Why do Bernie supporter like to use such impolite and ugly language?

[hill2016]

It seems that they are generally angrier and more strident.

I was brought up to use only civil language in discourse.

[Joe the Revelator]

1. They used bad words

[TheBlackAdder]

45. A dumb OP--I'll play. "Perhaps they didn't feel like beating the shit out of a black protester!"

.


You know who does that? Campaigns that have people who feel they are entitled!


The more one feels like they can do no wrong, the more they feel they can get away with beating people up!


.

[Warren Stupidity]

2. I'm shocked by 153 million dollars.

Not by the phrase corporate whore.

[riderinthestorm]

3. No fucking idea. Sorry you're still such a sheltered creature you've never encountered "vulgarity"

Really.

Sorry for you.

The rest of us live in the real world.

[Eko]

9. Somehow I missed the part

where they said they have never encountered vulgarity. You post was nothing more than an attempt to demean them, probably because you felt demeaned in some way. Real world indeed.

[riderinthestorm]

12. "I was brought up to only use civil discourse", followed by a harangue?

Yeah.

[Eko]

13. Them only using civil discourse

in no way affects what they have and haven't heard.

[riderinthestorm]

18. Their shock and horror at the phrase "corporate whore" belies your defense nt

[Eko]

20. Not at all.

Some of us don't think that kind of stuff belongs in intra-party politics.

[riderinthestorm]

23. Politics is a contact sport. Grow a thicker skin or get out imo nt

[Eko]

24. Contact sport?

I dont think you actually know what a contact sport is.

[Eko]

28. Maybe this will help.

These guys plays a contact sport

These guys do not.

[Eko]

30. Awwwww,

you ran away to post elsewhere. Did you get your feelings hurt? Impressive display of thick skin.

[rock]

111. Who thinks it's a contact sport?

GOPers, Fascists, BPers. (I.e those that don't believe in Democracy.)

[SoLeftIAmRight]

59. try science

it is what smart people do

[Eko]

21. I also must have missed

Their "shock and horror". You seem to put words in peoples mouth with every sentence.

[monmouth4]

4. So we can piss you off is the best excuse I have..n/t

[LuvLoogie]

41. ... and still lose. You forgot to add "and still lose."

[longship]

82. Well there's the entitlement part.

Fuck entitlement. It's not anybody's turn.

There ya go.

[RazBerryBeret]

5. cool

way to paint us all with a broad brush.... says a lot about you.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Why do Hillary supporters drink the blood of puppies for breakfast?

See how that works?

[Silver_Witch]

52. Because I think they take an oath

On the dark lords alter and have too. At least that is what I heard. Not saying it is true but you know where there is smoke there is fire!

[grasswire]

7. We have no wish to be "elegant" like Hillary is.

Elegant = snooty.

That holds no appeal at all for working people.

[uponit7771]

10. lol... podium bird tell you that most of Sanders money comes from the 50k earners?

...sigh

[uponit7771]

8. This is the way people act when they lose power and affluence to the "others", they're officially...

... at the heigth of the temper tantrum and will have to calm down and figure out sharing power, money and affluence with people other than the racial, gender and money influence in the DNC isn't such a bad thing.

[realmirage]

11. The responses show what's wrong with the movement

And why Bernie has 2.4 million fewer votes

[DemocracyDirect]

103. And because you don't include caucus votes...

... because they are vulgar.

[QC]

14. They're so vulgar!

[earthside]

15. Why do Hillary supporters like to call their opponents names?

Sexist!

Misogynist!

Bigot!

Hater!

I see that all the time here ... women, men ... it doesn't matter.

In the end, if you oppose 'The Inevitable One' you must be a sexist.

[beam me up scottie]

16. Oh my stars, somebody get the fainting couch!

?w=610

[fleur-de-lisa]

95. LOL!

That is a fabulous photo! Thanks, I needed a laugh this morning.

[Bonobo]

17. "Strident". Well if we used THAT word, we would be called "sexist". See the problem here?

See the ridiculousness?

[Armstead]

19. I can't wait for the General Election when all manner of bad language will be used against GOP

by the same people who now claim to be delicate flowers in the primary

[noretreatnosurrender]

22. Conservatives Don't Like Swear Words

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) scoured the accounts of followers of both main political parties in the United States to discover the major effect political inclinations have on language employed on the micro-blogging site.

Liberals, or more left-leaning supporters of Obama's 'Democrats', were markedly more likely to swear - both 'fuck' and 'shit' found in their top ten most used words, after the commonest English expressions were removed.

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/09/15/twitter-research-language-patterns_n_8140730.html

Left-wingers are more likely to use swear words than their right-leaning counterparts, a study of thousands of Twitter accounts has suggested.

While conservative-leaning individuals are, perhaps unsuprisingly, more likely to use religious terms such as "God" and "psalm", those on the liberal end of the political spectrum are heavy users of "f***" and "s***" online.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/11871015/Left-wingers-swear-more-Twitter-study-claims.html

We can certainly tell which way you lean, eh?

[pinebox]

25. Because we're more intelligent

http://thechive.com/2015/12/17/turns-out-swearing-a-lot-is-a-sign-of-fking-intelligence-5-photos/

[retrowire]

105. lmao i fucking love it nt

[hrmjustin]

26. To be fair I am pretty good at using vulgarity.

I'm from Brooklyn.

[Electric Monk]

27. You've got more than 40 hrs per week to disparage those who make min wage or less

and you expect me to be civil too?

I'll just drop the mic right here. You know what I'm say'n.

[jmg257]

29. Sometimes civil language just doesn't get your point across. If YOU are not angry about

"corporate whores" in politics, maybe you should be.

[NurseJackie]

61. Excuses, excuses.

One's inability to communicate effectively and maturely shouldn't be used as an excuse to cover-up those shortcomings by substituting offensive language, or by resorting to insults and attacks.

[jmg257]

62. Sure got everyone's attention didn't it? I think it got his point across quite effectively.

And in one sound bite too.

[NurseJackie]

64. HA! That's no accomplishment ...

... anyone can do that.

The skillful part is using adult-like communication for the purpose of persuasion and changing hearts and minds and viewpoints ... bringing sides together ... and finding common ground and ways to work together with effective governing.

It was all very Susan Sarandon-ish.

[jmg257]

68. All depends on what his goal was, doesn't it?

Just like Susan's. You are assuming they were/are trying to win hearts and minds.

But they aren't running. And we are all yapping about how Hillary was easily inferred to be a corporate whore (and worse than Trump)..will be for days.

Speculation on my part, but It worked.

[NurseJackie]

69. Setting one's goals low and meeting them is no accomplishment.

Nice try though.

[jmg257]

72. And don't forget the 48,000 cheering him on. nt

[NurseJackie]

74. Oh, it's up to 48,000 now? NYPD puts the attendance at 11,000 not 27,000 (or 48,000)

[jmg257]

85. Cool thanks for the update! Nt

[NurseJackie]

90. You're welcome.

[angrychair]

109. Link please

Quoting numbers that are dramatically different than those in the public domain require genuine proof.

New York Daily News stated crowd in park and outside it, listening, was 30,000. According to several accounts park, at capacity can comfortably hold 11,000 to 17,000 but could hold 20,000.
Given the Sanders campaign estimated 27,000 total, I would guess the actual to be 25,000 to 32,000 based on first hand accounts and media accounts.

See, this is link to a reputable source:

[Tarc]

31. It is due to the safety of sitting behind a computer screen

[ChisolmTrailDem]

32. I was brought up to fiercly defend what I believe in. You have a problem with...

...how my parents raised me versus how you were raised?

[Ed Suspicious]

33. We're boorish and uncivilized.

[pantsonfire]

34. Fuck if I know. n/t

[Peregrine Took]

35. You were???? Gee, I was taught to curse and swear at every opportunity!

I guess I'm just funny that way!!

[beam me up scottie]

36. I find right wing talking points and values to be much more offensive than mere words.

I was taught that feigning offense to try to gain an advantage was cheating.

In other words I was raised to be honest above all else, words aren't offensive but dishonesty is.

[LostOne4Ever]

37. Cause we are Adults and can say whatever we want

[Lil Missy]

38. They tend to be young and immature. n/t

[Autumn]

49. Or older and really pissed off. n/t

[Duppers]

60. Or are really old and really, really pissed off.

Copycatting here. Thanks Autumn.

Bet most Bernie supporters here are near 50 or older.

[MillennialDem]

89. At least we're not old and stuck up? - see how those not so subtle digs feel?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

92. What a fucking shitty and completely WRONG thing to say! nt

[Logical]

39. Yet, you don't. Nt

[Kalidurga]

40. Fuck if I know. Maybe some of us are tired of this shit.

Why do Hillarians cozy up to Corporate Whores?

[Yurovsky]

71. They are one and the same...

it's just the corporate wing of the Democratic Party. Sure, they may be pro-choice, or in favor of LGBT equality, but when it comes to economic justice, they offer pretty thin gruel.

They've got theirs. Everyone else can piss off.

[2pooped2pop]

42. look who we are dealing with.

words happen. I think you can handle it if you try.

[Chan790]

43. Civility is for those unwilling to face their oppressors...

and quislings.

I'm strident and angry because being polite and calm has not worked.

[NurseJackie]

65. Then you're not doing it right.

[Chan790]

70. Civility has never won anything.

It's the mark of the compliant to their own demises.

I wouldn't expect a supporter of Weathervane Clinton to get that though. How like cows you all are, mindlessly following where the herd is led...even to the slaughter pen.

[NurseJackie]

75. I encourage you to go with that.

[tonedevil]

110. As if you...

have a passing acquaintance with civility or truth. You do know how to embed moving GIFs so you got that going good for you.

[EffieBlack]

91. Actually, boorishness and hostility are copouts of the weak- civility is a sign of TRUE strength

As evidenced by the likes of Martin Luther King - who, according to your standard, was a compliant cow.

[COLGATE4]

44. Probably because the smarter of the bunch realize that time is

running out and the day of reckoning is less than a week away. After Bernie loses NY many of the fan club will put their best face on and soldier on, hoping against hope for the miracle that isn't going to happen (and sending in their $27) but the smarter ones realize that it's all over and that they bet on the wrong horse. So now you're seeing the anger and frustration that comes from that, exemplified by anger and offensive language. It's all they have left.

[hill2016]

48. I see

thanks!

[berniepdx420]

51. hillary has lost 20 points in less than a month... she only has a 5 point

swing between her and another total collapse ... The debate should be fun huh... hope angry hillary shows up..

[COLGATE4]

83. Don't hold your breath. Regardless of the point spread,

after April 19 Bernie's 'path to the nomination' disappears.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

56. Doing the right thing needn't come to an end if Sanders isn't nominated.

We can still work to stop lying and corrupt politicians.

[jillan]

46. Why do Hillary supporters call Bernie supporters Nazis?

Beyond Disgusting!

[Fawke Em]

58. Researched this fuck.

He makes his money running a website that either takes a cut and/or gets advertising from people giving money to people in need.

He's a squid.

[Waiting For Everyman]

47. Why are Hillary supporters ok with lies and corruption?

I'd rather be ok with the strident language. Maybe that's what it takes to wake some people up.

[beedle]

50. Honesty is much simpler and more direct

I'm sure those establishment big wigs in their fancy high rise towers have far more eloquent ways to tell a lie than Eskimos have words to describe snow, but they still are liars no matter how polite, fancy and inoffensive their words.

[pacalo]

53. Accuracy isn't your forte ...

You're into drama.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

54. Because we're fuckheads. Is that what you want to hear? I'll wear it, don't care.

I no longer give a single fuck about trying to get along with a bunch of vicious liars. Next.

[AgingAmerican]

55. Why are Hillary supporters scared to discuss the issues?

[Betty Karlson]

63. Yes, they are angry about the status quo. How loud do they have to speak up

before you entitled and overprivileged people start listening?

O dear, was that bad language too? Quick, let's fetch you some pearls so you may clutch them!

[Warren DeMontague]

66. probably because there's only one of him

bernie supporter is very lonely, bernie supporter swear much.

[JoePhilly]

67. They are allowed because they are morallly superior to the rest of us.

Just ask them.

[betsuni]

79. This whole morally superior thing is really asking for trouble, will not end well.

Dumb move.

[JoePhilly]

81. They end up attacking and pushing away ...

... the same people Bernie would need to attract to have any shot at winning the nomination.

[Vinca]

73. As if I haven't heard red baiting, anti-Semitism and ageism from the other side.

Especially red baiting. You'd think Bernie was the love child of a Lenin and a Castro.

[baldguy]

76. Because the RW is writing their talking points.

All anti-Clinton, all the time.

They only put on the cloak of "progressiveism" like a bad costume to fool to hoi polloi - who, unfortunately seem to be eager to be fooled.

[SamKnause]

77. I like to fucking curse.

Fuck is my favorite curse word.

I hope that answers your question.

P.S. My niece likes to curse as well.

Her favorite curse word is Fuck.

[B Calm]

78. PC

[Freddie Stubbs]

80. Perhaps for the same reason that Trump and his supporters do

[sofa king]

84. All sides are getting ugly, now.

You might wish to take the time machine back to DU on this date in 2008, to see that things were ugly then as well. The primaries are particularly tough on we Democrats because most of us make carefully considered choices about whom we will support, and many of us are not happy to see others going a different way.

Nor will I argue that the level of discourse is falling in America. It's always been this awful. Andrew Jackson's wife was savaged to completely that it killed her within 8 weeks of the election of 1828. We have always been scum.

[asuhornets]

86. +1,000,000 n/t

[alarimer]

87. Pot calling the kettle, etc.

I've heard much worse from Hillary supporters.

PS- While I wouldn't use the term "whore" (it's pretty loaded), I think the sentiment that Hillary is a corportists IS true.

In fact the Democratic party is full of them. Useless corporate tools who will do NOTHING to help working people, because it is all about Wall Street.

[MillennialDem]

88. 1. We're pissed off and 2. We're generally young and like to swear in general. Video game culture

encourages this too.

[hill2016]

93. this is really not polite though

and belittles the nomination process

[shanine]

94. Skinner?

I think of Skinner every time I read hill2016's posts - and not in a bad way -
I would think it would be difficult to refrain (almost) completely from posting at this time

[Orsino]

96. Another goddamned "supporters" thread. n/t

[TSIAS]

97. Strong language doesn't offend me

I'm sure plenty of Clinton supporters have used salty language a time or two in their lives.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

98. Fuck if I know.

[basselope]

99. You tend to get that way when you see a bleak future.

[SHRED]

100. We all broad brush at times

That's how I'm viewing your post.

[SHRED]

101. Better to have a dirty mouth...

...rather than a dirty candidate.

[apcalc]

102. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24173194

[polichick]

104. We believe in speaking truth to power - calling out the fucking scumbags who have sold the country.

[artislife]

106. We is "We came, we saw and he died" not considered ugly?

[Scootaloo]

107. And you lift your pinkie when sipping tea, no doubt.

Let's all pause to admire, then get on with our lives.

[Vinca]

108. We picked it up from Hillary supporters.
