So has Bernie, so has EVERY candidate. Look....we get it, you're a Bernie fan. But you are like the "annoying online Bernie Bros" in that you can't stop dissing every candidate that isn't Bernie and can't shut up about your Bernie-luv. Hell, you are STILL dissing Hillary who is NOT involved in this race. But let me be perfectly clear....you are not a Democrat, you've said that yourself. Perhaps you should cut back on your Bernie-fanaticism, just a tad, so you don't suck all the air out of the room for us actual Democrats who have actually voted for Democratic candidates in the general election. For me, in the general Election that's Dukakis, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Obama, Clinton. You want to know primaries? That would be , Paul Simon, Paul Tsongas, Clinton, Gore, Dean (wanted his delegates to influence the platform), Obama, Obama, Sanders.
If you can't handle a bit of mild scrutiny and criticism of candidates now, you have no hope in the general.
Don't bother, Crono. You might as well be talking to an aggressive wall.
Why is it ridiculous? Free college is a form of self-defense. Educated workers need to be available to attract/create jobs in the modern economy.
Maybe ridiculous is too strong a word, but I think it is much more important to fix K-12 which is very broken. Start by eliminating laws requiring teachers to spend all their time prepping students for tests and let them actually teach.
We need both, really.
This has me very confused and not even Google knew the answer.
You see things just as disses. They're not "disses" for the sake of dissing. These are facts that should enter into the calculation of our assessment of these candidates. Despite whatever misgivings I have about most of these candidates, I would still vote for most of them if they end up becoming the nominee because they are still better than Trump, but I am not going in blind. I have a fairly informed view of who they are and what they are inclined to do, and with that in mind I will know where I will have to work on advocacy with them and with my own representatives.
Did someone stop someone from posting a thread about any other candidate's mean supporters?
We don't go out there complaining about the people who say vile things about Nina Turner or Briahna Joy Gray to delegitimize voters. The abuse they take is invisible in the narrative. We know it exists but we're not using it as a reason to not vote for a candidate. There are plenty of reasons without attacking voters to not vote for any of these people.
The media isn't spinning a mean supporter myth about other candidates. So a thread would look kind of pathetic with just a few whiny anecdotes and no "news" to give it the illusion of bigger concern.
Thanks for all of the responses. The only one, however, which answered my question was Aeon's and he/she could have stopped typing after the "Nope".
