I've never seen an easier group to tweak than the BSers on DU.

(3,733 posts)Bernie is finished so I havent argued anything with
them but the math.
Whatever they bring up I mention the delegate and vote
count.
I can smell the panic thru the interwebs.
All but the ones in darkest depths of denial know he's done.
That revolution isn't real...it's just a wish. Made up of the same
stuff as Bernie math and Bernie logic.

(38,506 posts)She'll go over on the first ballot.
Then Bernie can go on to be an unpleasant footnote
and his more robust supporters can back to wherever
it is they came from.
I am very happy that the Democratic Party was able to keep
our nominee from being chosen by people who mostly aren't even Democrats.
Leave the angry hateful bombast to the RW T-Baggers.

Walk away
(9,494 posts)The post was hidden or I would have explained that I prefer people living in the real world. They believe that Bernie is going to win the nomination. They really do. It's very crazy.

them.
I have my fingers crossed that when the Berniebros
have gone on to the next shiny thing Bernie gets
his committee assignments downgraded.

(24,401 posts)run a real D against him in 2018.
griffi94
(3,733 posts)I'm old enough to realize that there are no perfect politicians
But the ones like Bernie. Who never did anything but sit
in a safe senate seat and point out that everybody but him is dishonest.
Hell it's easy to be pure if you don't ever do anything.
He wears his failures like badges of honor and in politics that doesn't work.
In politics a noble loss is just a loss.
Bernies dudebros really don't get that part.
I'd love to see the Democrats start a campaign against him now.
Find a young liberal Democrat in Vermont and take his seat.

(3,733 posts)and angry progressives.
They seem to show up every 4 years.
And they MO always seems to be that they're really angry and opposed to
something somebody else did.
They never seem to have very much that they're actually for
byond the vaugest of issues.
They are not detail oriented.

(12,265 posts)What I have been saying all along. He has a useless record in the Senate anyway. My guess is they are banking some of those 27 dollar donations so they can retire.

Walk away
(9,494 posts)on these panel shows. Everyone else acts as if Bernie doesn't matter anymore and her job is to remind everyone he is still running. Then the interviewer will point out that he can't win and then asks "So what does Bernie want?" That's when Nina delivers the ransom note from Sanders. It's always his entire platform and a homemade pie!

(3,212 posts)Trolling with the Truth.
There's this crazy forum I go to and argue politics. Some of the right wingers and now some of the Bernie supporters go ape over facts. Oh well.
Walk away
(9,494 posts)They believe he can somehow "Gobble up" her vote and delegate lead. It would be tragic if they weren't such hateful bullies!
Henhouse
(646 posts)I figured I'd give Sander's an opportunity to urge his supporters to tone it down and work towards party unity. He failed to do the right thing. His poor supporter still believe he has a viable path to the nomination.....
I feel bad for them but I think unity is a pipe dream. His supporters are going to go scorched earth...Bernie or bust
I went back into GD-P this weekend and only got one hide but they are extremely sensitive....

(3,733 posts)That's why Hillary is blowing Bernie out of the water.
The majority of the Bernie supporters in the real world
are going to vote for Hillary in November.
DU just happens to be overrun with the small brigade of Bernie fans
who are now and have always been angry.
They most likely vote for 3rd party or protest non vote as much as they vote for Democrats.
Just look at the states where the primaries were closed.
Bernie didn't just lose. He got buried.
Even in open primary states Hillary has won more than Bernie has.
The dudebros here just like to throw bombast.
They've lost and now the butthurt will set in.
I don't even argue with them
I just keep posting that Hillry has hundreds more deleagtes
nd millions more votes and the support of the superdelegates.

Vogon_Glory
(9,138 posts)That won't stop some of Bernie's fan-boys and fan-girls from making T O S complaints. I had a couple of my post hidden because some indignant little dear thought my swipes at the Republicans actually referred to them.
For the benefit of Bernie's fan-base, when I call a certain political faction a Gathering Of Psychotics, I am making a word-play mocking the Republican Party calling themselves the Grand Old Party. GOP. Gathering Of Psychotics. There isn't ANYTHING about Senator Sanders and his followers UNLESS YOU PUT IT THERE WITH YOUR OWN MINDS. I was referring to the REPUBLICANS.
Get it?
Geez, I hope so.
NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)Their current meme is victimhood. They love to find something to be outraged about. Everything, after all, is about them.
Vogon_Glory
(9,138 posts)I thought I'd stay high-minded and avoid name-calling, but the ultra-purist attitudes of so many of Bernie's fan-boys and fan-girls started honking me off. I started having flashbacks to the 2000 elections and decided that I had enough. Hillary may not be a progressive's progressive, but she's way better than the Trump and Teabag alternatives we were faced with until the Calgary Kid was forced out.
A lot of the Bernie fans still need to get off their high horses and take a realistic stock as to where their infantile mind-set and look at the abyss a Nader-style third-party tantrum could take us and take the planet.
I'm glad you were there with a needle.
Tarc
(10,478 posts)One for almost 2 weeks now. I guess since Bernie's chances have faded to near-zero, some ar getting a bit rancorous.
redstateblues
(10,565 posts)And stop pointing out the errors of BSS ways hoping they would start grasping the reality of Bernie's situation. It didn't last long. The main thing I take issue with is when BSS start calling anyone, including Hillary, who doesn't agree with them a Republican. I will continue swatting that down when I encounter it. It looks like I'll be doing it until June. Can't wait til the convention.

For a group of individuals who have been so aggressive for months and MONTHS, for all the attacks, for all the smears, for all the SHIT they've put us through... it turns out that they're really delicate flowers after all.
Who knew?
Every little thing gets them in such a hyperventilating tizzy.

(25,845 posts)When there's a newly posted OP by a Hillary supporter on GDP and I see it again five minutes later and there are dozens of sputtering hysterical comments that have little to do with Reality World where grown-ups have things called "conversations."

It's been a raging mess for over a year now.. tyranny rules.. and so what if someone is not cowered and stands up to it.. they're not the "nasty" ones.
