Do a site search, see for yourself.

But here's the deal.

Bernie's supporters support him
because he support them...
the way Government is supposed to work!

Hillary's supporters tend to the *bandwagon*
mode of candidate support.
They don't like Bernie because of his supporters,
yet they love Hillary because they want to
be on her team. The *Fanwagon™* effect.

See how this works?
Bernie folks want responsible government.
Hillary folks want to be on the *winning* team.

No I have never been to the AA forum. Please answer the question honestly. Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #39

That commenter got a hide and so can't respond in this thread jfern Nov 2015 #61

I wished it had not been hidden. I do think if we make such serious charges... Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #65

It was pretty blatant allegation of racism imo B&C riderinthestorm Nov 2015 #71

Broadbrushing all supporters of Sanders as racists should be hidden. JMO. merrily Nov 2015 #102

Not me, I was raised by an opinionated black woman who worked for my moms aunt. LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #93

Is it possible to dislike an AA individual without it being racist? Do you like Ben Carson? Romulox Nov 2015 #47

Gladly. She admits it herself riderinthestorm Nov 2015 #59

LOL! Like you prove your allegations? merrily Nov 2015 #103

If you don't want anyone to know who you are you probably shouldn't post your name and seaglass Nov 2015 #73

What a shitty thing to do after seeing her comments. demmiblue Nov 2015 #74

Accusing someone of stalking when info is readily available is pretty shitty. She can easily seaglass Nov 2015 #75

That's about where I am too. procon Nov 2015 #24

No I was undecided until rbrnmw Nov 2015 #13

because of DU? That is the key part of the question. Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #31

No because of how she handled herself rbrnmw Nov 2015 #34

Fair enough. Then she won you as a voter. That is awesome. Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #43

So you didn't like Bernie's witch trial? Bernin4U Nov 2015 #157

Nope. I am aligned with principles more than party - NRaleighLiberal Nov 2015 #14

No but it's helped me think about my choices to compare Armstead Nov 2015 #16

Several of DU's most conservative posters *claim* to have switched from Bernie to Hillary. Romulox Nov 2015 #44

I know right? It's laughable. JimDandy Nov 2015 #62

Still some out there faux-ing support for Bernie. Some on this very thread, in fact. merrily Nov 2015 #84

I've switched to Hillary several times now MannyGoldstein Nov 2015 #45

Thank YOU randys1 Nov 2015 #50

You still need a sarcasm emote for a MannyGoldstein post? merrily Nov 2015 #81

Have you no mercy? Have you no pity? merrily Nov 2015 #114

In my defense, Poe's Law is to the Internet as MannyGoldstein Nov 2015 #117

Exactly my point: Poe's Law is why deus sine machina made emoticons. merrily Nov 2015 #120

So emoticons are exempt from Poe's Law? MannyGoldstein Nov 2015 #121

I suppose even emoticons can be used as tools of various kinds. merrily Nov 2015 #124

That... that was *sarcasm*? MannyGoldstein Nov 2015 #131

o.k. nt merrily Nov 2015 #132

P.S. FWIW, I don't think you suck. I suspect no supporter of Sanders does. merrily Nov 2015 #122

Oh? Have we met IRL? MannyGoldstein Nov 2015 #126

You claimed we had. merrily Nov 2015 #130

The contrast between Bernie and Hillary is so profound, it wouldn't make sense to switch. Maedhros Nov 2015 #56

That's the bottom line. All that's left for both groups on DU is to JimDandy Nov 2015 #66

I supported Sanders until I discovered his record on Bradey Bill Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #57

I have it on great authority that Bernie totally supports Bradley and likes his mother too. nt Live and Learn Nov 2015 #90

It is his voting record that matters, not who he likes. nt Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #96

It doesn't appear as if you ever really looked in to the record. nt Live and Learn Nov 2015 #99

Don't be fool be appearances. nt. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #100

Why don't you post something you found about Bradley? nt Live and Learn Nov 2015 #108

Oh, look, it's the Bradley Bunch Art_from_Ark Nov 2015 #150

My mistake, the Bradey bill. STill, he voted against it. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #156

It is actually Brady and that is how I know you never actually researched it. Live and Learn Nov 2015 #169

What's wrong with gun mfrs? Bernin4U Nov 2015 #159

Immunizing them from lawsuits is the problem. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #160

So you agree with Sanders providing a special privaledge of Corporate Welfare to Gun Manufacturers. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #165
