DU Poll: Regardless of your first choice, would you be comfortable with Sanders as the nominee?

46. Lol, as a "gelatinous 100 year old," hell no.

Populist leaders have to keep their "red in tooth and claw" populist followers fed. It is not a comfortable thought at all to empower a hostile movement that I now find has added people who are living and working too long to the list of "establishment" groups they're eager to destroy. .

Of course, bless their spiteful, hostile hearts, who can't understand the newest resentment of those always seething with aggressive resentment: against those who are living, working good jobs, and voting decades longer than before, instead of dropping dead and leaving the goodies to them? No difference really from their burning class resentments. No difference from the even deeper resentments against jumped up minorities and women who expect to share the respect, the good-paying jobs, and the inheritances for that matter, that were once their right. Same-old, same-old, same-old.

Anyway, comfort's just the wrong word to apply to any populist movement, regardless of its current favorite targets. To populists, including Sanders himself, everyone not with them is an enemy to be defeated or bystander to be marched over.

And, what's really scary-UNcomfortable is that to win the GE Sanders would have to draw a lot more of this type away from Trump's populist movement. What would he have to do then to keep them happy so they didn't turn on his own gelatinous ass? The idea of fighting fire with fire when you can't keep either from going wild is not comfortable.

A much happier idea is fuck them all with my old witch's broom, then turn it around and sweep them back into the holes they crawled out of. In other words, vote hell no in the primary.

From one of Sanders' largest groups of populist supporters:

"The essential problem is not that liberals are “as bad” as conservatives but rather that there is a giant sucking void at the core of their being."

"These days, there are two kinds of liberals: those who vote for Democrats because the alternative is worse, and those who get teary-eyed at the thought of supporting Cory Booker or some similarly phony slug. The latter are just moderate Republicans and should be written off completely. The former deserve better but probably have some misplaced attachment to the political tradition of “standing up” to the right wing."

How did this disordered creation develop these particular bizarre, hate speech notions about Democrats? Surely "I am not, nor have I ever been a liberal Democrat" Sanders had nothing to do with it?
