Because it’s impossible to get someone who is both younger and has good policies?

The Gravel campaign is literally three kids stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat. The DNC reformed the primary process after 2016 and what’s the first thing people do? Treat it like an open mic.

But at the same time, can you really imagine a Splinter post taking Bernie out to the woodshed for not wanting to end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court and then enthusiastically making the case for Biden?

*reads headline, braces for the comment avalanche*

Unreservedly yes.

This.

In primaries, you debate and show contrast, but you don’t perform character assassination that drags down your entire party. Hillary could have gone scorched earth against Bernie in the primary, but she didn’t because if he did win, she didn’t want him to be damaged (and also because her tactics were better than that…

There are a lot of things to like about Bernie, from his policies to his passion, even if his personality and political tactics can be grating. But the hands down worst, most intolerable thing about him, is his bullying, hectoring, arrogant, holier-than-thou, conspiracy-driven online supporters. People exactly like…

Winning by 3.5 million votes but having the loser still placed in office is pretty fucking rigged.

Your tinfoil hat might be on a little too tight.

Splinter’s entire ethos is dependent on helping to repeat 2016.

My argument is that conspiracy theories about presidential nominees being chosen by mysterious overlords in smoke-filled rooms are bullshit excuses used by Bernie die-hards who can’t accept the fact that he lost the 2016 primary by 3.5 million votes.

“I’m not toxic, I’m just saying you’re a stupid dishonest fuckboy.”

Thanks for exemplifying exactly why Bernie’s online supporters have such a terrible reputation of being irrational and toxic. Goodbye now.

And Qatar is... a brutal and repressive regime! Ding ding ding!

You’re just missing the “THE END IS NEAR” poster and a corner of the LA freeway.

If you’re going to defend Bernie’s supporters and in the same breath call Hillary a “disgusting human being,” your hypocrisy is even more blatant than I thought.

Ah yes, those mysterious all-powerful shady “elites” who secretly control everything. Are you really going full Bilderberger/Illuminati about the Democratic Party?

That was sick and wrong of them. But your enthusiasm to misappropriate everything about 2016 and willingness to ignore the point I actually made doesn’t excuse you.

A blogger who tweets shade against every Democrat who isn’t Bernie Sanders accusing someone of being “too online” is some rich, thick irony.
