Sure, Bernie may be my state senator, but his endless outrage echo of what we all know to be true without actually doing anything is getting tiresome.

Commander Tugboat - 2017-12-21 "Wow the republicans sure did eat our lunch."
"I know, I mean we knew they were mobilizing a large subset of angry voters by ensuring that the message they wanted to be heard was being transmitted at all times and keeping them in a mode of high dudgeon, but who knew that would translate into a stunning upset victory?"
"Yeah for real, I -- Oh jeez is Sanders giving another angry speech? Pack it in, grampers!"

If sanders has accomplished one thing it is to prove that the easiest way to keep your job as a politician is to do as little as possible but give very passionate speeches.

SolRo - 2017-12-21 I was talking about his whole career as a politician, which amounts to maybe 2 instances of working with other people to get shit done and 27+ years of protest votes and grandstanding

Nominal - 2017-12-22 Yup. If there's one thing people demanded in 2016, it's presidential candidates with no ability to actually get shit done and their only skill being pounding on a podium and shouting.
I can't believe how anyone could have actually sat down to look at Sanders' almost nil list of accomplishments in the nine years he's been in the senate. In fact he's the opposite of getting shit done with his protest voting against pragmatic compromises. He wouldn't have been anywhere close to as bad as a Republican president but I wasn't looking forward to finding out what he would have done with that attitude wielding executive veto rather than only being one vote out of a hundred.
Hillary wasn't great, but thinking she was a corrupt corporate shill anti-christ was ridiculous, especially coming from people claiming to be hip to right wing propaganda. The one and only area Sanders beat her was pounding on a podium and yelling, which is all a lot of progressives cared about. And when they didn't get exactly what they wanted, they went full Bernie and protest voted.

Five stars to all the people here that agree with Sanders but still criticize him.
Reasons why Poetv hates Bernie Sanders:
I liked him before he was cool. He's too mainstream now, totally sold out.
He sorta jumped the shark after season four.
The original manga was much deeper.
Subs over dubs.
I used to like him, but his fandom really turned me off of him.
Christopher Eccleston was cool, but I just can't get into the Peter Capaldi version of Bernie Sanders.
Sanders before Pinkerton.
He just isn't the same with high fructose corn syrup. You should get bottles of Mexican Bernie Sanders instead. I can totally tell the difference.
These constant tweets by the author retconning stuff totally turned me off the whole thing.

Shanghai Tippytap - 2017-12-21 +1 for hazelnut from a canadian. anyone on the left who 'sits out' the next election is flexing their privilege of not seriously being affected by how bonkers your country is getting. if there's one thing that's supposed to define the left, it's enlightened self-interest.
|
Commander Tugboat - 2017-12-21 To Bort oneself out of victory is to pretend that it was only "lefties" who stayed home, that the "lefties" can be convinced into voting for whatever dipshit bloodless centrist the DNC puts forward if we JUST snivel at them a little harder, and that everyone else who stayed home can be ignored (because they don't exist, everyone loves Bloodless Centrist).
|
Bort - 2017-12-21 So to summarize Commander Tugboat: it's not the Left who's staying home, and also the Left is staying home because the Democrats are too centrist, and anyway the Democrats should pay more attention to people who aren't on the Left.
Oh yeah, I'm going to take that pile of horseshit seriously.

SolRo - 2017-12-21 I'm like most people who don't live in sander's state;
I didn't know he existed until he suddenly demanded to be president.
