So in other words, I'm right, but you don't want to admit it. I'll admit I'm a bit frustrated with people who believe BS so easily. I get the same way when people tell me that the anti-illegal immigrant movement is "anti-immigrant". It isn't the same thing.
If you think national health care is a radical idea, you've bought right wing talking points. Where you heard them from I'm not sure, but you've bought them. If you think being opposed to illegal immigration is racist and anti-immigrant, you've bought Democrat talking points.
I just had the same reaction to a family member who called Bernie Sanders a "communist". If you want to say stupid s**t, I'm going to correct it. Not angrily, just matter of fact honestly.
I think you need some anger management, because you're coming across like a blown-out hothead with a huge chip on your shoulder who is incapable of having a reasonable conversation with a stranger without flipping your lid and making ridiculous unfounded accusations.
Kind of frightening, actually. Good luck with that.

You're moving dangerously close to violating the terms of service now....
You didn't listen or you didn't understand what Bernie said. As I said, you were attracted too much to his white hair.
My post was in response to the irrespectful personal attack on Bernie.
This is just what happens during election season. People attack candidates for their positions. Candidates put themselves on a soap box and receive heaps of criticism in response. If you think that taking on individuals and making it a personal thing through name-calling and putdowns is a justified use of communication skills though then well, knock yourself out. You run the risk of people discounting your opinions entirely however as a not-very-smart-person.
There are thankfully plenty of people left who are capable of conversing to and fro on these topics without utterly wigging out and taking it personally that people don't share their same philosophy. I'll have to do a better job sticking to discussion with those people. Some of you here are just growing more desperate and angry by the day.

You already did when you responded to me with an insult using typed out profanity with astericks. So I guess that puts us closer to being a level playing field.

The asterisked out profanity was directed at an idea, not at a person. See the difference?
Anyway, sleep well with your "this is the United States" reasoning for having a ridiculously overpriced health care system. At least you ain't no commie!!
At least we aren't thinking about how to cheat like Hillary's workers did in Nevada.
I guess you know Bernie's campaign has had it's own issues with cheating, yes?

Dumbheads are the ones that attend Bernie's rallies and then fail to vote. Which is apparently the case.

You proved to be very selective in whom to accuse of personal attacks.

No I don't know. Are you referring to the data breach episode? It turned out the person involved was a plant by Clinton's team.
Dumbheads are those who trust a proven untrustworthy candidate, a renowned liar.

Where do you get this idea from? Even though primary turnout isnt as high as in 2008, its still very high on historical levels. And no one knows Sanders better than the people in Vermont, it is one of the best educated and informed electorates in the country and they voted Sanders so overwhelmingly that Hillary was not a viable candidate and didnt reach the 15% threshold for delegates.
This free stuff crap is getting ridiculous. I'm in the top 5% and I support Sanders. 95% of the Sanders supporters on Facebook feed have jobs and many of them are also 5%ers. Just another talk radio mantra the right wing media lemmings regurgitate.
I'm 28 and virtually 99% of my friends and people I know on facebook are going crazy for Sanders, yet he is doing so poorly so far. Part of the reason is the Democratic leadership doing everythinng they can to give the election to Clinton and the other part is most of his voter base are youths. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have Sanders over Clinton because Clinton is a lying SOB.

1.4 million more votes as of now. That's more people voting for Clinton, not some nefarious plot. Seriously all the griping Bernie supporters do, it's as if they think he somehow owns the nomination and doesn't have to earn the votes to get it.
