Bernie - you really need to go somewhere and sit your ass down

[EffieBlack]

Really. Please.

[farleftlib]

1. Try taking your own advice. eom)

[artislife]

2. Win!

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

10. Excellent Bernie backhand.

Just what Democracy ordered.

[bigwillq]

14. !

[berni_mccoy]

15. Same exact thought as I read the whiny OP

[Puglover]

18. Perfect!!!

[CentralCoaster]

22. !

[840high]

43. Spot on.

[yourpaljoey]

54. of course you are correct

[Sparkly]

61. Is this what the Sanders campaign is about?

Trashing people who disagree?

Smackdowns when democracy doesn't go your way?

Complaining when women and minorities in urban areas outvote white suburbanites?

Then you smack down a DUer and high-five each other.

Congratulations.

[sheshe2]

63. I think you summed that up perfectly, Sparkly.

[Silver_Witch]

71. You did read the original post didn't you....

....rude posts have abounded and this is no different.

[Number23]

90. That wasn't even a proper smack down. My six year old is far more cutting to her big sister

when she's not even trying.

It's a sad state of affairs when "try taking your own advice" gets a whole bunch of OOOOOOOoooooohhhhss like it's the greatest comeback EVAHHHHH!!!111one

[Sheepshank]

120. Agreed, the comeback, "....bounces off me and sticks to you."

Is as shallow as some thinkers and their "high fivers" can get. Sad state of the clickety click group

[DisgustipatedinCA]

95. It's about burning corruption down to the foundation. Next.

[ljm2002]

98. WTF?????

The OP has zero substance, just an order telling Bernie to "sit your ass down", without even citing a reason why he needs to do so. Then, when the poster is told to take their own advice, you accuse THEM of "trashing people who disagree"?????

Unhinged.

[Cary]

102. The truth drive them over the edge

And of course they attack anyone who dares to state the truth. Always.

I've seen the same behavior from LaRouchies, Ann Rand cultists at The Atlas Society, and other cults and cult-like organizations that I will not name. It's a low level tactic of desperation, I think.

I still haven't figured out a satisfying way to respond. Walking away works best.

Pointing out the tactic in theory is supposed to work.

[Bernie Supporter 101]

103. Could not be further from the truth.

Why in the world would you think Bernie does not have women and minority voters? That is asinine. Stop listening to the media.

[shenmue]

104. Because he doesn't.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

[Bluenorthwest]

113. This is what Hillary's campaign is all about:

Her supporters found nothing to object to in that horrifying screed. That defines them. I will never, ever forget and I will always act accordingly.

[Sparkly]

114. "horrifying screed"

I'm no Reagan apologist, but considering nobody wanted to say "condom" in public at the time, at least Nancy pushed the president to fund research and talk about AIDS, which may have led to the Koop mailer.

Yes, too little too late -- but Lord knows what it would have been like if nobody was saying what she was. It could have gone on much longer before people became aware. In any case, this was a comment after the woman died, from the first lady who came after her. I could imagine a "horrifying screed" at that moment, but Clinton was showing some tact. Nevertheless, she was right to walk it back.

In any case, no -- I would not say this clip is what her campaign is all about.

[roguevalley]

123. the op posted a crap piece. they can

Say what they want but they don't control the reception

[Trust Buster]

3. He and his supporters are destroying our chances in the fall IMO.

[NorthCarolina]

4. How do you destroy zero chance? nt

[rhett o rick]

23. I wish we had that power. But if you fail in the fall, look in the mirror for the reason.

We warned you that Clinton wasn't the best candidate.

[Trust Buster]

28. You're attacking Hillary as bad as Trump ever has. Forget it if you think your hands are clean.

[rhett o rick]

35. Lies. I don't believe that and have never said that. I said Sanders speaks for the People and is

a better candidate to defeat Trump.

[Buddyblazon]

97. Forget it if you think this holds a candle to what...

Drumpf is about smack you guys with. You're going to need to toughen up quite a bit and quick like. Cause what you're seeing from the Bernie campaign isn't even Coors light compared to what you're about to see from Trumps campaign. If this is bad to you, I'm pretty sure what's around the corner is going to look like attempted political homicide.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

42. Hillary's baggage is destroying her chances in the fall.

It is the responsibility of voters to scrutinize candidates for the presidency.

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Harry S. Truman

[timmymoff]

46. She's been vetted she is ready, it's her turn.

C'mon let's not start making excuses now after we have been warning you. Enjoy!

[nini]

50. Nah..you're giving the hysterical ones too much credit

They think everyone thinks like them.. Hillary doesn't need them.

Not to mention too many repubs wont' vote for Trump.

[aikoaiko]

66. I don't see that.

[Voice for Peace]

82. Great name.. Nothing quite like busting trust

Except maybe dissing hope & twisting facts

[ThePhilosopher04]

85. You only have yourself to blame if Trump wins.

Hillary can't get it done.

[Orrex]

115. But Sanders, who won't secure the nomination, *can* get it done?

That's some super duper logic.

[MFM008]

87. exactly

and they will deeply and dearly regret it.
And make the rest of us suffer for their
ideologically purity.

[artislife]

122. She is doing it all by herself. Her words, her deeds. nt

[haikugal]

5. Really? Shut up and sit down...OBEY...what kind of democracy would that be?

[sheshe2]

67. Isn't that what you have been saying to us all along?

The hides prove it.

[choie]

81. That's what Clinton supporters

have been saying from the very first day that Sanders had the audacity to challenge the anointed one.

[sheshe2]

84. According to Skinner we are 85% BS and 15% Hill.

Therefore the alert stalking and hides. We are BS underground, you own this place and swarm anyone that challenges BS. No truth/ facts stand. Hidden. That is a fact.

[rhett o rick]

108. And yet most alerts are by Clinton supporters. Most alerts are by about 10 Clinton

supporters. MIRT and the host forum are dominated by Clinton supporters. Certainly not 80-20. And funny thing, a number of Sanders supporters have been removed from the jury pool, hmmmm. And a number of Sanders supporters have been Flagged, the new quiet way to ban.

When I was a host I was getting and average of 3 alerts a day. Finally one stuck and I was eliminated as a host. The alert stalking stopped. The job was done. Although the percentage of Clinton supporters is 20%, you wield a lot of power. Have any Clinton Supporters gotten PPR'd?

[Cary]

109. You could at least own the bullshit hides

Sheshe2 gave you the facts. I am not even a Hillary supporter per se and I am suppressed.

I have two hides simply because I had the nerve to suggest we should try to get along. I am told that my intent isn't my intent. 85 percent to 15 percent Rhett. That's a fact you can't get around.

[rhett o rick]

117. First of all the 15% have the complete support of the Admin here.

The most outspoken progressives have been banned and now others are being FFR'd. MIRT and the Host Forum wield a lot of power of who gets removed and which OPs get locked. Both of those groups have a majority of Clinton supporters or at least they don't represent the percentage breakdown of 85 - 15. Many progressives I have spoken to have been quietly removed from the jury pools. So most likely the jury pools aren't representative of the 85 - 15% breakdown either. And I am willing to bet that 80% of the alerts are made by the 15%. They are organized, have an off-site to go and strategize, and they brag about it.

So the 85 - 15% isn't the whole story.

[Cary]

121. I can't speak for the administration here

I appreciate what they're trying to do. I don't think enough people here can be objective enough to be fair about that either.

There too much emotional garbage here.

[zappaman]

129. Sure, Rick. Sure.

[Orrex]

112. Where did you find the "most alerts are by Clinton supporters" statistic?

I'd be interested to review your source material.

[SunSeeker]

124. Please state how you know "Most alerts are by about 10 Clinton supporters."

You would be making shit up would you?

[Voice for Peace]

86. I don't know much about hides but

I, like many others, was banned rudely and without any provocation nor respectful explanation, and no response to a respectful query. I have read so many arrogant, supercilious posts, full of blatant disrespect.

It has gone both ways like an ugly mirror.

A good friend was explaining to me about how much more class Hillary supporters have. And how even Bernie would disapprove of us. Later that day, I read his post in a Bernie group on FB, calling the young voters "uninformed, ignorant, diaper-wearing assholes." That was pretty classy!

It's a pervasive & contagious primary pox. I'm taking my vitamins!

[arcane1]

6. The White House is a perfect location n.t

[benny05]

9. Ding Ding Ding

You win the Bernie sits contest!



Best snark today!

[jillan]

31. Woot! Perfect comeback!!

[In_The_Wind]

32. Thread winner!

[DerekG]

7. Sounds like Clinton's gonna sit her ass down in a courtroom

n/t

[berni_mccoy]

16. Lol

[bigwillq]

21. !

[840high]

44. yep

[NastyRiffraff]

57. You hope

Hope springs eternal, doesn't it?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

96. But only for light federal felonies. Lets don't get carried away.

[NWCorona]

8. Today's news hasn't been kind to Hillary so I understand.

[kayakjohnny]

11. Are you sad bro?

[cali]

12. That's pathetic, graceless and bitter. A sickening trifecta of shit flamebait

Go.......

[rhett o rick]

19. It's really good to have you back. But why don't you tell us what you really think.

[VulgarPoet]

105. There are several acronyms that if I posted here, would catch me a hide--

is this meant to evoke that?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

13. i bet you are pleasant in real life too

Not

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Yours is taking up all the available space.

or are you willing to share?

[AgingAmerican]

20. Hillary supporters are apoplectic with panic over Bernie

[frylock]

24. #bowdownbernie

[angrychair]

25. I'll reply with all the seriousness this OP was made in

[Maedhros]

26. Well, that's petulant and condescending.

Bernie has done more for this country than you could ever DREAM of doing. That you should presume to lecture him on what he "should" do is beyond comical.

The best thing to do is to ignore anything further you might post.

/bye.

[Jester Messiah]

27. No, he doesn't "need" that. You "want" that but that's your problem.

Kindly attend to it on your own.

[Shadowflash]

29. No doubt!

What's with all this silly voting? And finish the primaries? Pfft! Don't even get me started.

I hear ya. We just need to appoint now. It's inevitable, anyway.

[RazBerryBeret]

30. ah....so sorry

is this too much for you?

[grasswire]

33. Is this about his ethnicity? nt

[jillan]

39. Due to history, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this OP.

[Dragonfli]

49. I can't hear anything, but my dog is acting very agitated-----turned off the sound on my PC and she

settled down now. My poor dog can't handle that frequency without agitation.

I can picture the poster wearing suspenders and Dock Martins, I Think it is bald as well

[grasswire]

51. just suspenders and doc martins?

LOLOL. What a visual.

[Orrex]

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Yeah, this is an over the top reference directed at a DU'er - an AA DU'er at that. This little subthread devoted to piling on is pitiful, and this post is a nasty addition.

[MrMickeysMom]

34. I'm sure he does occasionally...

Next super intelligent declarative statement?

[KeepItReal]

36. I'd rather Sen. Sanders keep standing up. For us.

Like he always has.

No evolutions, hindsight, or "my bad!" needed.

[panader0]

37. Yeah--he's off the reservation and needs to be brought to heel.

[TM99]

38. Yes, I am sure you are just dying to

bring him to heel.

[cali]

40. Run, Effie, run for cover. Not exactly courageous with this crap

hit and run.

[whatchamacallit]

41. Shit is being lost

Please take a moment to find it.

[grossproffit]

45. He's proved to be both a clown and an egomaniac.

[Logical]

48. Where hillary is arrogant and smug. I will take bernie any day. nt

[LexVegas]

47. He really is classless and without integrity.nt

[w4rma]

55. Yes, Hillary is the most disliked, weakest, most corrupt Democratic frontrunner in my lifetime.

Every one of your lies about Bernie, backfire onto Hillary. It's Bernie with the 82%+ honesty rating. Hillary is widely considered to be a pathological liar.

[grossproffit]

99. He had me fooled for a while. I can't stand to look at him now.

[Ed Suspicious]

52. Bring him to heel!

[Autumn]

53. How bout Hillary goes and sits her ass down somewhere? I would rather not have to see or hear her.

[grasswire]

58. bark bark bark!

I like the barking better than the "I WILL FIGHT FOR YOUUUU!!"

[Autumn]

60. Yeah I liked the barking, that sounded truthful to me.

[Sparkly]

62. uh huh.

[Kelvin Mace]

73. Yep

https://m.

[Sparkly]

76. I know.

I was responding to the remark, "I like that better than hearing her say 'I will fight for you.'"

It's getting pretty nasty around here.

[Kelvin Mace]

72. To the idiot who alerted on this

claiming it was essentially calling HRC a "bitch", here is the video it referred to. Yes, that's HRC, barking.

https://m.

[grasswire]

74. thanks for that news

what a stretch that was.

I actually do like the bark. It amuses me.

[Sparkly]

77. I didn't alert, but I got the reference.

It's hard to hear women "yelling" and all that.

[ecstatic]

59. IKR? He is beyond annoying at this point. There's too much at stake and

I no longer have the patience to listen to his fantasies.

[timmymoff]

64. Bold ideas equal fantasy from those to scared or comfortable to get in the trenches.

[ecstatic]

69. The bold ideas that he doesn't have a clue of how to implement?

Like breaking up the banks? GMAMFB!

[Ed Suspicious]

75. He could hire a manager to make it happen. Hillary would be perfect for that job.

[Sparkly]

79. Plus, single-payer.

As soon as they stop trying to repeal the ACA.

[Hiraeth]

80. I think you have him confused with Trump. That is the one with no substance.

[aikoaiko]

65. He's campaigning for every vote and delegate. What's wrong with that?

[rusty quoin]

68. I was trying to remember when I really wanted Hillary to drop out in 2008.

And then the Indiana primary happened. I was in Indiana in 2008, and voted for Obama. My desire for Hillary to drop out came months after that. Although I know Bernie cannot realistically win, I like him still in there, at least for a couple of months, and then we can all back Hillary.

[Cha]

70. Thank you, Effie! Bravenak gives

you a , too!

[jmg257]

78. He may be too old and too white to be brought to heel. nt

[SunSeeker]

83. K & R

[Spirochete]

88. Yes, he does

I hear the Oval Office has a pretty comfortable chair...

[eridani]

89. Shut up and sit down. Typical 1% bullshit n/t

[Waiting For Everyman]

91. Hillary needs to do the right thing and drop out.

That's what she should have done when the FBI opened its investigation. After that, this primary should have been between Bernie and Martin O'Malley, if she had any integrity or responsibility.

As to your OP statement, there's nothing you can do about controlling Bernie's decisions. Hillary and her surrogates and supporters have nothing to say about it. Same for the Dem party. People in other states have a right to vote, and he has a right to finish the Primary process fully.

[silvershadow]

92. Donald? Is that you? nt

[betsuni]

93. K&R LOL

[DisgustipatedinCA]

94. You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometime, you'll find...

Bernie Sanders (not seated).

[Laser102]

100. Oh snap!!!

[leeroysphitz]

101. That's right. Progressives, lgbtq, and other groups have been told to sit down and shut up

for YEARS by staus quo types like Clinton.

Maybe we don't WANT to sit down and shut up. Maybe we don't care if speaking up ruins your fantasy victory lap. Maybe this time we AREN'T going to sit down and shut up.

[VulgarPoet]

106. #DropOutHillary

[Loki]

107. And you forgot to add, shut up.

He has turned on the constant repeating loop and it's past being tiresome.

[99Forever]

110. If he does...

....at least it won't be behind bars in Federal Prison.

[polly7]

116. Ick.

Desperation is ugly.

[leftofcool]

118. Bernie the spoiler!

[Amaril]

119. Ummmm..........I might be wrong, but.......

...I don't think Bernie is a member of DU.

Besides, due to your bias, your advice is definitely not in *his* best interest, so I'm sure he would say -- if he did read here -- something along the lines of: "Thanks, so much, Hillary-supporter, but I'll run my own damn campaign if it's ok with you."

[snowy owl]

125. I trust you said that to Clinton eight years ago?

[HooptieWagon]

126. Oval Office is a good spot.

[Kalidurga]

127. Did the news about Huma upset you that much don't worry it was just an interview

the FBI does those all the time when they haven't found evidence of a crime. Really all the time.

[Warren DeMontague]

128. What did he do, now?

[Hiraeth]

130. My irony meter just assploded.

[Orsino]

131. Some other candidate should have won more delegates.

That's the way to silence a candidate.

[Katashi_itto]

132. Cool story bro.
