(1,462 posts)I'm not surprised someone alerted. The Bernie sheeple will not tolerate facts or other people's opinions. You would think they might have learned that ignoring other people's opinions leads to an echo chamber where life is peachy, when in reality it is much different.

(233 posts)I came to DU thinking this was a place to support the left. Seems that is not the case.
Isn't it good that Bernie has high approval? Don't we want that rather than Trump having high approval?

Intellectual prowess? Thank you, again.

(35,454 posts)Women are tired of going along to get along, haveing their issues secondized and there is a feeling that is exactly where BS stands. And there are other issues. In addition, there is resentment that he wants to lead a group he says he doesn't want to be a part of and with whom he won't share his lists and people wonder why. Especially now that he and WEaver have set up a 501c/3.

(22,913 posts)When Bush was getting those ratings the entire U.S. Congress was standing arm in arm on the steps of the Capital singing patriotic songs together. No doubt you have a point to make but that factoid isn't a useful way, IMO, to make it.
