There's a trope in many, many movies, where the bullies cause the nice person to run off in tears as the bullies have a nice laugh.

And then some decent person steps forward to chastise everyone that went along with the bullies saying something like, "I hope you're all happy. All they ever wanted to do was help people, and this is how you treat them. You should all be ashamed of yourselves."

In the movies, some of these people actually do feel some remorse. In real life, the bullies could give a shit.

There were no bullies. Instead, there were enlightened candidates and millions of voters. Listening to Sanders, I felt bullied! Belligerent demands that we magically change reality ... and chastising those not handing him their vote. Earned him a heart attack in the process.

It’s well known, Sanders does not play well with others. And as a conglomeration of United States, there are others … lots of them.. Failing to describe how he’d achieve his goals - while locked down by the same Republican Senate and/ or House as Obama - felt criminal.

A pied-piper at best, he may now be relegated to the Nader’s of our nation - those conning our youth and politically ignorant into casting their votes for some nobody and allowing evil to ‘win.’

The saddest part of the Sanders movement is their lack of understanding that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden would have led us to the right place. Having piled on Hillary, scared off better known Moderates - and fed fears of the only party capable of repairing the nation, history - if we survive - will surely give Sanders the same ‘credit’ Nader earned having ..fucked us over. So claiming ‘your victimhood’ is Bullshit.

The saddest part is that, thanks to the party choosing Biden, regardless of which of them wins in November, evil wins.

I beg to differ. Wikileaks exposed the perfidy of the DNC and Team Hillary. Nothing's changed. I used to think Nader played a part in Bush becoming president, but no one's vote is obligated to a candidate. Hillary crapped on progressives at every turn, even to the point of choosing Tim "Right to work" Kaine as VP. Chuck Schumer assured everyone that chasing after moderate Republican votes would pay off.

The DNC ratfvckers went out of their way to kneecap Bernie. It will turn out badly for Biden and the nation. They're handing Dolt 45 a second term.

We have Trump specifically because of the tone deafness of the Demicratic Establishment. Districts that went solidly for Obama both times voted for Trump, third party, or stayed home because he bailed out Wall Street instead of Main St.

Trump was Team Hillary's handpicked Pied Piper. She played chicken with the fate of the nation in her pursuit of power... and lost.

Heckuva job, DNC.

Turns out coasting to the finish line in anticipation of her coronation because it was "her turn" wasn't such a grest strategy after all.

It wasn't the Russians that kept her from campaigning in key swing state districts.

GTFO of here with your revisionism.

@WilliamCharles Apparently, having drunk the kool aid … pumping the stomach by way of reality is not enough 😕 Conspiracy theories abound, and I’ve no time for them - especially when attempting to stain our nation's best.

@RoboGraham “Evil” has slowed our progress forever. Progressing from FDR, it continues to. It limits our speed of progress, and, we’re falling dangerously behind..

Our politicians reflect the people as much as themselves or any aspirations, it’s how they’re elected. Attempt to move too fast, not that it isn’t needed, and lose to an opponent. Moderate, win - and enact judges, enact policies and make laws for progress.

Not sure where that’s losing you…? Do you fail to understand how elected representatives are limited by those who elect them? Do you think voting for a person of perfection guarantees progress? If so - I give you Barack Obama, last decades progressive savior.

What continues to sicken me about your constant putdowns, not toward the party and president deserving of them - but to those looking to gather the votes it takes to win back the presidency, hold on to The House ..and hopefully take back the Senate -- You attack someone for having gained more support than your choice 😕

Grow a pair - and take on the real enemy! Give the next president either a Congress they can work with - or one that shuts him down! There’s no evidence ‘your choice’ would have won, now or then. And there’s good reason both the Republicans and Russians wanted him in this race! Turn your vitriolic rage and negativism toward the Republicans running against your Governor, Congressional Rep. or US Senator - and stop bad-mouthing someone looking to clean up this national mess..

@Varn

As I said before, meaningful discourse with you isn't possible so I'm not going to attempt it.

@RoboGraham No - yur problem is your shit stinks ~

@Varn

Shit stinks, yes. Got any other brilliant insights?

@RoboGraham That you would poo poo 😉

@Varn

Wow, with intelligent responses like these, you give Chomsky a run for his money.

I think it's hilarious that the subject of this post is that people like you did quite a lot of bullying and here you are engaging in immature name calling. Thanks for proving the point.

@Varn

See what I mean about how attempting to have meaning discussions with you is a fools errand?

@Varn

Our nation's best?

To quote addled Creepy Credit Card Joe himself,

"Give me a break."

So I checked out @WilliamCharles innuendo about a rape accusation. I found this article.

[vox.com]

First, even if this account were true, by the description, it would be assault, not rape. Second, as it supposedly occurred 26 years ago, surely the accuser has some other tangible written account of the incident that pre-dates this election year. Otherwise, yes, her credibility, along with the other Biden accusers, is strongly suspect. Given Biden's status as the presumptive nominee, it is notable that none of these accusations hold water, and are in no way comparable to the dozens of accounts that have been validated against Trump. It's another case of extreme false equivalence cooked up the the MAGgot Faux media cesspool. It's another phony hit job as was done to Al Franken, and attempted to be done to Robert Mueller. Shame on those that parrot it uncritically and cavalierly.

@racocn8 - if you want to split hairs about unwanted digital penetration of the vagina as something less than "rape," fine. If you want to look up stuff, look up all the comments in support of #MeToo, including those of Biden. Also, ask yourself, would Biden's behavior be somehow less troubling just because that of Trump (also with numerous credible allegations) is worse? And Biden is on camera with multiple instances pawing women and children. His defenders dismiss it as merely him being from an era where he is not quite clear on "personal space issues." Biden himself thought it was funny to declare that, after his conduct was called out, that he had permission to touch a little girl.

If you think Team Trump isn't going to run with this full throttle, your kidding yourself. The MSM pilloried Bernie for days over Elizabeth Warren's claim about Bernie saying a woman can't be president. But crickets on so many of Creepy Uncle Joe's shortcomings.You ever see the pic of him kissing his granddaughter on the lips? Just... weird. Simply bizarre.

He's undeniably damaged goods, and getting worse over time.

The DNC would rather lose with an addled neoliberal than win with a progressive. Their donor class is happy enough with Trump, and Pelosi has stated he's great for Dem fundraising.

FCK BDN.

Seriously.

@racocn8 Thank you for doing their homework… Sounds like Swiftboating to me.. These people are sick, the worst. Too gutless to go after real evil, they imitate it - or in this case - distribute it! Lowest of the low.

@Varn

I think above all it highlights the hypocrisy of the party, the MSM, and his defenders. Biden's inappropriate touching of women and children is already well documented, though casually dismissed by those same people. I've seen people make arguments that digital penetration of the vagina is not "rape" technically (seriously) and immediately take the fallback position of Trump being worse. These same people pilloried Bernie for days because of Warren's accusations, but crickets for Biden. The #MeToo people have run for the hills. Even Biden's own comment to "believe women" is swept under the rug.

I dislike Joe mostly for his political track record. Delaware became the mecca for credit card swindling banks because of Sen. Biden. If Bernie had Joe's cognitive decline, I'd still likely support him as better than all the rest. And the only thing Bernie's tried to impose on women is giving them free healthcare.

Bernie is great but he didn't have the cojones to fight these bullies.

He was way too nice to them as they bent him over. I wish a decent man like Sanders could win in this corrupt system but it just isn't possible. We need someone with his policies and the no holds barred political strategy of Trump.

Yeah... saying Joe is a good man and Joe can win was neither helpful nor accurate.

@WilliamCharles

Bernie beat Joe on every issue except electability because the corporate news has been hammering it into people's heads that Biden is electable and a "socialist" is not. Bernie needed to make the case that Biden doesn't have much of a chance against Trump but instead he reluctantly told the nation that Joe can win. That was the moment he lost. He dutiful started campaigning for Joe before the primary was even over. He accepted his fate rather than fighting.

@WilliamCharles, @RoboGraham Fortunately … you two appear to be a minority of two 😉 Skipped yur stuff -- it’s on to Victory in November!

@Varn

Good luck. You'll need it. I do hope you can pull it off.

@Varn - quite the low bar to hope the less rapey rapist gets in.
