Seriously?

By
Seriously? Bernie Sanders is extremely popular, not only in Vermont but across the globe. Does this guy really think he can unseat Sanders or is he a litmus test by the Democratic establishment to gauge whether or not the party is on the right track?

My opinion (I couldn't properly read the article, AOL has such a catastrophic design that ads and links to other articles cover the main article, at least on my tablet.): Some people are simply trying to discredit him, trying to take potential votes away from him. As to who those people are... Well, who said it was Bernie's fault that Trump won? Let's start there...

The democratic establishment is out in full force against Bernie again. They know they are about to be primaried into oblivion by progressives who agree with his stances.

I read the most ludicrous assessment by Harry Entin of fivethirtyeight that claimed Democrats shouldn't primary Joe Manchin in West Virginia. Manchin votes with the republicans 66% of the time! This is a Democrat who actively votes WITH Trump/GOP majority of the time.

His reasoning was that Trump won the general in that state by 44 points, so more conservative Democrats stand the best chance. BULLSHIT. This is why:

Trump won his primary in WV by almost 80 points. That shows that establishment republicans are overwhelmingly disliked there. Bernie won the Democratic primary by 16.5 points, which shows establishment democrats (figureheaded by Hillary) are also enormously unpopular. Manchin is a Hillary democrat.

Between the top two republicans in the primary (Trump and Cruz), there were 175k votes cast.

Between the top two Democrats there were 230k votes cast.

Trump won the general against HILLARY. The clear message is that the people of WV will do anything to avoid an establishment candidate, especially an establishment Dem.

And Entin thinks the establishment Dem is the answer?? Give me a fucken break. Watch Manchin lose the primary and WV become an overwhelming blue state with a progressive populist.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
