Seriously, where is the talking points generator?

Putting aside that the "Now's your CHANCE for revolution, Bernie! Prove it!" is a pretty sloppy, lazy poorly thought out meme...

The question is: Where is this being generated from? There are far too many of the same posts today for this to be an accident.

Is this coming from the Hillary Campaign?

I've been saying

1) We have one president at a time. Right now that's Obama.

2) ALL OF US should be uniting behind the president on this issue while he takes the lead.

3) Hillary and Bernie will be supportive of Obama's nominee, and so should we all.

4) First task of the political revolution ought to be to GOTV for Bernie Sanders because that's going to determine the next president.

Once that meme rises out of this swamp and makes it onto CNN and MSNBC, that can become a TV meme just like Bernie Bros did.

Bernie can take a political hit from it. It can actually hurt us. That's why they're doing it. They know what they're doing.

It's bullshit but sounds like a legitimate challenge.


We have one president at a time. We're following President Obama's lead and Bernie wants to vote for the President's nominee.


nah fuck it.

How on earth can a single Senator from Vermont wield any kind of national influence so as to lead to a sea change in the nation's consciousness?

How on earth could a candidate for POTUS exert any influence on the Republicans who plan on blocking a SCOTUS appointee when even the President can't?

No one from our side ever suggested that Bernie can do things that Hillary can't. At most, when asked "How will Bernie get it done?, we point out that that is the same question facing Hillary or any other candidate.

He's got what, $100 million?, to spend on spreading the propaganda on Internet and social media.

If anyone is that compulsive, it would be interesting to note and catalog the daily talking points. Surely there's an eventual limit before they start repeating themselves. Then we can determine the pattern.

Current talking points against Bernie:

01: Dreamer
02: Not realistic
03: Still unelectable
04: Still behind in delegates
05: One issue/one note
06: Supporters are insane, crazy people
07: Member of Congress and did nothing
08: Member of Congress and part of the establishment
09: NRA supporter
10: Racist
11: From a white state with no black people
12: Minorities abandoned him
13: Did nothing during civil rights movement (debunked)
14: Too old to be elected president
15: Phony, fake, fraud
16: Socialist/Communist
17: Supporters are mean spirited (mostly because they debunk the bullshit)
18: No foreign policy experience/Not ready to be commander-in-chief
19: Not a real Democrat/Johnny come lately
20: Uses Super PACS/donors broke the law.


This is what happens with a DLC triangulator gets desperate.
