#hewasthreatened
Typical Dialogue between between me (a #DemExiter) and any #stillsanders loyalist
BS Fan: He was threatened!
Me: What Revolutionary ISN’T?
BS Fan: He’s a man of his word!
Me: Kept it to the DNC, not to US!
BS Fan: He’s a Master Chess Player!
Me: Ok, when does he start to WIN?
BS Fan: He’s been fighting for us his whole career!
Me: Voting for every military budget but one since the 90s is NOT “fighting for me!”
BS Fan: What do you know? Bernie’s a pacifist!
Me: He said “Drones have done some good things”, and he wouldn’t end the drone program. Approved illegal No Fly Zone over Syria. Pushing the Russia lie.
BS Fan: Well, why don’t YOU run, then?
Me: Beside the point. I’m not saying I’M the one for that job, just saying he’s not my pick!
BS Fan: Well, who’s better then? Huh? Tell me THAT!
Me: It’s 2018, nobody has even declared yet. And besides, just because nobody has stepped up yet, doesn’t make Bernie an acceptable alternative.
BS Fan: Bernie is going to change the Democratic Party “from the inside”.
Me:
1) Hard to do, considering even he doesn’t want to join the Democratic Party.
2) How often has that ever happened?
BS Fan: Well, you’re just a Russian troll! And you are rude, and nasty and MEAN!
Me: Facts can be painful, I know.
BS Fan: You are So RUDE! Good BYE!
[Unfriend!]
Me: Sigh. Lost another one.
