Before that, Elizabeth Warren was attacked mercilessly for months and months.

But nobody has said a single bad word about Hillary.

Has there been a criticism of a specific policy?

A statement that he shouldn't run?

Please feel free to share...

Point made.

eta: speaking of "reading comprehension," try again:

An anti-Bernie thread with "I Love Bernie, bless him" in the title?

For instance, someone can read Shakespeare's line in Romeo and Juliet, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet", and never have the slightest idea of what was meant, or why it has been a classic cliche that has been used so often for centuries.

No jokes about his voice, his hair, his clothing, his spouse, or even the amount of money he can command for giving a speech. No snark about the thickness of his ankles or his failure to comment on every single issue in the news or considered under the sun right foooking NOW--because everything needs to be done and said NOW, you hear me, NOW!!!!!!!



About the only crabbing I've seen had to do with him registering to run as a Democrat. "No, he doesn't HAVE to...." say some. "Yes, he does, if he wants to run on the BIG D ticket" say others (the others are right, though the League of Women voters or who-so-ever is running the debates CAN, if they want, invite "others" to debates if the primary candidates agree). In any event, when he files his FEC forms we'll know what camp he's pitching his tent in!!!

Welcome to the race, Senator Sanders!

It was brutal, petty and pretty doggone dumb. Self-appointed experts insisted that it mattered, that the arrows pointed the wrong way, all kinds of bitter silliness! I forgot to include that in my list above.

I find the HRC thing memorable--and it's growing on me. I thought the original Obama logo was a bit different, too, and it grew on me as well.

That said, I don't vote for candidates based on their logos. I voted for Deval Patrick, and I found his signs to be rather bland!

than we do the threads that we agree with. Even if many more threads express the same opinion that we share, we seem to internalize the few that disagree and internalize that as 'many threads'.

That poster likes Bernie.

The post is simply describing how Bernie will be portrayed by the media and how many Americans will buy into it.

I see the post as more of an attack on the media.
