21. I ain't castigating no one.

I just hate all this fucking primary vitriol. Makes us all look FUCKING STUPID.

FYI -- I posted a few months back that Bernie backers who vilified Hillary were making me want to vote for Hillary, and oh boy did the nasty mean-mouths come out. I learned right away that some people have put all of their mental illness behind Bernie's candidacy, and that they love him more than anyone, especially you, and that you can't like Bernie without hating Hillary.

So I took some flame there, and now I don't bother.

So, yeah, you're right. I shouldn't bother. The condescending asinine elementary-school snark dripping from every bitter partisan is just going to happen, and I should STAY OUT OF THE WAY.

Point taken. And if this enraged infighting elects Trump then that's just how stupid we all are, as a population, and that's how this whole story will end, and that's just that. Pathetic calls for civility are useless, because once one Bernie or Hillary backer dives into the swamp, everyone else points to them as their reason for diving into the swamp. And if that first swamp-diver just happens to be a Rove Ratfucker, it matters not. He or she was just throwing some gasoline on the pilot light. Jagshemash! Great Rovian Ratfuck Success!

No one's going to listen to calls for civility at this point. Maybe not ever. Maybe civility is stupid. Funny thing, though, Bernie and Hillary are still good friends. Utterly civil to each other. Weird.

I feel like I'm living in the fucking Dark Ages.

I bet I am.

As of Friday October 2nd, it's Clinton 58%, Biden 19% and Sanders 17%. workinclasszero Oct 2015 #1

Which is why BS will never get the nomination, because he'll never get the Obama coalition. Tarheel_Dem Oct 2015 #36
