Then read the article at the link I provided. Then try, real hard, to capture the point.

This post -- with the picture and the quote--could be taken more than one way. It's not about disagreeing with Senator Sanders, it's about posting a picture that is ambiguous in provenance and not explaining that the comment in the picture is satirical.

If the intent was humor and satire, the intent was ambiguous. My goal is simply to clear up that ambiguity.

You, apparently, want to fight about fracking and the TPP and accuse people of being in the tank for those things. That's not what this thread is about.
