In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton leading Bernie Sanders in California by 18 points, poll finds [View all]RiverNoord
(1,150 posts)Sanders supporters are about her, 'haters,' and gleeful they supposedly are when discussing any setbacks she might be experiencing.
Well, I don't do anything like of that, and I'm a Sanders supporter.
However, in this thread I've seen:
1) Mockery of the value of Sanders's rally crowds.
2) An implication that Sanders supporters live with their mothers, who drive them to Sanders rallies. (I'm 45 and left that nest at 17. I do, however, ensure that, although I live 3 hours away, I'm available to assist my parents should any health issues require my prompt attention.)
3) An inference that Sanders supporters aren't like Clinton supporters in not having jobs or 'actual responsibilities in life.' (I'm an IT manager for an American manufacturing firm and non-practicing attorney. I typically work around 70 hours per week.)
4) Your plainly mocking glee with a pun of the word 'momentum' ('no-mentum') you apply as a description of Sanders's campaign, presumably based on the subject of the OP.
5) An argument made that Democrats should 'come together,' as it is time for 'Don Quixote Sanders' to stop 'tilting at Clinton Windmills.' (That person seems to have a gross conceptual disconnect between the act of people coming together and the various ways in which people can be motivated to do so.)
I've also read quite a lot of posts explicitly directed against Sanders supporters indicating that they exhibit negative behavior which reflects badly on the question of the merit of his candidacy.
So... Is Sanders unique in that respect?
