Well, we all know Sanders supporters are childish, spiteful, and petty. So enough of their hateful rhetoric; let’s hear from the adults. This sampling is composed of direct quotes from today’s comment sections.
Wait, I’m sorry; I meant section. One. One comment section from one diary. Get ready to feel the love.
(Note: a dash indicates a separate comment. “reply” in parentheses is a reply to the comment directly above it.)
Theme One: Everyone Can Read Bernie Sanders’ Mind.
— He believes his own bullshit.
— Sanders can never be for something. He’s only against things.
— The sad thing is he doesn’t recognize how hypocritical he is and how much he has already compromised his so-called values.
— He can’t deal with the fact that he lost TO A WOMAN.
— He has nothing in the way of leadership. It’s all about him or nothing.
— Votes mean nothing to Sanders.
— Its very black and white thinking. No nuance at all, but if he cannot get his way, then the system should be destroyed entirely. Not logic, just a tantrum.
— Shorter Bernie: “A monarchy would be fine here as long as it’s me who’s King”
(reply) — Bush said the same thing about a dictatorship. I think we’re dealing with the same level of intelligence with both of them.
Theme Two: His Supporters Are Gullible Idiots, And He Cynically Takes Advantage Of Them.
— He’s just a manipulator who is taking advantage the ignorant masses.
— So in other words, Bernie wants to continue to fleece the rubes.
(reply) — How do his supporters not see they’re being played for suckers?
(reply) — $27 is a fair price for other bernie supporters to recognize your moral superiority.
Theme Three: He’s Nader 2.0, And He <3s Republicans.
— Last night Sanders' rally was across the street from my apartment in Santa Monica. I didn't go. For the same reason I wouldn't cross the street to see Ralph Nader.
— Just like Nader in 2000 he wants the republicans to win and the country destroyed.
— I’d think his behavior was worthy of pity, if it weren’t so actively helping Donald Trump.
— The right-wing is just using sanders as their useful idiot.
— The real question is will Sanders do anything to STOP Trump from becoming President?
— In the end Bernie is just another politician will to do anything to win, no matter the cost to the party or the cause he claims to champion.
— He is being an ego-manic and insufferably self-important at a time when we have to run against a truly dangerous candidate in November.
— He knows, and they know that this won’t happen but he’s like a stubborn brat that even after you tell them they can’t have or do something they still want to do it or have it.
Theme Four: He’s Crazy! And Old! Also, Fuck Senior Citizens And The Mentally Ill! We Can Use Their Stigmas To Tar And Feather A Political Rival!
— The stuff thats coming from Sanders is really bizarre. What the hell is going in?
(reply) — Garbage in, garbage out.
— He’s tired, cranky and feels aggrieved.
— Bernie sounds nuts at this point.
— We can’t keep being distracted by a defeated angry old kook when there’s another angry old kook yet to be beaten.
— Can’t keep entertaining this nutcase.
— Poor thing! He's lost it.
— I am sorry to say this, but he is starting to sound unhinged.
— Crazy old man that got a glimpse of power and now he can’t let it go.
— He’s a red faced, finger wagging, shouty, pouty old fart. What a doofus.
— I am deeply and truly concerned about his overstay in his self-imposed irrational bubble.
— Sanders is way out of touch with reality.
— He keeps getting more unglued.
— I’m so sick of this ego-maniacal, delusional, mean-spirited old fart, I can’t stand it.
Theme Six: Bernie Sanders Is A Terrible Human Being.
— His bitterness and his selfishness might destroy his so called movement.
— Bernie is terrible at logic. Embarrassing.
— He’s such a joke of a leader.
— I view him as a clown at this point. A tragically sad clown.
— This guy is a fraud.
— I think he’s dangerous.
— Yeah, he’s like the football player whose team is losing by forty points with five minutes left who tries to take out the knees of the opposing team’s star QB.
— The wanna-be emperor has no clothes, peeps.
Theme Seven: Random Hate.
— Bernie Sanders will just go down in history as this year’s second most sore loser.
— I’ll remember him as an asshole, pure and simple.
— Sad fact is, that despite having many embraceable political ideas, he’s really just basically an asshole.
— I never thought I would say this, but Bernie Sanders is human garbage. He literally disgusts me.
Theme Eight: We’re The Mature Ones, You Stupidhead Buttfaces.
— And why don’t you ‘Bernie or busts’ try to act a little mature instead of the ‘I’m taking my ball and going home those women are just mean and they don’t play fair’.
— When Senator Sanders starts talking rational again than these diaries won’t be written.
— If you’re offended, go slink off into a corner and cry.
