    Sure it does if you are more interested in supporting the winner as opposed to voting for the candidate that actually fits your positions.

    So Barr has agreed to testify in front of the
    HJC. In seven weeks.

    And then he’ll refuse to show up. And then this will play out in court

    I would think by now the Dems in the house would realize the norms have been thrown out the window already.

    The woke left may be seeing Obama's hand in the party support of Biden.

    Some anti Obama people are coming out, i do wonder who hates Obama more, centrist Republicans or Berniebros.

    The woke left sees conspiracies within conspiracies. Scratch a woke lefty hard enough and the LaRouche foundation appears. "Global Goldman Sachs Trilateral Commission Vampire Squid Jewish blah blah blah."

    Can we stop referring to Berniebros as "woke?" Woke suggests they are socially progressive and hyper-aware of issues that affect women and minorities. From what I've seen of Berniebros (the obnoxious online variety, obviously not everyone who supports Sanders), they're quite happy to make rape jokes, mock women based on their appearance, insultingly mimic "gay" mannerisms, etc. They aren't "woke" at all - they're just like teenage boys have always been - ******** the establishment, stick it to the man, don't be a sheep, etc. etc. etc.

    Trouble is-- that's the obvious thing Russian bots who want you to think they are Bernie's supporters would, and probably do do.

    Half the idea is not to put extra peer pressure on to get support for favored candidates/policies, but to make people think some candidate/policy is represented only by deplorables...

    Conflict is the prime objective; Trump is primarily a way to achieve that, and Bernie will do just as well if his impact can be crafted the same way.

    Not all people on the net these days are actually people; some are more like plot devices from an old episode of "Dragnet."

    Except I'm quite sure the poster here on BS making "haha Bernie buttf*cked the DNC like it's prison" cracks isn't from Russia. The Bernie supporters mocking Buttigeig and calling him "honey" after he dropped out were American. The Bernie staffer mocking Warren's appearance on his private social media is also not Russian. Berniebros don't need Russia's help to appear "deplorable" - they're pretty good at it on their own.

    (I am 100% voting Bernie in November if he wins the primary, regardless of how f*cking annoying a certain segment of his supporters are. And if Warren has dropped out before the Kansas primary rolls around, I'm voting Bernie over Biden or Bloomberg.)

    Boy, I'm a lot less sure of the one you were responding to, the proximate cause of this sequence... but that's part of what's insidious about the technique-- different readers will have different takes on the legitimacy of the same posts...

    So I guess the answer is for everyone to hate everyone else, regardless of party?

    No thanks.

    But the real question is: Do the Russians love their children (and the children of centrists and conservatives all over America), too?

    I'm sure I'm not alone, but I would gladly take another 4 or 8 years of a presidency like Obama's. His biggest fault (besides being Black and wearing a tan suit once) was that he actually tried to work in good faith with those scumbags across the aisle, who had no interest in giving him even one inch.

    And no, Bernie Bros are nothing more than Trumpanzees with a different ideology. They are not even on the same planet as "woke."

    They are who they are...

    But hey, we got “concessions” “small wins” and all that [emoji90]

    How’s that story about the Skorpion and the Toad go?

    We will still vote for them....because they are “effective”

    At this time all schools are closed. At other times one can close the schools down with just a phone call.

    Ergo....all kids are home. :whistling:
