem to start with by choosing to PRIVATIZE her email instead of using government IT infrastructure that is a REPUBLICAN strategy (so they probably won't complain about her doing something that Republicans have done and they want all politicians to do by moving away from government provided solutions for privatized solutions).

She did so surreptitiously without explaining fully through today WHY she did this, that perhaps might prompt us to fix government IT infrastructure, if that was the reason she did so. When she did so, she basically gave Republicans ammunition to build up conspiracy theories (whether they are valid or not) that she's hiding some things that she shouldn't be.

Like I have said over and over again! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS BENGHAZI RED HERRING!!!

But I DO care that we have a president that exercises good judgement as the leader of this country and arguably the free world. If she can't exercise good judgement on where she should have her email kept, that IS an issue for us to talk about!

[Autumn]

13. Hillary's problems are of her own making. She's the one who gave ammunition to the republicans

all on her own.

[busterbrown]

21. Oh,, so its about not exercising good judgment.

Seems she did a pretty good freaking job while she was Sec.Of State..I think she exercised plenty of good judgment during her stay..

[cascadiance]

24. Exercising good judgement on pushing the TPP to countries she talked to about it?...

... which she seems to feel that to the public she needs to "study more" before she takes a public position on it. Did she push something while SOS that she "didn't understand"? Hmm...

But that still doesn't take away that it was in many people's books POOR judgment of secretly privatizing (Republican solution!!!) her email without explanation as to WHY she did so. What benefit did she get from doing so? I think Americans are owed an explanation if they want to feel like she made good judgement in doing so. The only thing they are seeing is that this decision fueled a lot of Republican speculative stories about her doing things that she may or may not have done illegally in with this *privatized email*.

[TheKentuckian]

43. In what respect, Churlee?

Tenure seems pretty corporate enabling, interventionist pushing, and fracky to me.

[artislife]

48. Ask the families of the brown deaths in the middle east about that.

[frylock]

68. Aside from the whole mail server thingy..

Libya is a bit of a Charlie Foxtrot as well. But yeah, other than that....

[FarPoint]

9. I totally agree with you.

Well said...Spewers of right wing propaganda damages all Democratic candidates.

[LWolf]

10. I don't get Republican email to repeat.

I have very little at all to say about Clinton, and when I do, it's only in response to something someone said here.

I'm generally too busy talking about Bernie to bother with Clinton, who simply doesn't register on my "need to talk about" scale.

Meanwhile, if you want something positive, and positively hilarious, I just watched a video in the Sanders group that's a must see.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

12. Don't worry, Hillary's email own-goal won't hurt us at all in the general

when Bernie's the nominee.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. What does Uber have to do with Bernie or Hillary?

[Trajan]

18. I'm not repeating any GOP bullshit

I condemn Hillary for my own reasons, with my own arguments and in my own language ...

Buster? .. Reconsider your support for centrist democrats, and join us ... You will not regret it ...

[busterbrown]

23. I find your tactics on D.U...

Unsettling....Will support Bernie to the hilt, if he wins Primary..

[Trajan]

27. Which of my tactics?

Specifically mine ...

[busterbrown]

30. Everyone is so concerned about “their stuff"

Never heard of you before..

[Trajan]

32. Ok ... This is one of my tactics, if you will ..

Whenever a DUer feeds me a line of obvious BS, I place them on ignore ... This is a perfect example ...

Accuse with not a stitch of evidence

Welcome to that place, buster ... I may or may not un-ignore you after the primaries .. but I don't need this kind of BS in my life ...

Goodbye buster ... Good luck

[busterbrown]

52. My Bad.....

I wasn’t referring to your tactics.. Some how I clicked on the wrong reply spot...

My concern are Duer’s calling Hillary on the email bullshit..

Again my apologies..

[cali]

20. my opinions regarding Clinton have nothing to do with my support for Sanders.

[randys1]

28. K&R...If Hillary is the nominee and she loses, I will blame the right for stealing the election and

some here for allowing it to be close enough to steal.

[frylock]

33. Of course, because people grousing on DU have that kind of influence on the voting populace.

[randys1]

35. Hillary is under attack everywhere, including DU. In the media, etc.

Tremendous harm is being done and most of it is bullshit accusations.

[artislife]

51. Maybe if she was a better candidate

on Food, Agratoxins, war, the banks...etc.

We disagree with her on issues. It isn't our fault if her stand on issues is weak. She could be a fighter, be she seems to spend her fight on things that she kind of help create.

The whole email thing is just DUMB. She should have taken into consideration of what President Obama asked for (er...perhaps even demanded), the Freedom of Information Act, the rightwing and their hound dogs...

This all could have been avoided with a little thought.

[frylock]

70. Hillary's inabilty to make a sound decision is being attacked on DU.

Hillary's lack of foresight is being attacked on DU.

[busterbrown]

81. Yep...The way I feel..

We have two great candidates, but the UBER SANDERS crowd wants nothing to do with finding a middle way.

We have a freaking dumb populace...Look at Trump’s popularity for Christ sakes...Do Bernie supporter’s realize what kind of attacks are gonna be heading our way if he gets the nomination.. An "old Communist, Marxist, Socialist” They will scare the ignorant populace to death.... I realize it’s pure bullshit, but scares the crap out of me,

[cherokeeprogressive]

58. So you're just gonna run it up the flagpole and see who salutes huh? No evidence needed.

You're just gonna straight up start making claims as soon as the votes are tallied.

Credibility. It's what's not for dinner.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

73. And I'll blame centrists for picking the wrong horse.

[840high]

78. You give DU much too much importance.

[bigwillq]

34. I thought Uber was that car that brought me home when I am too drunk to drive ......................

[cali]

36. funny how you ignore all the attacks on bernie by Clinton supporters

[Andy823]

37. I support O'Malley

I don't post negative about either Bernie or Hillary, simply because in the end I will vote for whoever wins the nomination.

Now if you take a look at the first page of this board on any given day, and you take the time to actually count the number of negative posts, and see which side is doing the most attacking, I think you will find it's those who "claim" to be Bernie supporters with the most negative posts. Try it and see what you come up with.

[busterbrown]

57. Thank you.

I really stand in the middle...But time after time, recently, I see continuous bogus attacks on Clinton..

[Puzzledtraveller]

40. Tell that to O'Malley too.

[Andy823]

44. Who has O'Malley been bashing?nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

49. What a fucking crock. No right wingers come here to get their ammunition from me...

Srsly?

[Andy823]

65. Not they come here

To stir things up and keep the board fighting each other over who is the "worst" candidate. Sadly they seem to be doing a pretty good job of stirring things up.

[cherokeeprogressive]

71. I understand that but it doesn't address the claim the OP made.

What we do here wouldn't make a difference in a small town in Montana; we aren't a microcosm of real life by any stretch.

Actually I like the fact that we're "us" and NOT an indicator of what the larger population thinks, feels, or acts upon. It makes it more fun.

[Garrett78]

50. Anti-war and anti-corruption is a right wing position?

"Yea, go after her Iraqi Vote, her ties with Big Bank and other talking points which already exist"

Wait, are you saying progressives/leftists shouldn't express concern over those matters? You even seem to be suggesting those are "Republican talking points."

Listen, the email stuff is much ado about nothing and I think almost everyone at DU knows that. But there is a valid leftist critique of Clinton and the party establishment, and I'm not sure why that's so difficult to understand unless you're someone who thinks "Democrat" is synonymous with "progressive." Which is hard to believe considering today's mainstream Democrats are, in many ways, to the *right* of previous Republican presidents.

[artislife]

54. According to H supporters

it is all right wind talking points unless it is a loving article with soft lens and homey tributes to her mom or daughter.

[Garrett78]

74. There really does seem to be a refusal to accept...

that there is a valid leftist critique of Clinton and the party establishment. Like this: http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/29052-five-reasons-no-progressive-should-support-hillary-clinton

[840high]

79. Yep

[Lifelong Protester]

55. What if you don't use Uber?

Do you have to use Uber to support Bernie Sanders, on DU or anywhere?

(I live in the middle of nowhere, or at least you can see it from here).

[historylovr]

69. It's okay, as long as you drive a Volvo.

[Catherina]

59. LMAO. Not email. Unauthorized & hacked SERVER. Goodbye n/t

[busterbrown]

61. LAMO..Whats That..? N/t.

[Roy Ellefson]

66. agreed

agreed...when push comes to shove I will vote for Hillary...I won't be happy about it but I will vote for her. On the other hand I absolutely abhor both Hillary supporters and Bernie supporters who resort to right wing lies and tactics to attack their Democratic rival. I've lived through the vast right wing conspiracy and it is a reality...liberals, progressive, democrats, social democrats have no business resorting to the same tactics in defense of their candidate.

Hell, I know Hillary is DLC, a corporatist, a DINO etc. etc. etc. but the alternative is unthinkable.

[cantbeserious]

77. Why Support Establishment Members Of The 1%

eom

[MoveIt]

80. I use ZipCar, and support Bernie

Please advise me how to proceed with condescending and paternalistic guidance.

[busterbrown]

82. Stop with the bullshit sarcasm..

It;s boring already!

[MoveIt]

89. There's the condescension I knew you were good for! n/t

[WillyT]

83. Uber Wouldn't Let Me Drive For Them... Too Many Dents, And The Car Needs A Wash...

[busterbrown]

85. Hysterical...Bernie fans are just rolling down the aisles..

[SwampG8r]

86. I don't know why but

I read the subject line and it was.in Richie Blackman's voice
If it's music we can use it love to dance
But we ain't got no time for psychological romance
No romance no romance no romance for me nah



Rip.Richie.we still talking about you

[malokvale77]

87. Well...

it sounds like that whole bullshit email|Republican talking points has you worried.

BENGHAZI!

[davidpdx]

90. Are you equally as willing to callout other supporters who repeat

Republican talking points about Sanders? Because I see very few people doing that. What IF Sanders is the nominee? Would the same argument you are making about Clinton being hurt go the same for Sanders?

[busterbrown]

91. I support Bernie Sanders and Hillary.

Right now I favor Hillary because Right or wrong I feel she has the better chance in the General..

So yes i would gladly shout down any bullshit directed at him.. Only thing I have heard around here so far is The “Black Live’s Matter” stuff... Those that are directing that crap at him are idiots..

[davidpdx]

92. I see a lot of false stuff being trolled by Clinton supporters

Including he is not a Democrat, he doesn't represent our values, blah blah blah. My favorite is don't attack Hillary Clinton because it will damage her in the GE. Of course no one supporting her would say the same about Sanders if he one the nomination.

[busterbrown]

93. Oh, bullshit.. I’m a Hillary Supporter, but fucking

do not think that i want to harm Sanders in any manner. He’s a gift..

[davidpdx]

95. I didn't say you

I said that there is a hypocrisy about Clinton supporters claiming saying bad things about her will harm her in the GE, but they don't believe the same thing if Sanders were to win.

[busterbrown]

96. Do me a favor and provide some links..

Sanders not a Democrat? Bullshit.. I’m a Hillary supporter and I welcome anything Sanders can do or say which will drive Clinton more to the left...

[davidpdx]

97. I'm glad you think that way

It's been an often repeated meme. I don't have time to dredge through posts, but there are some Clinton supporters who claim that.

On edit: Here is one with plenty of them including well-known Clinton supporters parroting the line
