For those of you who are willing to vote against your selfish self interests, I feel sorry for you

For those dumb enough to vote against your selfish self interest, I feel sorry for you.

I really do. I feel sorry for you because you are willing to put passion, and in this case misplaced anger, ahead of common sense. I feel sorry for anyone who is that irrational.

Four Sanders staffers knowingly copied data which they knew they should have never accessed, whether the firewall is down or not, and then stowed that data for future use. And don't tell me it it wasn't wrong - had Republicans done the same thing we would all crying foul as loud as possible. Bernie doesn't need that kind of help from his staff I can assure you. He is too good a man - and he doesn't need this kind of scandal.

Then Bernie's staff gets into a public fight with the DNC - none of us need that kind of publicity. The Republicans are laughing and eating popcorn for heavens sakes. And then what do Sander's supporter do? They blame the whole thing on Hillary Clinton. You have to wonder how rational some folks are.

But here is the bottom line folks - if you can't calm down sooner or later and support the eventual Democratic nominee - whoever that may be - just go, and go now! And don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out! You are a much smaller percentage of the electorate than you believe. Maybe you can post of the Green Party Underground, because you won't be welcome here.
