We aren't crazy.

Bernie and His Millennials

When I hear Bernie and the simplistic declarations of his own hate, I understand exactly why he is attractive to this group. He demands no intelligent analysis. He demands no convoluted thought. Rather than call on them to do the hard work of change, Bernie tells them to DEMAND it. He offers them repetition – the same lines without variance. We in education know how this works. Repeat the same thing six times, and voila, a connection.

Bernie projects his own victimhood onto these minds, and it dovetails with their disgruntlement, their demand for reparations, their need for entitled status. When he says the process is corrupt, they cheer. Of course, it is corrupt, they think, recalling the professor who flunked them for plagiarism; the employer who fired them for insubordination; the mother who kicked them out of the house; the girlfriend who left them, the bully who punched them in second grade.

Bernie doesn’t ask that they discriminate. No, he promotes hatred as a mantra and a Demand as the answer. So it is no surprise that the Bernies threw a fit in Nevada. The “corrupt system” is the Democratic party itself. And again, they are the victims. Their demands were met with failure. So they screamed vulgarities, jumped up and down, swung chairs in the air, stampeded the dais. Now “Nazi” is replaced with “cunt.” Now disturbing a classroom elevates into death threats.

Please read the entire article including the comments. It is all too familiar.

3. Sad

This is a very sad and pathetic post. We are far smarter than you give us credit for. This is my first time responding to this garbage so I will just leave it at this. Sad and pathetic. I would suggest warming up to truth. It is good for the soul.

4. No. It's effing lazy. And it's why Sanders has never accomplished

Anything significant in his career. Sitting on asses and demanding rather than doing the heavy lifting needed to create change is not only lazy but a lot like a 2 year old demanding. Change never happens with one election. Where was Bernie in 2010 when the GOP won the redistricting election? He's no leader.


You want TRUTH? You've got the truth Bernie won't give you.

13. OMG!

Brava/ Bravo.

You just nailed it! Thanks Gman.

[Gman]

14. I wish Hillary would start hitting Sanders hard with this

I wish she did it 3 months ago.

[DURHAM D]

17. When posters were suggesting that Hillary put BS in

her cabinet I had to laugh. She is a policy wonk and expects everyone who works with/for her to know their stuff and work as hard as she does. BS is lazy and not that smart so the only job he could qualify for if working for her would be doorman... and I am not sure about. grooming and all

31. I'm embarrassed that at the beginng of the race I thought a Clinton/Sanders ticket

was a good idea. The more I found out about him, the more he spoke: NO WAY. Huge gaps in knowledge. I think he likes to talk more than listen. I had no idea he was so anti-intellectual. Now this "lesser of two evils" comment ... And yet it's Clinton that can't say anything without it being twisted and Biden who was supposedly a walking gaffe machine.

5. Hey Oixi.

This is my first time responding to this garbage so I will just leave it at this...You are in The Hillary Group. We are a protected group just like the Bernie Group.

You are now blocked. Rules~

[DURHAM D]

8. Thanks.

I love the Rules.

[sheshe2]

9. ;)

Rules are rules.

Thanks Durham.

[NastyRiffraff]

16. Thanks sheshe

They hate rules.

[Orrex]

35. Careful--they'll file suit in California to make you change the rules that they agreed to

[Maru Kitteh]

39. Thanks sheshe!

[Surya Gayatri]

6. Your opinion, worth no more than the opinion of the blog writer who

deals with "millenials" on a daily basis.

One opinion goes up against another. They cancel each other out.

Some might say that your post is apologetic and dismissive of bullying aggression and threatening behavior.

[sheshe2]

10. Your sig~

Saw it elsewhere today.

Lol~

[Surya Gayatri]

12. It made me chuckle so much, I just had to use it! LOL!

Can't remember where I saw it.

Ah, Nevada revisited!

[NastyRiffraff]

15. You are in the Hillary Clinton group

Your opinions are not welcome here. You have the GD-P to yourselves as it is.

[RBInMaine]

19. Stop trolling this group. Go troll elsewhere.

[Cha]

22. actually it's a dead on OP.. the "sad" part is BS' disingenuous victimhood & hate

has propagated to so many who don't see it for what it is.

[sheshe2]

11. K&R!

[NastyRiffraff]

18. This is spot on!

And well worth the read.

[William769]

20. kick & recommended.

[Hekate]

21. Yikes. That is blistering.

[Cha]

25. Thank you for this, Durham! Excellent analysis of what sanders is doing.. I

especially agree with the very last sentence.

[shenmue]

26. Excellent

[eastwestdem]

28. Yes! Exactly!! nt

[ProudProgressiveNow]

29. K&R nt

[SunSeeker]

30. Very insightful piece!

The whole "demand" attitude really nails it.

That is definitely their mantra: Forget working hard and compromising to get things done...just demand it!

[betsuni]

32. Bernie & The Anti-intellectuals.

Thanks for the article.

[liberal N proud]

33. Bernie and the Berners love to play the victim

[livetohike]

34. This is perfect. I think the Sanders camp should roll out their new mantra:

"We are all victims now" thanks for posting this.

[DemonGoddess]

37. K&R!

You know, Bernie and his cultish followers remind me of nothing more than 2 and 3 year olds throwing tantrums to get their way. When my kids were that young, and pulled that garbage I didn't give in to them. You know what worked best? Ignoring them. A time or two, to show my oldest daughter how silly she was being (she wanted a toy I couldn't afford, was one instance) I got on the floor WITH her and started kicking my feet, screaming and crying. She stopped, looked at me, and completely quieted down. Mind you, my oldest was laughing because it was so SILLY, mom doing what his sister was doing.

[SharonClark]

38. Seems right about Sanders, especially his bitch teacher comment

but lumping an entire generation together is silly. Too many people think 20-somethings are all Sanders supporters when many will not vote (like the rest of the population) and some will vote Clinton and some will vote Trump.
