    Default Your crazy Bernie loving facebook friends....

    Who else has rabid, crazy, Bernie Sanders loving FB friends? You know, the ones who, back in Feb and March were triumphantly posting every Bernie primary win and how they were going all the way to the White House?

    Don't hear much from them now. Chirping crickets, mostly.

    It's going to be fun watching them contort themselves into pretzels endorsing Hillary.

    Someone should make an "O really?" app for Facebook. It would work like this: Every time one of the erstwhile Bernie supporters posts how he is supporting Hillary because Donald Trump is teh debbil, it would automatically re-post one of their anti-Hillary diatribes from a few months ago.

    I think the German word is "Schadenfruede" - "Shameful Joy."

    I don't have any Bernie supporting friends, just an ill-informed relative. And while I don't care for the Bern, I'll encourage said relative all the way just to take away from the mad barking cur-dog, Hillary.

    I have strongly encouraged all my Democrat friends to vote for Bernie. I am doubling down on that message. Many of them are so pissed that they are going to write him in...

    Their loss.

    Encourage them, don't debate them. Tell them how great it would be to have Bernie.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    I've made it a point of cutting most Democrats out of my life completely.

    I have an uncle and a couple of cousins that are rabid Dems and I haven't spoken to them in close to 8 years.

    I have several friends that were rabid Dems last time I talked to them ... that was over 8 years ago.

    So I don't know if my friends and family who are Democrats are Bernie or Hillary supporters.

    Yeah...I got one of them on my Facistbook. He's a good guy and a fellow co-worker. He's just got a skewed view of politics, that's all. Although, as asmo stated, I'm all for encouraging them to still vote for the "Bern".

    I have one friend that is a Bernie supporter, and all for his socialist programs. It's ironic, because he is also upper middle class, and comes from money, but has absolutely no clue just how much all this socialist bullshit is going to take out of his pocket. He makes in the mid six figures, has lots of toys (cars, an rv, a boat), and I don't think he has any idea what an effective tax rate like the Nordic socialist paradises he's constantly touting (80+%) would do to his lifestyle. I like pissing him off by destroying his arguments with statistics provided by his beloved government.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Funny how someone that smart who can make that kind of $$$ can also be so damn ignorant. Well...heaven forbid we end up with some wackjob like Bernie in office and he watches his salary get pillaged by a system he initially supported. Then you and I can crack open a beer, smile and say, "I told you so."
