Money being raised for Dems candidates across the USA. And yes, they are angering the Dems who want to help get the GOPers out of congress.

Yeah, sure he will. First they'll have to pass the Purity Test invented by his most rabid acolytes.

Hillary, meanwhile, has been making sure funds are funneled downward to other Democrats besides herself.

These BS people are unbelievably blinkered by their ideology.

I was starting to feel mean for relishing in the fact that this is Sander's last one feasible chance to be president and that he is falling short, but these guys make me want to shout that from the rooftops with glee.

Nothing actually.

Now, his neighbors on the other hand may be unhappy with all this noise.

I understand the passion on Bernie's side, but this type of situation isn't getting one thing accomplished. Not ONE thing.

George Clooney should be able to have HIS preference as to who HE wants to be POTUS without all of the protesting IMO.

Remember a certain prolific poster who said women and blacks who supported Hillary Clinton must be suffering from the Stockholm syndrome? He's from there. Wouldn't be surprised if he's among the people protesting in the video.

Personally I like the city with the exception of the handful of annoying self righteous loudmouths who live there.

We have the most qualified candidate running--a brainy woman, and then we have someone with the qualifications, style, and initials that fit the second part of your quote remark.

So the supporters of a so-called Democrat protest an event of a real Democratic. And real Democrats are suppose to fall in line with the 'revolution'? Don't think so.

They hate the rich. You see, the rich are all the problem. Their money is tainted no matter what they do with it. The $15 from normal people is the only important thing.

Well, technically I live in Burlingame, but we are not all batty, I swear. I heard this was actually organized by a local branch of ISO Trotskyites. They, in turn, are considered sell-outs by the SWP for even supporting Bernie. There's always someone further out on the left-wing, lol.

The Trump circus, I mean, the CA GOP convention will be in my town this month. That's the one I'm protesting at.

At the beginning of the campaign I thought of Bern and all his supporters as being slightly loopy, head-in-the-clouds idealists but I thought they were generally very happy types.

Then I said something REALLY NICE about Bernie once and said we were all basically on the same side (this was early in the process). Got ripped a new one in grand fashion by a hardcore Bernie Bro.

Then it happened again

And again

and again


I'm cured.

While I am sure many are legitimate BS supporters, this is just the type of charade the Karl Rove wing the Republican party would organize and suck in clueless BS supporters.

Aside from the fact that most of the money raised will go to support down ticket candidate.
