Would it matter? Did MOM see a surge in black support? aikoaiko Nov 2015 #1
It would matter to the black folks being harassed!!! bravenak Nov 2015 #2
How is saying one thinks Bernie is the best choice harassing black folk? aikoaiko Nov 2015 #6
They flood any comment not positive about Bernie. bravenak Nov 2015 #8
No one is claiming that. Not everyone harasses. Just a loud, obnoxious, prominent group. n/t pnwmom Nov 2015 #108
It's pretty simple: Ron Green Nov 2015 #3
They are smothering their chances with their harassment. bravenak Nov 2015 #4
Nah - they're not out harassing likely voters, Ron Green Nov 2015 #5

He hired Symone Sanders, right? bravenak Nov 2015 #20
True. Full stop. JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #21
If people would stfu and just listen and stop this shit? YES. bravenak Nov 2015 #56
It's only a small number of people doing this jfern Nov 2015 #61
Then why do you guys not find them and check them instead of exoecting us to ignore them? bravenak Nov 2015 #69
Send me a PM when you find something. I'm a diehard Sanders fan but happy to tell someone to STFU JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #71
I will. bravenak Nov 2015 #72

Bravenak used to be a strong Bernie supporter. pnwmom Nov 2015 #109
Not that strong apparently. Kentonio Nov 2015 #139
Maybe if his fans stopped trashing me constantly, I'd stfu. bravenak Nov 2015 #140
Perhaps if you didn't write a dozen posts a day Kentonio Nov 2015 #142
He deserves my insults for that 'urban crime' thing he said about guns. bravenak Nov 2015 #144
Except it had absolutely nothing to do with race, and Clinton had previously said exactly the same? Kentonio Nov 2015 #145
Yeah right. Tell that on the mountain! bravenak Nov 2015 #147
Which part? Kentonio Nov 2015 #148
He is still saying it. She is NOT. bravenak Nov 2015 #149
Look, I'm not arguining with that at all Kentonio Nov 2015 #150

As I read it, I thought you could have written it. nt betsuni Nov 2015 #42
Me too. I should write one with links galore! bravenak Nov 2015 #105
You really should. Pretty please! Cathartic to write for you and beneficial for the rest of us. betsuni Nov 2015 #124
Maybe you should put that sarcasm tag somewhere else. Kentonio Nov 2015 #141
