We'll get the suburban moms, who actually, you know, do vote. Last time they went for Orange Foolious. This time, they won't vote for him.

When your crybaby participation trophy winners show up, then we'll listen to them. Until then, they're fakers and posers who have warped priorities. We're not going to coddle them. Funny, when I was the age of these pampered shits, I was voting AND working on campaigns, not expected to be handed an election win with zero fucking effort.

When you're a true liberal, you don't sit on your whiny ass because you don't get your way. You pull up your big girl/boy pants, and you get your ass to the voting booth to vote for who will do the most for all citizens, especially the most vulnerable. When you're an ADULT, you'll crawl over broken glass for the privilege.

I voted in every election from the time I was of age. There was never any talk about the youth vote. I didn't have to be inspired to vote any more than I had to be inspired to go to school/work. The Founders created a system where "We the People" govern through our elected representatives. Why sneer at that as if it were nothing?

Or go into the booth to hold their hand and coddle them until they pulled the lever for a D, like they apparently expect of us.

They choose not to vote.

They don't seem to get that politics doesn't hand out participation trophies. You win or you go home. That's how it works.

He is NOT a Democrat! I got a post removed the other day on here for calling Bernie out. Bernie is just in this to hurt this election whether to hurt the Democratic Party and to help tRump or not our country doesn’t need this right now. We have way bigger problems then dragging this Primary out. Especially when Bernie is so far behind!!

This is a time of unity to unite together to defeat the tRump administration. Bernie, concede and get your supports behind Joe Biden NOW!
