‘We have people in positions of leadership who use their power to try to quiet those who disagree with them’
…And (clearly!) we also have self-important idiots who simply are happier hogging the spotlight than being a team player.

The Berniebro, though steadfastly a Berniebro now, will not always be such. You can sense this. Soon, maybe already, the Berniebro will become a Schoolboardbro. Or a Municipalparkingbro. Or, heaven help us, a Localhistoricaldistrictzoningrestrictionsbro.
Yet today the Berniebro is still a Berniebro. The Berniebro is #FeelingtheBern. And until Sanders drops out of the race, the Berniebro wants you to #FeeltheBern, too.

A small riot erupted in Salt Lake City after police shot a teenage boy near a homeless shelter on Saturday night.
The shooting occurred at around 8pm in the northern part of the city, near a shopping mall about five miles east of the airport. Witness Selam Mohammed, 19, told local news outlets that his friend was trying to break up a fight outside the Road Home, a homeless shelter, when police arrived on the scene.

We need to stop tolerating cops who kill at will. They are not justified. It is not understandable. It is murder pure and simple. Betraying the public’s trust need to be severely punished, every single fucking time. There is no excuse for giving racist thugs special privileges. Shoot an unarmed person? Lose your badge and pension. Every single time. If it turns out a cop shoots someone when they were not in danger then it needs to be lengthy jail sentences. Every single time. The police involved need to be tried, convicted of murder, and jailed for 1st degree murder.
“It is a result that should begin to crush the popular and often repeated myth that black political behavior in 2008 and 2012 was nothing more than a blip, a fleeting kind of emotion-only engagement inspired by a singular and history-making black candidate.”
What the fuck? Popular with who? Dipshit pundits who put way too much importance on what is being said inside the bubble of DC, forgetting that if no one outside the surreality bubble is saying or thinking it, then no, you can really call it a popular or mainstream idea? Oft-repeated by who? Dip pundits who are so out of touch with the rest of the country that they think the upper middle class politico inside DC are the entire fucking country. Seriously… Who the fuck are these people and how can they gain just a small fucking taste of perspective?
Source: Clinton win in S.C. highlights gulf between black, white voters – CSMonitor.com
…the rather standard and presumptive claim that the party, which is home to the most racially and ethnically diverse array of voters, must leave the earliest and most influential choice about its presidential candidate to two states that look very little like the party or the country. The argument that voters in Iowa and New Hampshire are somehow specially trained or primed and therefore “take the responsibility seriously,” in some sort of unique way, seems largely emotional, even nostalgia-driven in the light of turnout results in far more diverse South Carolina.
If the turnout patterns and election outcomes look the same in most Super Tuesday states, consider that another blow. Voters in New Hampshire and Iowa didn’t simply behave quite differently than those in Nevada and South Carolina; they delivered different election outcomes indicating that, for them, Sanders’s message and Sanders’s political priorities were a good or at least not an uncomfortable fit.
What Hillary Clinton’s massive win among black voters really says – The Washington Post
Look you fuckwits, it’s not about Iowa or NH being representative, it’s about them being smaller media markets where you can successfully run without have a ton of cash in your war chest. What the fuck part of that is so damn hard for you dipshits to understand?

Former President Bill Clinton accused Bernie Sanders’ supporters of sexist attacks against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton at a campaign event in Milford, New Hampshire yesterday.”She and other people who have gone online to defend Hillary and explain — just explain — why they supported her have been subject to vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane often — not to mention sexist — to repeat,” Clinton said.”When you’re making a revolution, you can’t be too careful about the facts,” Clinton jabbed.
Don’t fuck with someone the big dog loves, you ignorant neophytes!!
Yes. I’m one of those people. I’m totally on Team Bernie and so excited to be a part of the political revolution.
Don’t Hate Me For Constantly Posting About Bernie Sanders’ For President. — Medium
A friends of mine posted this article on facebook.
A few things…
Starting with the most tiresome: Shut the fuck up with the mainstream media won’t talk about Bernie shit already. You sound like fucking Sarah Palin for god’s sake repeating that garbage. Unless you are under the deluded illusion that the media should be promoting Bernie’s agenda over anyone else’s (and no, they won’t, shouldn’t and wouldn’t. Live in reality nitwits!!!) you’re beyond full of shit all the way to just flat out wrong. We’re all hearing a lot about Bernie and despite all of the lame, persecution, all-too-ready-to-hate-on-anyone-who-doesn’t-see-it-exactly-your-way, displaced from reality complexes to the contrary, a lot of that noise (err, coverage) is coming from the mainstream, on TV news media. Enough already. It’s not a real thing so stop fucking whining about it you lame-ass bitches!
Secondly….
No you don’t have fucking constantly post shit about your candidate on facebook. Join us all in reality and admit to yourself for just one moment of clarity that you aren’t changing anyone’s mind or influencing anyone’s vote. You are doing one of two things, preaching to the self-righteous choir or antagonizing your friends who disagree with you. The tone of those posts is never about discussion, it’s not about persuasion, it’s mindless, rah-, rah, you’re either with us or against us patronizing crap. Most political posts on facebook are. So stop lying to yourself about that fucking nonsense. No one has to post about politics. It doesn’t accomplish anything.
As with many, many of my “friends” -on both sides of the aisle- over the last few months, I did not hate. I scorned and unfollowed. Happy now, self-satisfied, delusional, Bernie Bro?
Saying nice things about Hillary Clinton has become a subversive act.
This, this, this.

Sanders’s vote seems to be an outlier in an otherwise softer-on-crime record. But Hillary Clinton’s support was genuinely about being tough on crime.

Revisionary, apologist, nonsense. Either he voted for it or he didn’t.
If she gets a black on her record for supporting it, then he certainly gets one for voting for it. Without the votes in Congress it never would have passed and all of the spin in the world doesn’t change that fact.
Presidential candidate and Senator Bernie Sanders will soon be co-sponsoring the repeal of a law that shields gun manufacturers from lawsuits that involve their guns—the law he voted for in 2005.
For years Sanders had defended the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) on the assertion that weapon providers have no control over how consumers use their products and therefore lack liability. Hillary Clinton has vowed to repeal the law if elected and routinely attacked Sanders’ over his 2005 vote.

The Faculty Senate president at the University of Houston suggests that his colleagues “drop certain topics” from their curricula after a campus-carry law takes effect in Texas.
…”It’s a terrible state of affairs,” Mr. Snow, a professor of isotope geochemistry, said in an interview with The Chronicle. “It’s an invasion of gun culture into campus life. We are worried that we have to change the way we teach to accommodate this minority of potentially dangerous students.”
