Since the OP disses both Bernie and Hillary, the circular firing squad has taken on a whole new meaning.

And some times an elected Senator has to bring home the bacon. MohRokTah Jun 2015 #1

Thanks for your "advice", but when I need it, I certainly won't turn to a Bernie supporter. Tarheel_Dem Jun 2015 #75

I don't like bernie's support for the F-35 cali Jun 2015 #5
So anything that doesn't align with your view of Bernie is a lie? LordGlenconner Jun 2015 #11

What does it say that this is rec'd exclusively by HRC supporters? whatchamacallit Jun 2015 #14
Or it may have something to do with asking for some damned honesty once in a while. NuclearDem Jun 2015 #32
The author of the article was worried about Sanders' supporting Hillary. merrily Jun 2015 #56
I think that if people are mad at Bernie for supporting Israel, fine Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #86

Really? merrily Jun 2015 #55
It's pretty fucking funny. Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #51
I find this interesting. Especially this comment: Raine1967 Jun 2015 #15
The whole thing is an interesting read. I had no idea that socialists had issues with Bernie Number23 Jun 2015 #25
I'm guessing those socialists would have issues with everyone. FSogol Jun 2015 #30
Yep. The same thing many folks have been saying about alot of Obama's "left" detractors for a while Number23 Jun 2015 #38
for some people, no one is pure enough, it seems. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #41
That's why I call him a mainstream Democrat. Democratic Socialism is an established wing of the DNC. freshwest Jun 2015 #43
Awesome post, fw Number23 Jun 2015 #48
Thank you very much! freshwest Jun 2015 #49
+1, Well said. n/t FSogol Jun 2015 #68
You'd think a Socialist would know that a Democratic Socialist is not a socialist. merrily Jun 2015 #57

You're right. You guys aren't thin skinned as all hell at all. Number23 Jun 2015 #84
Post 31 is a good example. And the other five or so posts in this thread, which you apparently are Number23 Jun 2015 #37

Oh yeah.. Sanders is a real "hawk"! But, according to this person's opinion.. from your link,vt Cha Jun 2015 #39
I would like for him to officially say he is. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #42

This author doesn't support the Democratic Party in general. Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #53
Not take the OP seriously? Hillary supporters have applauded him or her. merrily Jun 2015 #59
Like I said upthread Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #61
Sadly, they were just too upset that Bernie was not socialist enough to read it all. merrily Jun 2015 #64
Well, they do think that something that's a gotcha for Sanders BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #63
Look who else is "very vewy concerned" ..... bettyellen Jun 2015 #94
A literal interpretation of writing is pretty much always the wrong one BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #95
I'm sowwy! Was your OP about faux "concerns" deemed identic posts to be? bettyellen Jun 2015 #96
It was a way to have a genuine talk about real issues BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #97
Except you have this delusion that outside your group everyone is a troll- so it's okay to lie and bettyellen Jun 2015 #99
Why do you hate me bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #100
I don't. But the bizarre accusations of many good long term DUers being operatives are ridiculous bettyellen Jun 2015 #102
You mad bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #104
You trolling us here in GD- where people actually share your concerns? bettyellen Jun 2015 #105

"He marched on Selma, what else do they want!?" bettyellen Jun 2015 #109
That's fucked up bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #110
It is super fucked up, and sad to see at DU, "Brother Ivan" bettyellen Jun 2015 #111
Are you sad bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #112
Could you be more or a condescending jerk, Ivan? bettyellen Jun 2015 #113
Did you alert bettyellen? BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #114
Well, someone did ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2015 #115
It certainly wasn't me BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #116
That alert fail was the cherry on top of an absolutely AWESOME subthread sundae Number23 Jun 2015 #117
Thank you! Haven't seen the "repeat with petulance" routine since I last babysat bettyellen Jun 2015 #123
gosh did I ever see that coming, lol. bettyellen Jun 2015 #119
Yes. Worried that Bernie is a Democratic Socialist and worried that he is not socialist enough. merrily Jun 2015 #118
The only one that works right now is "he's unelectable" BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #120
Whether it's Hillary or Sanders or Jeb or anyone else , it's too way early to take polls to heart. merrily Jun 2015 #121
Agreed BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #122
Do we really want to get into who is more of a Hawk? Kalidurga Jun 2015 #60
Find me a candidate that agrees with me 100% on my all of my issues magical thyme Jun 2015 #67
Bernie has his skeletons in the closet...this issue is just one... Sancho Jun 2015 #69
If he has skeletons they will come out LordGlenconner Jun 2015 #72
What's most frustrating is a failure to do what Bernie says to do.... Sancho Jun 2015 #74
You think attack ads are going to be run vs. Bernie for being insufficiently committed to Marxism? Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #85
Attack ads against Bernie won't be necessary... Sancho Jun 2015 #87
Ah, I see. So you didn't, actually, read the article despite claiming it illustrates his Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #88
"The Democratic voters have NOT come out for recent elections.".....You're in Florida, huh? Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #89
I believe it was President Obama who pointed out the number of voters in the last election... Sancho Jun 2015 #90
And if there's a problem with turnout, wouldn't the smart analyst want to look to where turnout Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #91
Haha..pot has nothing to do with turnout here... Sancho Jun 2015 #92
