Bernie V Hillary threads

"we have to learn to distinguish the difference between an imperfect friend and a deadly enemy" Bill Maher

[sheshe2]

1. Please clarify.

Who is the imperfect friend and who is the deadly enemy?

[Hun Joro]

2. I hope I'm not misinterpreting this, but...

I read it that Hillary and Bernie are imperfect friends and Trump and the GOP are the deadly enemies? We need to stop battling each other.

[paleotn]

5. That's how I read it...

and it appears to be pointed at those looking for the "perfect" candidate.

[sheshe2]

6. It can be read different ways.

The Op is ambiguous and that we do not need right now.

[Saviolo]

12. Seems unambiguous to me...

If someone can read that and mistake Trump, a man who won't disown white nationalists and -actual nazis- as an "imperfect friend," then I have to wonder if that person has been paying attention.

There are no perfect allies, but we have a hell of a perfect enemy in front of us right now. People have actually died at the hands of nazis in the streets, so the deadly enemy should be incredibly clear right now.

15. Good for you.

Well, Saviolo. I have never mistaken Trump to be the imperfect friend and your intimating that I am not paying attention is making an assumption of someone you do not even know, If you have been reading the board and the snark "Hillary vs Sanders" there you would know it is ambiguous. It could very well be talking about HC and BS as the title states. Perhaps it would be better to clarify OPs and not go for what could be a META thread even though META forum was dropped long ago.

I know my enemy. He is the one that is about to take health care from 23 million people and laugh all the way to the bank with his humongous tax breaks. He is the man that is taking away protections for people with disabilities. The P***y grabber in chief said it is okay to assault women, kill black people, deport brown people, remove transgender from the military and on top of that he is making America a laughing stock to the entire world. He is going to kill us all without a care. I know my enemy. Do not tell me I have NOT paid attention.

[Saviolo]

16. Great, so we angrily agree with each other!

Believe it or not we're on the same page.

I wanna see the Hillary bashing go away. I wanna see the Bernie bashing go away. They're both really big and important voices right now. So much so that either one of them sucks all the air out of the room. But they're both staunchly anti-Trump, which is where we all need to be.

Time to focus on what's coming. Mid-terms, 2020, and protecting the vulnerable people on the left that are being attacked right now, including POC, women, LGBTQ+, the poor, immigrants, and people standing up to actual nazis.

4. Bernie V Hillary threads...

are a complete and total waste off time and energy. I don't give a shit about what happened yesterday. What's done can't be undone. You learn from it and move the fuck on. What matters is what are we going to do today and more importantly tomorrow.

[leftofcool]

7. But there are 65 million people who do indeed care

You can't correct mistakes until you own them and you can't figure out how to run a Democratic campaign until you correct the mistakes. Hillary supporters will not move in until the sexism stops, the slander stops, the lies stop being told and people on both the right and left stop believing in the nothingburger scandals. It was absolutely vomit inducing when people right here in this forum referred to Hillary as "Billary" or "Killary." There are millions of us who will not move on until this is stopped.

[left-of-center2012]

8. I'm sick of all the bashing and daily attacks

Those doing it claim it's educational;
we'll learn from it;
it'll make us better, more pure.

And if we lose in 2018 and 2020 due to the circular firing squad,
they'll be energized to continue the bashing.

STOP IT !

9. this is exactly what i meant.

"I read it that Hillary and Bernie are imperfect friends and Trump and the GOP are the deadly enemies? We need to stop battling each other."
Who is to say those calling Hillary Killary or whatever are not just trolls/russian bots just here to keep the pot boiling?
I have taken to trashing threads that appear to be inciting disagreement between Bernie and Hillary.
Hang on my friends, it won't be long until the next primary and then we will have many candidates to debate about.

[Lunabell]

10. Your point exactly?

We don't need divisiveness especially now. Trump is the enemy.

[Cryptoad]

11. taste like Russian Dressing,,,,,,

[ProudLib72]

13. Who are these Bernie and Hillary you speak of?

Perchance they are candidates from yesteryear?

[Xolodno]

14. Before this get to 100+ replies...

You are a dumb ass if you keep rehashing the H vs. B primary! At best! Or fucking Russian Paid Troll....here to cause disruption. And to both of that, I say, FUCK YOU!!!!....oh and by the way, I'm Russian....with no doubt some Ukrainian and other nationalities.

It's over. Because of bullshit like this, we have President that makes us wishing W was back in office. Bernie is not going to run for President, Hillary is not going to run for President......they are done. And after everything we know, they were both doomed to lose, because we got a taste sadly, of our own damn medicine in interfering in elections. IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER YOU DUMB SHIT WHO CAN'T EVEN CONNECT THE DOTS ON A FIRST GRADE SHEET WITH NUMBERS!!!. You can argue "yeah but, that was back when..." If you do that, your a dumbass x2. People may not have long memories, but feuds, corruption, etc. that effect families, populaces, etc. have very LONG memories... So we aren't getting any sympathy from the rest of the world.

Grow up. We got screwed. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Elect a Congress to fix this shit, make sure, even if it means holding your Flying Spaghetti Monster damn nose, elect a Dem President.... fyi, I'm a heretic Christian. Repub's didn't move left, despite their "autopsy", because they found a way via gerrymandering, voter suppression, dividing the Democratic Party...oh and a bit of "looking the other way"...and a good chance of, out right collusion with a foreign entity. But fucking bringing this bullshit again is giving EXACTLY what they want. Rationalize all the fuck you want, but it won't excuse the the FACT, you are either a DUMBASS or RUSSIAN PAID TROLL....take your pick. Keep hashing this shit out, shame on you.

Oh and I'm not anti Bernie, the Democratic Party is actually conservative in my view. Why? Because I'm a fucking Socialist. Deal with it. But even then, I knew Hilary would be a shit load of bricks better than Trump...but people didn't vote for her because of butt hurt. Guess what dumb asses, if you want to hurt your own party due to corruption...and yes, the DNC shenanigans was corruption, be fucking sure the alternative won't fuck you up so much even you can't handle. Choose your battles, don't be a dumb shit fucking asshole. Or even better, GET FUCKING INVOLVED. Don't bitch at the temperature while Rome is burning.

Oh and yes, I'm well aware this will get alerted and hidden. But to the jury.... For all the petty bullshit juries I've been on... I'll make this easy for you. Besides, I haven't had a post hidden in awhile. Your welcome.

Side note, just realized, in typing this, the thread probably hit 100+.

Also to the OP, I get your post was against the Hilary vs. Bernie...or Bernie vs. Hilary threads...for those who get but hurt, this wasn't directed at you. Had a few drinks and well, you know.
