Bernie is Sick, and Tired, according to

[getagrip_already]

Bernie himself.

Morning Joe did a mashup of him repeating his famous exhumation "I am sick and tired of".....

I thought he said it a lot, but they got a bunch of them.

Pretty funny. He will probably love it.

I'm sure someone can find it. I couldn't.

1. Hey, man, everyone has their phrases they fall back on.

[getagrip_already]

2. it wasn't a knock - I really thought it was funny.......

just pointing it up to lighten things up.

5. My bad

[ehrnst]

3. Much easier than listening closely and responding mindfully.

4. "a lot of people are saying" "only the BEST!"

6. Aren't we all "sick and tired" of the status quo? of the corruption of the insurance industry?

Sick and tired of this administration
Sick and tired of the bickering in our own party?
Sick and tired of republicans getting away with murder?
Sick and tired of politicians saying what they think we want to hear then doing something else when in power?
Sick and tired of running memes like "people love their insurance" when we all know its not true?
Sick and tired of the ignorance of the USA citizens?
Sick and tired of watching trump's face on TV and listening to his awful voice and ignorance?
Sick and tired of republicans trying to destroy education?
Sick and tired of republicans trying to kill Obamacare/
Sick and tired of politicians saying that "Medicare for All" cannot be done?
Sick and tired of the corruption of the oil industry who corrupt our politicians?
Sick and tired of lobbyists who work on behalf of corruption and help destroy the planet?
Sick and tired of lobbyists who are hard at work to destroy our social benefits for which we pay for?
Sick and tired of seeing the trump children get away with their corruption?
etc.

There is so much that Bernie is "Sick and tired of " that we are also "Sick and tired of ", I fail to see the comedy on that, and I am "Sick and tired of " people making fun of petty stuff while missing the context of the statements which should be where are focus is.

7. Bernie has been a Senator for how long?

He is part of the status quo.

[Perseus]

9. If we start with that premise of how long in office then your choice candidate is too

Just in case we have a misunderstanding of what "status quo" means:
STATUS QUO: the existing state of affairs, especially regarding social or political issues.

Bernie and Warren have progressive ideas, they want to make changes, not keep the same, which is what status quo means. They are both campaigning to end the "status quo" not to preserve it, they don't believe in the insurance and republican meme that "people love their insurances" or that we need "to take things slowly", that "we cannot go ahead and implement Medicaid For All, or FREE Education, etc." that is what it means going against the "status quo". In that sense you are wrong about Bernie, or Warren, no they are not the "status quo", they mean change.

We need to support all of our candidates and stop nitpicking on every little thing we find, and sometimes it feels like people are doing just that.

By the way, Amy has been in the Senate since 2006.

10. I have no misunderstanding of status quo

Actions speak louder than words.

15. Nothing like responding with an open ended comment with no facts to back it up

So please, do explain.

I am not here to campaign for Sanders, or Warren, or against any other candidate, I like them all and I know any of them will be far better than the criminal we have in the house today, but please, don't throw phrases out there with no substance to support them, its not good for the discussion.

My post was about the nitpicking that we seem to see more and more as we get closer to Iowa, the discourse we are bringing against our own when we Democrats always point out that republicans will eventually eat their own because that is what they do, so I find very sad to see that in the Democratic community. I understand there are trolls all around us, but those who are not need to reject those type of unnecessary comments that lead to nothing but discourse.

8. And to illustrate that his most significant legislative achievement is naming post offices

12. I couldn't possibly care less. That's probably why I won't.

[Perseus]

16. Wow, never expected that kind of an answer from a Democrat

It reminds me of a republican friend of mine who has three daughters, we were discussing about the con during the election and I said to her, "you have three daughters, you have to care who you vote for.", needless to say, although she is a very smart woman academically (Engineering), she is a complete ignorant when it comes to politics, so she responded "My grandparents were republican, my parents are republican, so I am a republican, I don't want to hear anything more."...At that point I just said "OK, I will respect that.", we are still very good friends.

13. His votes against sanctions on Russia and the Brady Bill should be at the top of that list. nt

14. Just did a quick search for it, haven't found it yet, but if I find it I'll post it here.

It does sound funny.

And FWIW, I say "sick and tired" a lot, too. Most people do, I think.
