clinton vs. sanders your vote? — Page 84

I think the point was that Bernie fared better in head-to-head polls versus the various GOP frontrunners. May be true, but polls like that are fairly irrelevant this far out before the election.

There's a subset of voters who believe in their hearts that there's no difference between voting Republican and voting for Clinton, so "truth" seems to be a gooey concept here.

Up until now I never wanted to slap Gene Kelly.

I think his plan is "We need a revolution!" That's his plan to pay for free public college.

It's been quite remarkable watching a few of the younger people in my set who are tea-baggily dedicated to Bernie and their casual yet vitriolic bile they're deploying against Hillary. They are TOTALLY buying the Republican narrative of the Clintons being literally the worst people on planet earth and they are frequently using misogynist language in their condemnations.

I know for a fact that if I called out the guy who yesterday referred to her as "Hilldog" in his diatribe about how eloquent his writing-in Bernie will be in the event Hillary gets the nomination, he would have required a trigger warning before I did so and then he would have had to go to a quiet safe space with Play-Doh, bean bag chairs, shag carpeting and adult coloring books to recover from my "personal attack" and/or bullying.

I've been volunteering for the Sanders campaign since September and haven't met one person like Namo describes. Nice anecdote though.

"So, something new that I've noticed from the Sanders' kids - When they're now confronted with "no matter who the nominee is, we all need to be in this together and vote for the Democrat so Trump doesn't win" - their response is "I'M NOT A DEMOCRAT! I'M AN INDEPENDENT AND I'M VOTING FOR BERNIE!"

Yup. A sign that many Democrats are unhappy with the direction of the Democratic party. Which is part of the reason turn out at the primaries has been so low. Not a good sign for a general election.

I think that Sanders should have rooms set up at all his appearances called "Sanders' Safe Space", so that the young ones can have a gender neutral, pronoun free, padded ground playground with a vegan, gluten free cafeteria so that they feel safe and welcomed.

Yeah, erik, I KNOW it's anecdotal in exactly the same way people saying they haven't seen ANYTHING like it are basing the statement on their anecdotal experiences. But I am happy to ride the surf with you and wait out the times when anecdotes are relevant and when they are just anecdotes.

Yesterday it was four young people from my place of employment who are echo-chambering each other about writing in Bernie (even though we live in a place where those are thrown out if the candidate hasn't filed to be a write-in candidate) and one encouraging the other because, and I quote, "Kevin Spacey said the same thing!'.

"I think that Sanders should have rooms set up at all his appearances called "Sanders' Safe Space", so that the young ones can have a gender neutral, pronoun free, padded ground playground with a vegan, gluten free cafeteria so that they feel safe and welcomed."

Man, you're on fire today!

What I've learned here from you guys is that Hillary is hated severely and going to lower Dem turnout. Am I wrong? PJ, do you see some kind of big love affair going to her?

Allright, Hillary is hated, yours and Jordan's posts on this page.

Haven't you guys been talking about Sanders crazies who won't vote for Hillary?
