 But seriously...who is this man's fanbase? Loud kids on Twitter? 

 

If I had a vote, I think I'd probably go for Warren, but Joe Biden seems like an honest, decent, good man. Sanders reminds me all the grifter politicians in South Africa that ran in every election when I was a kid who talked a lot but had no means of backing up anything they said. 

 

But besides that, Biden is obviously turning out the vote and has the passion and support from everyone he needs to hopefully take down Trump. I don't get the whining from Sanders supporters. I thought the most important thing was beating Trump but I guess for some of them it's not.

Pretty much, lol!

 

 

For most of Bernie Sanders' supporters, getting rid of Donald Trump isn't enough, because they have convinced themselves that every politician on either side of the proverbial aisle is a corrupt elitist whose hands are in the pockets of every Wall Street billionaire.  Ergo, electing Joe Biden (or any politician other than their designated savior) would be just more of the same kind of politics that puts the interests of the rich over everything else.

 

To them, only Bernie is "pure" enough to dismantle the system, as it exists, and bring about a revolution that would finally put the working class first.  At least, that's what they surmised when a few saw him in the upper room and felt the stigmata in his hands.

 

 

Translation: "Welp, that's a billion dollars I'll never get back!"

Well, there are white conservatives who pretend to be black and they infiltrate tdhe political threads in black forums like the coli and Lipstick Alley.  There are some who are black and they do resent older black voters for being part of the "establishment"  I will beat there will be numerous threads on both of these forums tomorrow talking about how low energy, old, and senile Biden is to them.  

 

Another forum I'm a member of is also giving to Gen X credit for Biden's Super Tuesday results.

"Speaking as a Gen Xer. We just want to friggin beat Trump and gain seats in the house and senate.

Gen X = always gonna be practical"

And this is bad, because...?

 

 

Who needs the Secret Service when you have...your wife?

 

But seriously.  Jill Biden was taking a TREMENDOUS risk to protect her husband like she did.  I hope she's okay.

It's a very toxic mix of con artists, anarchists, naive and easily manipulated kids, and trust fund types who have big podcasts and want to look badass. They didn't just want their fool's gold promises about student loans and health care, they wanted to crush their enemies into the dust. 

 

This is what one of the biggest Bernie supporters had to say before Iowa. I have had this in my head ever since because to me it is the face of his movement, and I wanted to savor it if a night like tonight happened:

 

 

My response to these people is:

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
