I posed a theory on Facebook that perhaps, if all the Bernie fanatics showed up with such enthusiasm to local and mid-term elections, we wouldn’t need a revolution. And the overwhelming response was that “it’s all rigged, man!”

It does feel like the start of a cult. Brainwashing and group think.

Cult of personality maybe? That’s what it feels like.

I don’t know how that’s possible, if your facebook feed is anything like mine. Bernie article after Bernie article after Bernie article. And I’ve read them, and then looked for better articles. I was on the fence about Bernie *until* I read his nonsense. I too appreciate that he brings a very liberal voice to…

One of my big issues with Bernie is that he’s talking about a political revolution and all the things that need to happen, and it’s not just that he doesn’t seem to have a viable plan from the White House level, he’s not even helping to get other progressives elected in order to get this done. The president is the…

They are fools. These contests are for parties to nominate a candidate. They only have a case for voter suppression if they are prevented from voting in the general election. They have a right to vote in the general election, but they do not have a constitutional right to vote in primaries as parties are not public…

If one more Bernie bro tells me I just haven’t read the right article otherwise I’d be a convert too, I am going to scream

You know what’s most hilarious about this? Sanders supporters are going to be the ones most impacted by this because Hillary wins Democrats over him. Sanders groupies are always smugly chiding people to “do their research” but couldn’t be bothered to do the research in the states in which they want to vote. The New…

I’m shocked at how bearable this comment section is.

I live in prime Bernie territory in New York and work in the arts and so a good majority of Facebook friends from work and my neighborhood are Bernie people. And when I checked my Facebook feed this morning I saw a million posts from those folks about “voter suppression” and the last I checked someone posted about a…

This is also funny because of the big “Bernie or Bust” movement. You say you’re interested in change and will remain consistently engaged and make the change happen...yet you’ve stated you’re going to abandon the electoral process if guy doesn’t get the nom. That’s not how that works. At all.

YES, thank you. This is definitely special little snowflakes wanting to have their cake and eat it too. Either disavow parties and, depending on your state, your role in the primary process or fucking register as a Democrat for fuck’s sake. Either way, don’t offensively shout “OMG Voter Suppression!!!1!11!!!” like an…

But I should be allowed to vote when I want, where I want, however many times I want! I'm sick of the establishment with all its rules, specifically designed to prevent me from destroying the establishment! It's a conspiracy!

Plus I have a hard time sympathizing with registered independents in closed primary states. Not wanting to be labeled even though there are literally no consequences or obligations associated with party affiliation feels so ridiculously precious and self indulgent. Registering with a party is even less onerous than…

People forget that once upon a time in New York elections were outright rigged, like dead people voting, voting multiple times, all of that. The closed primary and early registration deadline were put in place to protect against a real injustice of fixed elections.

this is very different from the Bernie bros I know (and I know quite a few): their hallmark trait seems to be cynicism. to hear them talk Bernie would have everyone’s approval if it weren’t for the evil media not giving him the coverage he deserves. furthermore, there’s a marked air of defeat, on a personal level,…

I’m so glad the NY primary is going to be over so I don’t have to hear idiots who feel like they shouldn’t have to follow the rules whine about “voter suppression”. No a closed primary that only allows party member to choose the candidate for that party is not suppression. You not bothering to look up the rules is not…

I really hate that it’s such a pain in the ass to watch her show if you don’t have cable. I have a cable login and have to airplay it from the TBS app on my ipad.

This is amazing:

The thing is a lot of these Bernie bros, like Bernie himself, aren’t Democrats and wouldn’t normally vote for a Democrat. They’re the ones who tell you Obama is a war criminal and how there’s no difference between the two parties. They’re not bothered by things like reproductive rights, gay marriage, or getting thrown…
