Do you feel the BERN?

[Harmony Blue]

Our country is ready for some green energy, reinvestment in education, infrastructure and sane foreign policy. Bring on the BERN. We are going to need the youthful Bernie to go up against the Trumpinator.

[NorthCarolina]

1. You bet your damn skippy I am

Been waiting for a candidate like this since I began voting some many decades ago.

[leftofcool]

2. Nope! I checked this morning, not feeling it.

[Agschmid]

3. Trump won't be the nominee.

[boston bean]

4. No, but Sabrina Fulton has. nt

[seabeyond]

7. Sigh. ... Yes. She has. That makes me feels so bad for her. Nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

13. Sadly ... True. eom.

[RKP5637]

5. He's what I remember the democratic party being about way back. It's refreshing

to hear him. I think he resonates well with millions of people.

[Go Vols]

36. Yep

[MineralMan]

6. No, but I almost got frostbite on my nose this morning.

Does that count?

[1StrongBlackMan]

10. Just give it time ...

when your nose starts warming up ... you will get a burning sensation.

[MineralMan]

14. There is that.

I don't mistake it for anything but recovery from a cold nose, though.

Feel the Bern...or else...

Doesn't work for me, really.

[cherokeeprogressive]

42. Freezer Bern? Vacuum pack things... that'll help.

[JustAnotherGen]

8. No

[Betty Karlson]

9. BERN D.C. to the ground and cleanse it!

Sanders may not be perfect, but boy do we need his strength for this herculean task!

[MineralMan]

16. Not into the whole scorched earth thing. Sorry.

I'm not about burning things down, but building them up and fixing up what needs repair.

[Betty Karlson]

18. Berning and burning are two different things. Berning is constructive.

Burning is what happens when a firestorm rages - like whenever Wall Street is out of control. That's when the economy burns down. But no worry: we can Bern it.

[MineralMan]

19. Whatever you say, Betty.

Whatever you say...

[livetohike]

11. No. Not attracted to him at all for a variety of reasons. Chief among them is his

temperament. Nothing he says or does will change that. However, I am a lifelong Democrat and will vote for our nominee.

[1StrongBlackMan]

12. No. eom.

[Tanuki]

15. No, but I hear there is a cure for that berning sensation

[MineralMan]

17. Or Desenex if it's between your toes.

[Scootaloo]

41. So, you're calling Sanders a parasitic infection?

Interesting. continue, please.

[appalachiablue]

50. You'll reap what you sew. Bank on it.

[Tanuki]

56. Huh? That's a little too cryptic, even if you actually mean "sow" instead of "sew."

Care to elaborate? My grandmother was a pieceworker in a garment factory, so she literally did reap what she "sewed." There wasn't much left over to "bank" after providing for her 5 children, I'm sorry to say. I truly am mystified by your post and would be interested in what you mean.

[appalachiablue]

58. Not cryptic, mysterious or sow, just 'sew'. Similar to the relative's work, basic and necessary.

[Tanuki]

59. I'm still trying to understand. I'm very familiar with the biblical context,

Galatians Chapter 6, verse 7: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
Have I mocked God in making a joke about Sanders' campaign slogan? I actually like Sanders and would vote for him in the general election if he is the Democratic nominee. I find the "feel the Bern" slogan hackneyed and unoriginal, harking back to a 1980's workout video. It doesn't do anything for me, doesn't advance Sanders' message, and as used here at DU reminds me of an inane high school sports cheer, endlessly and mindlessly repeated ad nauseum.

Btw, I am a fellow Appalachian.

[libdem4life]

20. Last vote I was proud of was McGovern in 1972. This will be the 2nd. That's pretty

sad because all either party will put out are the centrists...regardless of their campaign Bull. it's a sad factor that the Center Left to Center Right are the majority...regardless of party...and that's who elects for the rest of us and has led us into almost full fledged Oligarchy. They all serve the money masters...except one.

[Punkingal]

21. Yep!

[Blue_Adept]

22. Nope. Mostly because it's been taking on a kind of cult status

[uponit7771]

25. +1

[sonofspy777]

64. Yeah a cult of truth!

What a concept!

[Blue_Adept]

65. I have zero issues with Bernie's positions

And will happily vote for him.

But I really despise the kind of cultish attitude that some prominent posters have. There's an messianic feeling about how they post about him that's disturbing and far too reminiscent of Freeper mentality.

[seaglass]

23. I don't feel the bern but am still open to voting for him. Just can't decide yet. n/t

[taught_me_patience]

24. Nope

I take a positive outlook on life. I'm not attracted to anger and negativity.

[Harmony Blue]

31. Good point

that is why I don't like a debbie downer like Clinton.

Bernie is full of energy and positive spirit to turn around our country!

[dlwickham]

26. Antibiotics work wonders for the bern

Psych meds might help as well

[appalachiablue]

28. Spoken by an expert clearly and good to know.

[MuseRider]

27. I talked to my oldest son last night

and he is so behind Sanders. He had been talking about him and I just let him talk. He had grown so cynical that he had stopped voting no matter what I said he just stopped. My younger son always votes but this older son, well he is smart but cynical. He will be 31 soon. He and all his friends and acquaintances are so ready for this. I am actually quite stunned. He has been talking about Bernie for a while but I was waiting for him to burn out and get all cynical again but nope. Feeling the Bern is an apt saying. He and his friends are scared to death and Bernie has brought to them all the things they want to make their lives livable and they don't see a livable, good life without these changes. Now MY son is not going to go calling or door to door but he will talk and he will argue and he WILL vote for Bernie. He also WILL be involved enough to be part of the "political revolution" to insure that the most that can be done will be done. Amazed here.

[Harmony Blue]

32. The storm is rising

Bernie is the only vote I can say I will be proud to make probably in my lifetime.

[saltpoint]

34. Excellent post. And very encouraging

to hear that Bernie Sanders has caught your son's ear.

Bernie's worth the attention. And your son's political hearing is clearly acute.

[WillyT]

66. + 1,000,000,000 What You Said !!! - That Is GREAT News !!!

[kestrel91316]

29. Yep.

[MohRokTah]

30. I felt that Bern once.

The doctor treated it with ampicillin.

[Scootaloo]

39. Comparing a Democratic candidate to a disease. Cute

[WillyT]

33. Oh Yeah...

[PowerToThePeople]

35. .

[LiberalElite]

37. Kick! nt

[ronnykmarshall]

38. No.

[Scootaloo]

40. No to green energy? No to re-investment in education and infrastructure? No to sane foreign policy?

huh. Well, you do you, I guess.

[ronnykmarshall]

43. Whatever ....

I answered the OP's question. NO, I do not support Bernie Sanders in the primary. And all the condescending, arrogant, self patting on the backs and insults from YOU and other Bernie supporters in this place won't sway me to support him. If anything I would basically just vote for him in the general if he got the nomination. I am sick of all the bullshit thrown at Hillary supporters by YOU and others. I would never vote for a republican, or join some bullshit #Bernieorbust type movement. Does that answer your question?

[Scootaloo]

44. Oh, if I wanted to insult you, I would.

The poster laid out his reasons to support sanders. You gave him a "no."

So, you oppose those notions? Or not?

Also, i'm sorry but Clinton supporters don't get to complain about insults or self-congratulatory attitudes. Especially not on a thread where your fellows are calling Sanders a disease.

[ronnykmarshall]

48. You please go for it.

Please throw your insults.

Like I SAID, I am SICK of the double standards. Sanders supports like yourself don't hold back for a minute to go into a pro-Hillary thread and start shit.

So don't act are pure and innocent.

And please point out where I have attacked Sen. Sanders. Yeah there are asshole on BOTH sides. So get off it.

[Scootaloo]

54. Talk about double standards....

You come here explicitly to shit on a pro-Bernie tread, then complain that "Well Sanders supporters do it!" You hold me responsible for all Sanders supporters, but want me to hold you separate other Clinton supporters. You don't seem sick of double standards. You seem sick of being held to the same standard you hold to others. That's an entirely different thing.

I have no desire to insult you. I find it odd that your response to a person calling for progress is a flat "no," and that your whole thing going in is just venom against people not supporting your candidate.

[libodem]

45. Feel the Bern?

I'm on fire. Sofa king on fire!

[Metric System]

46. I have heart burn whenever I see that taunting phrase.

[LWolf]

47. I sure do,

and it feels great.

[uponit7771]

49. I hear the hypocrisy more than I feel anything

[marions ghost]

51. Yep

the only candidate who speaks for the people.

[Metric System]

52. Nope, and I hope I never have to.

[Bjornsdotter]

53. I do! n/t

[kenfrequed]

55. Hell yes.

Hell yes I do.

[Live and Learn]

57. K&R nt

[Uncle Joe]

60. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Harmony Blue.

[azmom]

61. Bernie is on fire. The political revolution

is real. Hell yeah, I'm feeling the Bern!

[redstateblues]

62. Sadly I'm Berned out

I've tried. Can't feel it. I'll vote Dem even if I have to hold my nose

[myohmy2]

63. Yes, I FEEL THE BERN!

How can you not like Bernie?
