3. How the hell do you stand this crap, BT? As a black Sanders supporter, how do you stand it?

How do you feel when you see OPs from people screaming that "old" black people are now to be reviled? The folks that got their asses beat to give our black asses the right to fucking vote, to get us educated, allow us to work where we want, are now "the problem" because they are not rallying around the "right" candidate?

How do you stand it? That black people are stupid/uninformed now because most have rejected Sanders. That it's "Stockholm Syndrome" and not that people just don't want that man as their president.

You have never shit on Clinton as far as I can tell and Lord knows you don't just "stumble" into this forum just to prop up Sanders. You have always been an incredible contributor to this group and to this web site. You have ALWAYS been *here* and not just when it's convenient. But I want to know how you feel reading this stuff. Personally, as someone who is not enthusiastic about any of these people, I can barely stomach it. It is absolutely rage inducing.

How do you feel reading this kind of stuff?
