Yes. Marxism has always been a thorn in the side of the Democratic Party.

Finally, a con man with enough rhetoric skills has managed to persuade a substantial portion of the Party that the people representing them are corrupt and incompetent and to take up the banner of world socialism.

And like most liberal / socialist political struggles throughout time, the winners are the conservative right, and the losers are the American people.
He was right about democrats being corrupt and incompetent... Hillary of course being the prime example.
Donald Trump is Barack Obama's President!

Yes, how dare Sanders challenge the Democratic Party Collective.
He had the opportunity to challenge, and he lost.

Welp, time to toss Merkley out of office. Unfortunate really, he was promising.

Yes, burn the heretic. Burn him, says Bernie! He hath spoken an un-Sanders word!

Bernie be praised! All hail Bernie, the great and holy one! All the dissidents must be cleansed!

Bernie hath spoken!

See, sarcasm only works if you understand what you're talking about and working with valid material.

No one said anything about Sanders being the driving force. Yes, I'll happily admit there is, to an extent, a fanboy/fangirl approach to some Sanders supporters. You get that with any politician; it just happens. What I was referencing however, is not sanders. It's the ideas and concepts behind what Sanders has strived for. It's the idea of a positive political system, not a corporate funded, or corrupt one. And those are just a few things that come to mind. *That* battle, that fight against what is an unjust, unrepresentative system, one corrupt and rife with all sorts of nonsense...that is what I was talking about. Sanders may fade or hell, die tomorrow, but the idea behind what was started still exist, and that's what is most important.

So no, no Sanders fandom. That's just you and others shortsightedness and dare I say, Clinton centric view points dictating your response. :cheers:

Butthurt? Nope. Bitter? I doubt you could get more bitter than I am. I'm a cynic who has pretty much beaten to a pulp his inner idealist due to the bulls**t going on in the world today. If you can remain optimistic and positive after seeing rigid dogma, theocratic racism, cruelty, etc. in the world, then I applaud you sir. I'm not like that though. :cheers:

And yet, based on a single instance in which Merkley does nothing more than accept the reality of an electoral outcome, you'll toss him to the wolves. He backed your candidate and backed your ideas.

But when that candidate lost, he accepted the people's decision. For that, he is forever exiled in your book.

This is the problem with Sandersism and it has nothing to do with whether it is centered on Sanders or not. Could be centered on a person, a cause, a religion, a sports team. Doesn't matter. The problem with Sandersism is the problem with all extreme ideologies. Extreme ideologies never accept the slightest deviation. Step out of line - even by one toe - and you suffer the fate of Merkley. You are now a heretic. There is no room for dissent - or even for the simple act of accepting the reality of election results.

There is only the pure faith. All else is heresy.

Jobs of Sanders donors?

If they're not working, thus there isn't enough 'through away' income that they can donate while still being able to survive with the basics....then how are they donating.*slow clap* Well done there, try again?

Welfare, via taxpayers.

Woah there kiddo. See, there you go again with your high and mighty proselytizing. You're not a saint there mate; in fact, you and your recent 'cause celebre' smell just as bad as a hundred 'honey buckets' as any other person or persons cause. So hold your horses there, eh?

I mean really, 2am. Do you ever bother to stop and actually consider the reasons behind a persons views, or do you just hop up on your high horse and yell "High and mighty blowhard, away!" Then proceed to talk down to the person, assuming that they're some easily categorized and boxed groupie? 'Cause you do it, often. Heh, you're a decent guy I'm sure, but come on. Relax. :cheers:

Anyways.

What you attribute to a wild eyed fanaticism is the fact the guy is the junior senator from MY state. I've worked on his campaign and for him in other areas. We have mutual friends and acquaintances; heck, I know the guy and his family even. So no, despite your eager desire to frolic amongst delusions of 'gotchas', it isn't due to 'Sanderism'; in fact, it's been a long time coming. I've honestly felt that he needed to go since probably a year or so ago. He campaigned a certain way, and well, he just hasn't followed through. I feel it's time to move on.

But, don't mind me. I'm sure you'll find something else to nitpick and twist to suit your agenda. Most on here react in such manners, so I'll try to act surprised.

Of course you'd say that. You're some 30 year old guy living in your mothers basement dreaming of when she will actually let you out to date.


....see how silly that sounds? Your ignorant, idiotic assumption is similar. Don't assume. Think s**t through.

Do yourself a favor and stop lying to yourself.
Advice from ersonal experience? I'm sorry. I'm sure she'll let you out eventually.
