(1,076 posts)Stop acting like theyre not only more-liberal-than-thou, but the only true liberalswhile being willing to throw women minorities, LGBTs, workers, the poor, the elderly, the sick, the environment and more under the bus in the name of their ideological purity;
Stop hurling the ridiculous slander of corporate or establishment or centrist Democrat at anyone and everyone who dares to criticize or disagree with their Dear Leader;
Who tell the winning side in this primary that we have to cater to their losing candidate and his self-serving preachments ideas that the voters most likely to consider them (you know, primary voters) dont even want, and yet these same whiners think their ideas will win with a far less receptive audience in the general election, when they wont be;
When they say our candidate has to pamper, coddle and cater to a demographics that cant even bother to show up to vote for their guy in the here and now, when they should be the most motivated to get him to the next level, never mind doing it in November, while known voters are ripe for the taking (suburban soccer moms)voters who do NOT have the same enthusiasm for your candidates stale ideas;
When you stop making outrageous claims about conspiracies and rigged votes and who know what other idiotic imagined phantasms that you can conjure up, rather than facing the reality that DEMOCRATIC VOTERSLIBERALSrejected your candidate and his ideas, and when you stop blaming the DNC, or the establishment, or the corporate Dems or the Illuminati or whoever the fuck your bogeyman of choice is rather than how VOTERS just werent into your candidate;
Then maybe people would be less critical and on edge about the destructiveness and selfishness of the candidate who is not only losing the nomination but also demonstrated zero effort to play well with others in support of the Democratic Party and its candidates, or, well, anyone in his entire DC career.
Ive seen little in the way of criticizing the supporters other than legitimate complaints about their outright and frequent rudeness and occasional dishonesty about and toward other candidates and their supporters. Outside of that, much like deplorables, bernbots see any criticism of their Dear Leader as attacks on him and on themselves.
And you know what? I dont appreciate threats from a MINORITY of voters who throw childish tantrums that threaten to take their toys and go home if they cant get what they want, never mind what anyone else wants and needs. Youve had your chance to persuade voters about your ideas of how to get where the Democratic needs to go and how. Those voters have made it clear they have other ideas about how to get there.
Rather than whining or throwing temper tantrums about it, grow up, pull up your big kid pants, and MOVE ON to support the candidate we have.
Plenty of us didnt get our first choice, but we did the adult thing of getting the fuck over it to support the only candidate left. We did it not because were stupid or centrist or not liberal enough, but because we know hes a good man with his head and heart in the right place, so we can trust him to do more good for the people of this countryALL of themthan the treasonous, bigoted slimeball of a psychopath in office now. We do it because not voting for Biden or voting from some money-grubbing 3rd party kook will only get us four more years of the most irredeemable and evil psychopath ever vomited onto humanity.
We understand whats really at stake here. Its time for BS, the bomb-thrower lunatics in his own staff and those like them who are among his supporters to grow the fuck up and face that reality.
Maybe in another election we could blow them off, but not this time. Not when any chance of having decency and serving the greater good in this country is at stake. If the Democrat does not win this year, this country is DONE.
We who have gotten behind Biden for this, even when he wasnt our first choice understand that the time for infighting is OVER. We put on our big kid pants and accept him as the nominee. Its time for the deluded BS and his most reprehensible staff and supporters to do the same. If you dont, then you cant complain when real liberals criticize you and your candidate for caring more about your egos than about the country.
Or when we point out your hypocrisy for claiming to care oh-so-much-more than the rest of us about the vulnerable and oppressed, but how your not voting or throwing away your vote for mere spite insures the election of the candidate most likely to harm those very people you claim to care about gets elected.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
