Yeah agreed. Iowa is incomprehensible.

I resent the oversimplification of any Bernie supporter as a Bro and having a p-pony. I am an unashamed Bernie supporter. I will vote for any D nominee. I am sane and thoughtful about the whole thing.

Please stop participating in the troll-fired fake debate about Bernie Bros. Keeping that framing alive is playing into the hands of the R's troll factory. Let's stop. It's offensive.

Cool, but really how are you going to convince anyone that anyone should give a fuck about primary campaigning in, say, Washington state? We're an electoral college irrelevancy, demographically a hodgepodge, and... just...how do you make a compelling case that primary results here, early or late, matter?

Kill the endless primary season. Make it all one day, or maybe each time zone can have its own day one month apart if it's so important for each region to have its own special thing or for candidates to build a narrative or momentum. But this endless bullshit tide of single states voting and months and months of everyone advertising and campaigning and fighting with gobs and gobs of money off money wasted, all this needs to go. Delenda est.

Bit late, and sorry to say this, but close on 63 million of you fell for it last time. What on this still quite green Earth makes you think this time will be any different? Asked in sadness

Not really. Only about 13m fell for it. Of those who did, a sizeable percentage say they regret their vote and are switching back.

The bigger problem is the 100+m who didn’t vote at all.

How about this? Since AllLivesMatter and NotAllMen effectively masked the abuse that Black people and women suffer at the hands of misogynistic racists, do what I do when being a good ally:

If it does not apply, do not reply. Acknowledge that your demographic contains hurtful people and move on. It’s only personal when you make it all about you.

Stop trying to deny my battle scars at the hands of bitter, mean idealogues who screamed at me for my Hillary vote. Thank you.

Have a dog grooming salon, maybe Martin can let you work a bit or help you out in some way. Just been wanting to help someone here as we seem to be a little further from the fires, half hour away at the scariest time. Take care whatever you do.Mrs. MC

So he will vote for someone who did not even make the debate? I hope every reply was "Da comrade."
