137. Not an apt analogy since it assumes the election "house" is yours and Hillary's house. It's not.

Fri Jun 3, 2016, 05:16 PM

Jun 2016

The man is no guest at your "first woman President" fiesta. Nor has he left "crap" or been a "hog." Bernie's 28 years of good service in Congress made him part owner of this election house and he ain't leavin' 'til he's damned good and ready. When your own party's candidate has been blacked out by fearful establishment media lapdogs, and when Sean Hannity even feels guilty about it, you know this man is not getting due respect.

This "pain in the ass" attitude, added to accusations of "subconscious misogyny" toward millions of young people who've been more sensitive to feminist issues than any generation in history, suggests that the OP and you are among a huge number of thin-skinned sore winners. If you consider your camp the winners.

There has been nothing gained in DU with all this "pain in the ass" attitude from Hillary supporters. I've stayed away from it.

But now that we should be in the "may the best wo/man win" mode, people just can't quit talking shit about Berners or Bernie, instead of challenging his record, agenda or weaknesses as a leader.

Hillary hasn't engaged in these personalized resentments. She and Bernie have engaged in the adult politics. People around here need to shake off GOP general political habits. Because we're going to have NoDrought Trump on the horizon and his folks are enthusiastically united in their stupidity, with plenty of oligarchic money to back it.
