Pulling this rant out of mothballs to post in the Bernie Group.

I've had enough of the I'm doing fine, my economy has recovered, if yours hasn't it's not my problem.

I've had enough of the lectures at how horrible we are if we express disappointment in politicians and being told that we are haters.

I've had enough of people who think we are stupid enough to think that any single politician or elected official can effect sweeping changes alone. No one here thinks that, it's a fantasy in a few posters minds.

I've had enough of a majority of Democratic voters treated as the enemy because we don't see things the same way as others.

I've had enough of Democrats who disagree with democrats being accused of attacking other Democrats.

I've had enough of people telling people that they don't recognize progressive actions when they occur, even when said actions are in no way progressive and in fact are actually a shit sandwich.

I've had enough of Democrats acting like republicans and being told I should STFU and swallow my anger and get the fuck out there and vote.

I've had more than enough of people who can't look into a mirror and see that they do the same as the one's they are complaining about only in reverse.

I've had enough of being sold out by politicians who seek to pad their own parachute while cutting the cords on ours.

I've had enough of people who say some of us want to kill capitalism, no one here is that stupid, the banks, wall street and corporations who pay no taxes, that's an entirely different matter.

I've had enough of people who like to pretend they are the only people who are smart enough to actually know how things work.

I've had enough of people who hate DU and DUers but won't stay the fuck away from either.

I've had enough of the posters who can't stand another DUer but won't ignore that DUer and attack them over and over in their threads and alert on them instead of being an adult and ignoring that poster.

I've had enough of people telling me I have to vote for what doesn't work, if it worked we wouldn't be in the shape we are today.

I've had enough of being told that We can't have Medicare for All and we can't afford it.

I've had enough and I grow weary of fucking passive aggressive lectures

This coming election is the defining election of our time.

Bernie 2016! Because fuck this shit!

I miss your voice my friend.

Imagine JFK announcing we were gonna put a man on the moon and then everyone chorusing: We can't DO that! Well, we just went ahead and DID IT. Shit - Medicare for all should be a walk in the park compared to putting men AND vehicles on a distant ball of rock!

Because FUCK THIS SHIT!!!

I highly recommend getting out and volunteering/creating events with other Berners because they are the nicest and most positive people and working together with such optimism is good for the soul. Forget the pessimistic pragmatists and hang out with the optimistic idealists. Without dreamers we would not have had any advancement in civilization.

FEEL THE BERN!!!
