Why is Sanders screaming?

[lunamagica]

Now, I will say, I don't mind...I'm just sick and tired of the "is Hillary screaming?" Why is Hillary screaming?" posts.

They get passionate...they get carried away. OK?

[Empowerer]

1. But he's a man so he's being assertive

When she does it, she's shrieking . . .

[Cali_Democrat]

9. The double standard is pretty obvious, isn't it?

When women get into politics, they are on the receiving end of a lot of hostility simply because they're women.

You can see it right here on DU.

It's pathetic.

19. The Berniac motto:

"Our standards are so strong, we've doubled them!"

[roguevalley]

27. yawn. how about something besides this to make someone want to vote for HRC?

[OilemFirchen]

32. I said nothing about Clinton, nor making anyone do anything.

Thanks for sharing, nonetheless.

[lunamagica]

11. I know, I know

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

37. This explains it all

[Punkingal]

2. He isn't.

[bigwillq]

3. He always screams.

But Most politicans do.

I don't see the big deal if they do.

[lunamagica]

6. I suspect it's ok if the men do

[bigwillq]

14. Man or woman, I have no problem with either one

Getting passionate, loud and screaming in a speech.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

16. Good grief. Nt

[Turn CO Blue]

41. You will recall what they did to Howard with the "Dean Scream" meme - they BURIED him

in mockery and derision for days. That story held on in the news cycle for way too long.

Howard Dean is a man. He dared to shout! He screamed (gasp!)

The media and his opponents crucified him for it and used it as a hammer for the nails in his campaign coffin.

4. Sanders always sounds angry. And points his fingers.

But it's good when a man does it!

[MrMickeysMom]

7. You mean you're finally listening?

Good for you!

[KittyWampus]

18. Finally? He's been narrowly focused on economic justice for decades

There's no 'finally' about it.

He's a one trick pony.

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Keep on talking Kitty....

More importantly, KEEP ON LISTENING!

[KittyWampus]

24. sorry, the thread is about the sexist crap Sanders supporters throw at Clinton

so no, I won't listen.

As for Sanders himself, I don't care much for demagogues.

And politically he's as sophisticated at a sophomore student.

[MrMickeysMom]

33. I'd consult you, but...

Like you said, you're beyond being consulted.

Sweet dreams

[Empowerer]

21. It means he's passionate. If she does it, she's "unhinged"

[lunamagica]

5. Yes, he is

[valerief]

8. I'm sick and tired of this juvenile complaint. nt

[Paulie]

10. I thought he learned it from this guy

[immoderate]

12. Because it sounds like angels singing?

--imm

[cyberswede]

17. Those places are loud. nt

[Bobbie Jo]

20. No kidding.

All that flailing about. Is he okay?

[Thenewire]

23. Sanders is the worse thing to happen to the Democratic party

I'm so disillusioned at the amount of democrats who think he is right for the country. He is riding on the same fanaticism that propels other extremists. Do they really expect a 75 year old agnostic socialist to become president of this country?

[NightWatcher]

25. Did you think a black guy with a middle name Hussein would?

[jeff47]

26. Hey, could you point me towards the clause in the Constitution that requires

a religious test for government positions?

Thanks!

[beam me up scottie]

28. It should be a Christian?

[jberryhill]

30. Yes. A Christian money-worshipper

[beam me up scottie]

35. Amazing the things you read here.

I've seen people defend Kissinger ffs.

[cui bono]

39. They already have 4 hidden posts.

Is it too late for MIRT?

.

[beam me up scottie]

40. Yes, they're flagged though.

[enlightenment]

29. "The number of democrats"

"Amount" is used for uncountable nouns - like bravery or lunacy or bitter disappointment.

You are exhibiting a significant amount of bitterness at the moment.

A great number of democrats don't feel the same way.

[HassleCat]

31. An extremist?

Oh, like Franklin Roosevelt. Of course.

[Earth_First]

36. Is that assertion or longing? nt

[Jim Lane]

38. My response to the hidden post

The vote was 5-2 to hide. Only we two dissenters wrote anything. Earth_First, I'm very glad that you responded before the hide, so that I have a hook on which to hang my thoughts. I was Juror #5.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Feb 2, 2016, 12:31 AM, and the Jury voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Rude and inappropriate.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is the standard "No we can't" argument from Clinton supporters (who, of course, never face the fact that, with Republican control of Congress, Clinton will also be dead of old age before any of her ideas can be realized, except for those ideas that involve coddling Wall Street and starting imperialist wars). In this post, the standard anti-Sanders diatribe is couched in usually nasty and unnecessarily personal tones -- a connotation of ageism here, to go with the religious bigotry from the same poster in #23. Nevertheless, the underlying argument about the prospects for the next four years has some substance, even when accompanied by ageism, bigotry, and a gross double standard. I deem it better to let the post stand so that its (wisp of) substance can be answered.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's a stupid post, but people don't need to be protected from stupidity.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
