they have totally lost it, this is the next outrage. BS supporters can't afford sending money

[juxtaposed]

b/c they are so poor? I thought we were middle-class white guys in volvos. I find it hard to believe any hrc supporter has a mirror in their home.

1. I saw it. Didn't want to pollute my own thread with it. But since you found it...

aren't they just awful people? Just hideous, the poutrage.

[juxtaposed]

9. awful? not sure. Just diffirent wiring in the head, that's all. Similar to critical thinking

skills, something is missing I'm not sure what but, it seems it covers most of them.

[liberalnarb]

23. Ha. I'll have to bookmark that clip. It will come in handy often.

[HubertHeaver]

2. They have mirrors all right.

They just don't cast a reflection.

[dchill]

51. That sucks!

[merrily]

77. Thread win

[nc4bo]

3. They represent Hillary Clinton. Enuff said.............nt

4. read this from the campaign

Great explanation of Bernie fundraising to date!

[St Aug girl]

59. Thank you for sharing.

Really enjoyed it. It was well done.

[CountAllVotes]

5. If you cannot afford $1 for someone you believe in

you've got major problems I'd say.

Hell that pack of cigarettes cost over $5.00.

I think anyone can cough up a buck.

Break well-deserved. Not bothering anyone IMO.

[stillwaiting]

6. Whoever said that is an asshole. Period. Fucking gross. nt

[Mike__M]

7. Well that was fun.

Yep -- I gave out of hatred of the Hillary Group at DU.

^^^ the above IS sarcasm ^^^

(I feel compelled to say that because they
Really. Just. Don't. Get. It.

[jillan]

8. Always throwing around insults. Truth is

Bernie's campaign hasn't been sending out a lot of fundraising emails lately. I've been wondering about that.

[bahrbearian]

10. They have been accusing him of gritting for about a month. So thats been coming from the top.

[warrprayer]

11. I can't afford

To not send Bernie money.

[bahrbearian]

12. "He CANNOT win and people who can't afford it are sending him money."..... We can't afford Hilary.

[840high]

61. Fo sho!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[intheflow]

14. That's funny. I could have sworn I sent him more money earlier this eveing.

I must have been mistaken. Because I can't afford it.

Actually, it's true. I can't afford it, but I still sent something. Because I believe an economy under Sanders will ultimately bring me more discretionary income. So I'm looking at my small donation as my investment portfolio. Maybe the Clinton people will understand my dedication to him if I put it it Wall Street terms.

[HooptieWagon]

15. They're just children.

This is as cerebral as they're capable of.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

16. Could someone please post a link to the DU Bernie fund? I can afford it.

[GoneFishin]

19. Here is the link to donate to Bernie: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

Here is the link to donate to Bernie: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

I donated just now. I couldn't afford not to.

[silvershadow]

26. Thank you! nt

[libdem4life]

17. My income is small, but I made it a budget item. Auto-deduct.

I highly encourage that at the level anyone can commit.

[silvershadow]

27. Thank you! I agree! nt

[hopemountain]

55. i did the same - and for a couple of

other dem candidates. not a whole lot - but what i could afford by going with the occasional movie rentals and pizza nights.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. I thought we outraised her in April?

[silvershadow]

28. We did. It's all smoke and mirrors with that group, so the ones complaining are the ones

who are being duped.

[Scootaloo]

20. It's the attitude one expects of people who would financially gain from a Trump presidency

[silvershadow]

30. Or possibly those with some sort of synapse disorder of the brain. nt

[Scootaloo]

32. Never assume a condition when it could be that they're just assholes.

[silvershadow]

36. Well, actually I was trying to not offend assholes by comparing them to HRC supporters.

[Scootaloo]

37. The average asshole can handle way worse shit than that.

[silvershadow]

40. Actually that's very true. And the average HCS can't even handle, well, the truth. nt

[Snarkoleptic]

21. Welp, I may not be a hedge-fund manager, but this has prompted me to

dust off my wallet and donate another $27 to Bernie.

[silvershadow]

31. Thanks, Snark! That's fantastic!

[Equinox Moon]

22. No. We are driving Gremlins!

[Scootaloo]

35. But Clarissa, why would you want a small mythological beast known for vandalism?

...Sorry, awkward 90's flashback.

[GoneFishin]

63. .... you mean the 70's. But you remember those little fuzzy things in a movie were also called

gremlins.

[Scootaloo]

68. I quoted a line from an old Nickelodeon show, Clarissa Explains It All

[GoneFishin]

69. I understood. I was trying to be funny, but failed.

[Equinox Moon]

70. The AMC car from the 70's "Gremlin"

It is a really nerdy car verses the poster saying we drove volvos.

[Fuddnik]

24. They're getting funnier by the day.

Sent an extra $100 in tonight, on top of my monthly contribution, which will continue until November if necessary. And I'll keep sending extra contributions as needed.

And my dogs shaking me down for Frosty Paws twice a day. I'll be so poor, I'll have to start drinking cheaper vodka.

[silvershadow]

33. Yes! That's really super. Thank you!

to you

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

62. Had to laugh... good one Fuddnuk!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[senz]

25. First I noticed they weren't very nice. Then that they don't seem very intelligent.

Lately I just wonder what's wrong with them. Something's ... not right. And that is probably the most intolerable thing about posting out on GD . Quite a few people there I would not willingly choose to spend my time around for any reason other than helping Bernie.

I do it for the lurkers, for any political junkies out there, for journalists and other media workers who peek in from time to time, for undecided voters. I try to K&R OPs that should be seen and to promote Bernie and demote the lesser candidates. But the whole thing feels squalid and demeaning, and if the wrong candidate gets the nomination, I'm not sure what I'd want to use DU for. For light conversation? Special interests? Eh, I'm most likely on the ban list anyway, so it probably won't matter. And that's okay.

The vast majority of Bernie supporters, otoh, come through as real human beings. Good people, awake, aware, possessing depth and humanity, nice to be around. Most of us will be reachable at JPR.

It's kind of amazing how different the supporters of the two candidates are.

The one really big rally I attended felt so incredibly upbeat, cheerful, friendly, peaceful, considerate, safe. So many young people too, and they cheered at all the places that politically aware people cheer at, and I was so impressed with them. I hope the political revolution gathers momentum and begins changing this country in all kinds of ways, big and small.

[haikugal]

29. Thank you for this Senz. I totally agree, very big difference between people. nt

[senz]

45. I think it's gonna help me with the occasional "difficult person" IRL.

Just sort of politely put them on ignore.

[silvershadow]

34. They are like the pods from Invasion of the Body Snatchers or possibly Stepford Voters. nt

[senz]

43. Must be an awfully sterile existence.

But it would explain why they are so hard to find any common ground with.

Remember when Hill said she would address UFOs if she gets elected? Hmm.

OMG.

[silvershadow]

47. OMG!!! You are right! I bet they are

reptilians! LOL

[senz]

56. Exhibit A

[silvershadow]

58. That one has apparently opened his home to the Clintons/their entourage of people.

At least from what he has been saying. I don't care for "political tourists" whatever the hell that is. (excuse for having donated to the Repbulicans and attending a Republican goat rope of some sort in Iowa).

[winter is coming]

39. Authoritarian candidates attract a different type of followers. n/t

[senz]

44. This country needs therapy. A national shrink.

[JDPriestly]

48. I've been working with the Bernie volunteers in Los Angeles.

What a wonderful group. Kind and gentle.

Really great people. Lots of nurses and grandparents. Lots of very young people with hopes and dreams. It's a good mix. They are all very kind, I notice. And most of them have no political experience although some in Pasadena are not only wonderful people but seasoned campaigners.

[senz]

53. It's possible that we all share his traits to some extent

and that is a very nice thought.

[Art_from_Ark]

80. That is certainly part of his appeal

[grasswire]

60. that's true!

There's no one at a Bernie rally screaming "right wing source!!" or some other insult.

[libdem4life]

67. Just a thought...if HRC woms she and Bill

back into the White House, my thought is that the material will practically write itself. Also we'll need consolation and get ready for 2016.

We admittedly failed in the midterms last time. There are a number of candidates and down ticket races that were fueled by Bernie. I just hope he isn't too tired or Fed up to mentor his fledglings. And many of us can be found here .

[pokerfan]

38. We're down to vacuum pennies

Last edited Sat May 21, 2016, 03:30 AM - Edit history (1)

“Rachel, the other candidates, they’re taking millions of dollars from the Koch brothers and Exxon Mobil, but not me. I only accept coins. And I’m not talking about fancy coins like dimes and quarters. I just want nickels and pennies — the coins of the middle class.”

“And Rachel, I don’t want new pennies, I’m talking about those old pennies that are so covered in hard, black gunk you can’t even read the date.”

“So America, if you believe in Bernie, I need you to go home, open your closet, pull out your vacuum, dump it upside down, and send me all the pennies that fall out of it. That’s right, I’m Bernie Sanders, and I want your vacuum pennies.”

[silvershadow]

41. Bwahahaha! I missed that one completely. Hilarious!

[Contrary1]

50. Still better than begging for dollars from the Republicans. n/t

[mhatrw]

42. LOL

[JDPriestly]

46. The Hillary bunch are just not very intelligent.

I spoke to three Hillary people today. (I spoke to far more Bernie supporters.) Not a one of them had a clue. All middle-aged women who will just vote what they are told to vote.

Seems like we Bernie supporters are grandparents, grandkids and parents of Bernie supporters. That's what I find. There are lots of exceptions, but as a rule we are the young people, the grandparents of the young and those parents who talk to their children who found Bernie first.

I am overgeneralizing. The Hillary people don't seem to be able to talk about why they like Hillary. I am not very intimidating-looking and it takes a lot to make me mad, so I think they are being as honest as they can be with me. The Hillary supporters just seem kind of confused and baffled when you try to talk politics with them. The Bernie supporters look you in the eye and talk about their favorite issues. So do the libertarians you encounter as you campaign. So the libertarians know more why they are for what they are for than the Hillary supporters. Strange times.

[winter is coming]

52. I know I've said something like this before but I think it bears repeating.

IMO, the divide in this election isn't based on race, gender, age, or socioeconomic status. It's about who trusts their television and who doesn't.

It's about who does and doesn't have the time and/or inclination to peer behind the facade.

It's about who's willing to admit that the status quo isn't working and who's too afraid of change to risk it.

It's about who sees that we're stuck on downward slope and need to correct that, fast, and who hopes things can muddle along as they are, at least for their lifetime.

[mac56]

66. Right on, Winter.

It's about who took the red pill, and who took the blue pill.

[dchill]

54. "Nobody told me there'd be days like these...strange days indeed..."

[Contrary1]

49. No worries, I can afford it. n/t

[Fuddnik]

57. Dang! I forgot to check under the seat cushions on the couch.

And in the car seats.

And I had a dish of pennies on the coffee table I was saving for a pizza next month.

[Peregrine Took]

64. "We" are carefree college students, sponging off our parents who love to stand in lines for rallies!

That's a comment I read today.

The HRC people are hard working grown ups who are busy taking care of their families and obligations and stuff so they don't have TIME to waste to waiting in line!

And the same dude said Bernie is going to get creamed the same way McGovern did?

Oh Lordee, the tired, recycled old rhetoric - can't they come up with something new?

We Deaniacs were called "latte drinking Saab drivers." Now that Saab is out of business - what's another Swedish car??

[potone]

65. I just sent him money again.

I don't have a lot to spend on campaigns, but I can't afford not to support him.

[Autumn]

71. That's the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

How in the hell does she know what other people can afford or not afford to do. It's an excuse to trash Bernie supporters. Fuck that shit, Hillary begs for money from republicans. God the stupidity is beyond measure. And they fucking vote

[smokey nj]

72. How soon they forget Hillary harassing poor Maddi for a dollar.

[pa28]

73. Bernie's continued presence in this race just makes them unglued with fury and hatred.

Stay in all the way Bernie! Let them unmask themselves.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

74. I feel good about California

Bernie is and will be all over the state, (Sacramento, San Francisco, San Diego, Carson, Santa Monica, Irvine, San Jose, Anaheim, leaving out any??) Got a notice today a new office is opening in Latino-heavy East L.A. His numbers among Latinos and young people here will astound everyone. He's campaigning his heart out, so we shouldn't be sidetracked or discouraged by the spin and lies from the HRC campaign. But must keep the moola coming, whatever we can manage.



TO YOU ALL!

SaschaHM

47. I'm actually enjoying it.

It will only make the inevitable crash hurt worse and after all the attacks on icons (Dolores Huerta, John Lewis, etc.) and lies, I want that crash to hurt. I hope they show some tears when he finally concedes and returns to the Senate a broken and defeated failure.

[deepestblue]

81. _

Thanks to their millions+ payout, I just assume that every single (yes, every one) post in favor of Bernie's opponent is being paid and doesn't really feel that way. Why do you think his opponent's poll numbers are falling like a leaf... There are multiple reasons and this is one.
