Highlight:

Massive NYC Sanders crowd "Smells like Woodstock." MSNBC. [View all] Atman Apr 2016 OP

I have few objections to the label JackInGreen Apr 2016 #1

they say such things because they speak their hope, not our reality roguevalley Apr 2016 #101

Maybe their contracts had amendments that they must say that. After all it is MSNBC. nt Snotcicles Apr 2016 #112

Justin Beiber can draw tens of thousands--and they will PAY to get in the venue. MADem Apr 2016 #2

Yeah, they are totally the same. Get off my fucking lawn. morningfog Apr 2016 #9

I'm not on your lawn. I did say something that upset you, clearly. MADem Apr 2016 #10

You have displayed your disdain for youth voters and their engagement in the process repeatedly. morningfog Apr 2016 #11

OK, let's strip out Justin B, and insert Tony Bennett. Feel better now? MADem Apr 2016 #16

You're saying those people showing up expect nothing from Sanders? polly7 Apr 2016 #29

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Not even close. Where'd ya get THAT? nt MADem Apr 2016 #30

Well you said it was the same as a crowd showing up for Justin Bieber. polly7 Apr 2016 #32

They're enamoured--to the point they're willing to pay to hear what they want to hear. MADem Apr 2016 #40

Ahhh ........... gotcha. polly7 Apr 2016 #43

YOU--not me--are the one calling them "stupid." And "brainwashed." MADem Apr 2016 #49

Boring and deceptive. Go argue your Bieber 'enamoured' masses excuse to someone else. polly7 Apr 2016 #57

If you're characterizing your own attempt to put words in my mouth, you are accurate. MADem Apr 2016 #59

"What I mean is what I say" - exactly. Got it the first time. polly7 Apr 2016 #62

You're working so hard to miss the point. And now you're adding "funny hair!" nt MADem Apr 2016 #64

Nah ... not working hard at all stating your point. nt. polly7 Apr 2016 #65

Gee, you respond twice to one post? I'd say that's working overtime! LOL~! nt MADem Apr 2016 #70

Did you get the 'oops, I forgot something' (that would mean I omitted something in the original polly7 Apr 2016 #72

Yep, you're working overtime! As for disingenuous and baiting, I believe that is your franchise. nt MADem Apr 2016 #75

oops .......... forgot something. polly7 Apr 2016 #66

Sure you don't--that's why you keep changing the subject .... to ME. nt MADem Apr 2016 #67

Always, always about you ............ Absolutely. I know that. nt. polly7 Apr 2016 #69

Really--you should just stop doing it. It never works to make an issue personal. MADem Apr 2016 #71

'Lame' was your insinuation that Bernie Sanders supporters are just 'enamoured' masses polly7 Apr 2016 #76

Now you're twisting and inventing some more...."standing in line?" That's your imagery. MADem Apr 2016 #78

ummm ...... get over yourself. I just replied to your silly post. Don't post stupid shit if you polly7 Apr 2016 #81

She attacks all sorts of people in the same way. Common denominator: her. DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2016 #111

Thank you, yes, I've noticed that. polly7 Apr 2016 #116

Now, now--no need to be churlish. MADem Apr 2016 #115

They're enamoured. frylock Apr 2016 #85

That's simple solidarity.... MADem Apr 2016 #117

Bogus comparison. Beiber provides music, Bernie provides TRUTH. senz Apr 2016 #45

I'll bet plenty of JB ticket holders believe his music is the ultimate "TRUTH." MADem Apr 2016 #46

But...Beiber didn't just win 3 primaries, did he? Hmm. senz Apr 2016 #61

And he's not running either cannabis_flower Apr 2016 #100
