Oh wait.

I'm willing to bet more than half of them forget to actually vote as usual with young lefties. They need to stay in their safe spaces anyway. Lol.

Hillary takes this home shortly.

Bernie supporters seem to have a funny view that all of America is like Park Slope.

seem to think Bernie supporters (including Democrats and independents) are irrelevant. This young female lefty, age 76, has already voted - but not for Hillary.

We, my husband and I, are lifelong Democrats. I may vote for Hillary in the national, but my husband will never vote for her. I've tried to convince him that she is better than the Republican candidates to no avail. We're going to cancel each other out. This is going to happen way more than you would like.

P.S. You would be in luck if all you needed were Democratic voters - but you NEED those you disparage.

Supports Hillary.m

It's true I skipped out on John Kerry.

So I guess one of us is a Right wing plant huh?

Street Rally's are really fun and empowering.
They get people excited about the campaign and to get involved.

……would like to purge us from the party. She feels she can beat the Republicans without us. We're just nuisances to the "New Democrat".

Allowing the far left Berniecrats and Occupiers to dictate any Democratic Party policies is akin to what the GOP unleashed with the Tea party. An uncompromisingly angry faction of rabid ideologues who believe anyone who disagrees with them or represents interests not their own is a traitor and corrupt.

That's a revolution I want no part of.

Most working class Americans are not Marxists. As you will soon discover.

Bernie supporters Marxists. We are Roosevelt democrats. Grew up with his photograph hanging on the wall in our home.

….that you think Bernie supporters are Marxist.

Frankly, such rhetoric reminds me of the way some people talked during the McCarthy era.

That's okay though---no one needs you to be part of the effort. We'll share with you whatever good social policies we manage to squeeze out of her--we'll make sure they benefit you too. 'Cause that's how we roll.

Have a nice day.

Didn't you just accuse a poster of being a republican plant a few posts up? And here you are red baiting. Hmmmmm.

Calling out the Marxist strain in Bernie's views is just truth and he would not deny it.

But whatevs I know it's hard to lose.

"Red baiting" makes it sound like bigotry. But it's just truth. It's the left equivalent of the right's "class warfare" smear.

Or me calling Bernistas misogynists.

I didn't call it what I want. I pointed out what it is. It's red baiting. It's not something liberals do. That combined with the fact you were the first to call someone out as a republican plant...

Well partner...methinks thou doth protest to much.

If the foo shits...wear it.
