From a friend on Facebook who's been a huge Sanders supporter:

"I'm done with Bernie,he's become a rage-aholic". This is probably the most outspoken Bernie supporter/friend I know on Facebbok,so far silence from his fellow Bernie supporters.

Always refreshing when people see the light..

Thank you!

a good guy. He's got 6 likes so far(including mine) and one of his friends commented "he does seem to have some anger issues,doesn't he".

6. It's about time, right, Cha? We've seen it a long, long time ago that his "passion" was just rage -

BS's version of "raging against the machine" with nothing showing for it otherwise. This guy draws more Libertarians and Teapublicans (who will ultimately vote Republican in the end anyway) than he does sensible Democrats who understand the long game, and that the primary is a marathon, not a sprint.

I mean, how long can a person stay angry and enraged? It takes a LOT of energy - so much so that some people are just so plum tuckered out that they don't have the oomf to register with the correct Party or even vote.

8. Exactly. Anyone who really wanted to change something would have a calm, well-thought out plan.

More followed after Bernie wanting to debate Trump. I was worried for a while. I thought I'd have to go to each and every one of their homes to check for pods* growing in their backyards. Things are looking up.

*reference to the movie The Body Snatchers.

I'm obviously a Bernie supporter, but I've noticed a flood of threads about Hillary's e-mail "scandal" on this site. A lot of them make the site look like free republic. How far is too far?

There are sane Bernie supporters; it's just hard to see them sometimes.

9. One of my more vocal friends says she is still "canvassing"

She's in Arizona. I like her a lot, but I think she's full of shit unless she's a Bernie or Bust type. It saddens me.

That's great about your friend!
