2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Stop 3/5ing the vote of the AA community. [View all]Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)But I also don't let the bullshit people say on the internet affect my political decision-making. And there has been a nonstop noise machine here for 8 months or so about "teh berniebros said this!" masquerading as discussion around political decision-making.
Look, you guys have won, in all likelihood. I acknowledge that. I figured all along Hillary would probably be the nominee, and I certainly have a good list of reasons to support her and skills and qualifications which I think will make her a supremely capable POTUS. I have no problem there, assuming there isn't more shit coming from the DOJ that could upend the apple cart.
But the irony of the people who have literally spent the past 2/3 of a year here in GDP (as well as other places, as we all know) in a full-tilt series of lame ad hominem attacks against "sanders supporters" to still be going on about the untenable outragee of who said what because they said this and canyoubelieeeeeeeeeve it.
It's a small bit of hypocrisy that I just can't let pass without comment.
And yes, there has been some strenuously bad bullshit said about AA voters in southern states here, I am not disagreeing with you there.
But again, if we're really looking to "cut the internecine squabbling", do you honestly think that the way to do it is with yet more of this insulting "white male berniebro" bullshit?
