The poll should be Is Kari dumb enough to comment in the forums. Put me down for a yes. Also the republicans are a goddamned death cult.

Wait was Keith ever a republican?

[Keith]

Yes. You signed up with what you knew. The irony was this town of losers (in every sense of the word: love, family, money...) were Republicans.

I mean no shade, i grew up in a shithole family and i grew up and learned better. In part due to this awesome show and your awesome guests.

Why doesn't Chemda know that being a Bernie Bro is bad? Has she been on the Internet or know anyone that's been involved during the Democratic primaries that's not a Bernie supporter?

"Bernie Bros" are a made up concept. Anyone who fits the description of a "Bernie Bro" is few and far between actual Bernie supporters who believe in what he stands for, and I'd be willing to bet anyone online claiming to be a "Bernie Bro" while spewing hate is just trying to discredit what Bernie stands for. Think about all Bernie is for, do you really think that misogynistic assholes are in line with his beliefs? It was a tactic to discredit Bernie supporters and clearly it's still happening.

Yeah fuck those assholes, I am not saying everyone who supports Bernie is unequivocally great, I'm just saying that the specific concept of a "Bernie Bro" was made up by pro-Hillary people to discount Bernie and his supporters. There are assholes on every side of the spectrum, so I don't doubt that you know people like that. I just don't think that fits the Bernie Bro stereotype that sung was referring to.

I'm going to have a harder time voting for Biden than I did Hillary because now it's one creep/rapist against another - but I think in the situation we are in, the better of two evils is clear. But I'm still Team Bernie all day every day. He's the only politician I've ever seen who truly means and believes what he's saying. He's not here for the approval of the Democratic Party, he's here for the people and has been throughout his entire career.
