11. It's just a little ritualistic rallying - plus

4. I find the term "Bernie's Army" to be off-putting.

But seriously, that's a great chant! Could have used that for the Feel the Bern Rose Parade March!!! I'll use that one next time.

We did a few good ones though, I liked this one:

B-E-R
N-I-E
Bernie fights for you and me!

But, I think me meant it more that there were A LOT of people doing something in unison, like an Army gun drill.

6. I was just making a reference to the OP about 'Feel the Bern' being off-putting.

I find Hillary's foreign policy and economic positions far more off-putting than some slogan.

8. When it comes down to picking on slogans, you know they're threatened.

I feel like one reason it was brought up is that they know how powerful it is and want to try to get us to stop using it by making it 'un-PC'.

I've asked a couple times what the OP hoped to accomplish by posting that, no answer yet. That's my new tactic when I read posts that attempt to insult Bernie or his supporters, I keep asking people what they hope to accomplish with their post. No answers yet!

12. I still don't get how that's supposed to be "un-PC," either.

But, while they're complaining about grassroots slogans, their candidate's paid-for graphic designers keep making mistakes with her logo.

First, the Rosa Parks fiasco, then the Kwanzaa kerfuffle and now the "I'm a 1 percenter" New Year's logo.
