Now, I like fictional species as much as the next fantasy/sci-fi reader, but that doesn't mean I try to emulate them in my real life.

Some people, though...

I certainly hope they'll go away after the primaries, and I hope Skinner makes it 100% clear we're going to support the Dem nominee.

is how his supporters just disrespect us and then accuse us of being the bully and then explaining things to us like we're a child. This is what turned me off from Bernie in the first place. This is why he's losing in the polls.

And yes, you are correct, it's transparent, the reason they are losing and I might add the reason they are universally ridiculed.

to my ever-growing Iggy List.

I know that some people don't use Ignore. I didn't myself all that much until Dec 2015 (had four posters on it then and they were all likely trolls who had also been PPRed).

But since then, the list has grown exponentially and on a daily basis. I do not miss ANY single one of them. The sad thing is that there are some there whom I used to respect and admire. No more.

Once we actually have a confirmed Dem nominee, I may give some a second chance. Perhaps ....

A little blatant racism at the top will trickle down to a stinking mess down below. No wonder these folks can't wait to vote for Trump when Bernie finally folds up his tent. They are birds of a feather.

Apparently POC not only have a right to endorse and vote for whomever they please, they are right about who they are endorsing and voting for.

I've seen a particular brand of Democratic bigotry since 2008 election. Some of Hillary's supporters were THE WORST when Obama ran in 08. Bernie has not been so supportive of Obama this time around and because he's failed to garner the support of the Black vote, some of his supporters are showing their brand of bigotry as well. Sad.

the NAACP thrown under the bus, they are pulling Orrin Hatch out from under his white hood.

Yup, Hillary is a liar, based on an interview with Orrin Hatch that Bernie supporters dug up from '08.


How much longer will they deny the under current of racism they exhibit?
