Go ahead, keep posting vicious crap...I just donated

Last edited Thu Mar 17, 2016, 08:40 AM - Edit history (1)

to Bernie again this morning. Like it or not, no matter how much you wish he would drop he's taking this to convention. Count on it.

Edited to add: Well, going back over it now that I've had my first cup of coffee and finished waking up. I realize how aggressive this read. To clarify, people have been vicious on BOTH sides of the fence. Whether you want him to win, are praying for an indictment, plain old hate HRC, support her, want him to drop out, want the first female pres. Whatever your flavor he's in it till convention. This is about a hell of a lot more than the nomination. This is about saving the soul of our party. Going back and forth with "Uh huh" "NUH UH!" "YES HUH" "NO WAY" isn't going to do a dang thing. Spiteful zingers included. So "Go ahead, keep posting vicious crap. I just donated to Bernie" and will keep supporting Bernie's agenda

This yelling back and forth sounds like the Republicans. For my part I'm grateful for the Sanders campaign. First it honed Hillary's message, and, yes, pulled it farther left. That's a good thing. Then it gave the Democrats some attention in spite of the Republican debacle. Where would we be if she was basically unopposed? We're a stronger party. I look forward to a rousing presence by Bernie and his supporters at the convention, forcefully putting forth the message about income inequality. Hopefully where we demostrate what it can be like when people in the same party disagree but come together to keep Trump out of the White House.

Awesome that you see how important it is that he takes this to convention, even if he doesn't get the delegates.

But you might want to request the OP be moved to Primaries forum... GD isn't for the primaries. They have it in here to keep the ick from flowing over everywhere else

You're posting comics from a site that wants to shut down the EPA?

Strange bedfellows, indeed. I'd self-delete.

And you're now defending it.
Posting it to your facebook won't change the author of the cartoon, nor who he works for.

Any port in a storm, eh?

I even went to the forum post list, and started to click things from both sides on the fence.

Then I thought better of it. If I repeat here what EITHER side is saying that's spiteful/malicious - I'm just spreading it. He's in it until the convention period. Win or lose he has an agenda to bring the county to it's feet. A very important agenda. This about much more than the nominee. NCT said it best upthread.

Def 4 ... spiteful. Like the buffets comment, He will drop out, that right wing cartoon that was posted against Hillary etc. If you look at my OP I updated it now that I've had coffee. None of that was necessary and was apparently only posted out of sheer meanness.

Edited to add, the lottery ticket comment... the stick a fork in him he's done crap.. sheer spite.

But I support you giving him more money. In the coming weeks his message will stay the same minus the Clinton distinctions. He will be building the democratic brand and talking about issues dear to us. Money well spent.

There is no doubt I have taken some really nasty shots. Fact is I really do like a lot of the Sanders supporters on this board and really want to keep it that way.
