Bernie's In

How does it feel to be used? I have been a democrat all of my voting years and I feel that I have been used and was very naïve thinking that these deceptive "wolves in sheep's clothing" people who have an antisocial personality disorder really cared about our society.

If you think he was treated fairly you share a different reality than I do.

Someone who joins a political party, has no allegiance to that party, tries to use the party strictly for his own ends and then cries about how unfair they are to him in return - gets no sympathy from me.

That sounds like code word for tribe or gang.

As I have progressed ethically I came to pledge an allegiance to all of the human race.

Earlier, we saw...


The chances that you are not lying in the first quote are approximately zero.

So you go on ignore and I recommend that others put you there as well.

Putting your head in the sand is a good way to keep from hearing the inconvenient truth.

Bernie Sanders Will Not Concede To Hillary Clinton

Can someone be banned for being a public nuisance?


Not seriously, but damn.

I know what you mean, but free speech is a right. At least on a2k, you can IGNORE any poster.

I said not seriously, and you lecture anyway.

The Young Turk (TYT) discusses the Bernie Sanders Speech and what it means. Click on video to hear what commentator Cenk Uygur thinks of the speech.

Perhaps it is a code word for tribe or gang (I think that is silly but for the sake of argument...) Sander's chose to join the gang knowing the rules going in and then decided to cry the whole time about those rules.

It is like joining a particular congregation of a church, then complaining of the doctrine of that church. If you don't like the church's doctrine, join another church.

The same with Sander's. He knew there were states in which independents could not vote. He knew about delegates and super delegates. He knew Hillary Clinton was/is a very established democrat highly regarded by the top democrats who are those super delegates and the ones who give out endorsements. He knew Wasserman was the head of the DNC (in my opinion, next year that should be changed, never really liked her, nothing to do with this election) and he also knew there were close ties between Wasserman and Hillary. Regardless of those ties, there was no favoritism. The debate schedule did not mean anything to Hillary, she could and did take him on just fine, she didn't need favors to keep her from debating Sanders.

When Obama ran against Hillary in 2008, all the super delegates were in favor of Hillary over him as well. They didn't indicate they were going to switch to him until it was clear he was beating Hillary in the votes and delegates, something Bernie Sanders didn't do. Hillary won fair and square.

You won't regret it. I've had Unthinking Hysteria on ignore for about three years, never been tempted to peek, not once.

After some 20 years of engaging others on discussion boards, trolls become evident fairly quickly. The most common and transparent gambit is the "I've been a Dem voter all my life - until now" followed by some series of right wing cliches. And engaging such trolls is, as most of us understand from experience, not merely a waste of time but the primary cause of the degradation of the discussion board. There are smart, honest, and sincere conservatives. They are worth engaging. But golly they are rare.

I don't think he's a rightwing troll. If I thought he was a rightwing troll he would actually go up in my estimation, I don't think he's that smart. I think he's an idiot. He takes David Icke seriously, that's how much of an idiot he is.

Ah. Well you certainly know the fellow better than I. I would revisit my thesis but as I have him on ignore, there's no way by which I will be able to do that. How unfortunate.

I actually wasn't familiar with David Icke so did a brief (very) check on the fellow. Yikes. Further evidence to piss on the "it takes all kinds" sentiment.

Blatham... you're funny.

You think that's funny. You should watch me approach breasts with relish.

Do women like that?

He is a guy to meet, sane from time to time - in fantasy I could see your two talking with dsy pointing fingers in a jolly way.

Be careful there or he may invite you too for a threesome and talk about how funny it was.
