Will be SO glad after next Tues. Some Bernie fans actually compare Hillary to Trump. INSANE!

There is just no other way to describe the Bernie fans who are literally saying on this site that Hillary is as bad as FrankenTrump and will sit out the election. There is just no way describe to them other than INSANE.

I will be SO glad after next Tuesday and Skinner stops all non-unity posts. These Bernie-Bot mega-radicals are NUTS who would go so far as to compare Hillary to Trump. Just crazy. And there is just no other way to describe it. They have lost all touch with facts and reality.

I personally suspect the louder the "Clinton=Trump" rant, the bigger the paycheck from Revolution Messaging. No one who is seriously a Democrat OR a liberal would entertain such an outrageous comparison, even for a moment.

which can't come soon enough for me.

I'm tired of the haters too. I would have voted for BS in November had he won the primaries but I am definitely voting for HRC.

But to fault those who voted it for and disregard the con game GWB/Cheney pulled is disingenuous ....and the now...trying politicize by sanders supporters, to me, is disrespecting all our people who fought and died in all our wars

He did, after all, support regime change in Libya and vote for it re: Iraq twice.

Many of them are, of course, but at least a couple of the posters in those threads are clearly here solely to foster division. They're trying to make Sanders supporters, in general, look like clueless dopes (and doing a bang-up job). They're the same ones who pushed the "the Deep South doesn't count" memes, supported stuff like that ridiculous thread about Stockholm Syndrome, and post the same right-wing nonsense over and over. Now, they're professing complete ignorance about Memorial Day? I don't buy it.

To be clear, I'm only talking about a few of them - the ones that couldn't be any more obvious about it. The sad thing is that some others who we can only assume are "real" Sanders supporters hop right on the bandwagon. Some of them will defend anything, regardless of how ridiculous it is.

There are a few that post the same thing in just about every single post, like clockwork. Ignore them.

Pretty sure some of the most obstinate aren't even Sanders supporters.

As for the comparisons to Trump, the ones doing that are either being intentionally obtuse or they're ignorant.

Either way, not really worth the time. They'll be gone before long.

such feverish hatred for a Presidential candidate. Even W didn't inspire such. I don't know whether they simply have too much ego in this (after all, they tell us repeatedly that we don't know what is in our best interests) or they totally consumed the RW kool aid. Either way, it speaks more to them than Hillary, and it is not complimentary.

I find myself sincerely hoping that a lot of them are just trolls. The alternative is seriously disturbing.
