http://www.theonion.com/article/id-you-post-long-aggressive-rants-social-media-say-53070...Bernie Sanders called upon his followers to post long-winded, extremely aggressive rants on social media, according to local supporter Ryan Baileys interpretation of the speech. Id like you to go on Facebook or Twitter and harass as many people as possible with spiteful, protracted tirades, said the Vermont senator in Baileys inference of the speech, which demanded that he and any other voters still committed to political revolution reply to anyone who challenged their opinion with a barrage of sharply worded displays of sanctimony and condescension, as well as any number of personal insults.

(3,366 posts)Now, it appears we have our answer. On Tuesday, an apparent attempt at satirical understatement in actuality proved to be nothing less than a blatant propagandistic fluff piece touting Clintons ostensibly stellar career.

(757 posts)Admitting it was actually kind of a relief to have it over with, the nations voters reported Thursday that with Bernie Sanders no longer possessing a viable path to the nomination, they were glad they got all their feelings of hope in politicians out of their system for the next election cycle or two. Its sort of nice to realize that, after this, I can pretty much just sit back and know that I wont have to feel any genuine excitement about a political figures integrity or their desire to make fundamental change to the status quo until a few elections from now, said registered voter Luke Downing of Oakland, CA, echoing the sentiment of millions across the country who explained that it felt like a load off their mind to let go of their sense of encouragement and to not have to worry about rallying behind a politician they believed actually had their best interests at heart until 2024 or so.
