Another day, another Hillbot on full ignore. Sigh...

These people are getting so desperate! They are losing their minds! Their cognitive dissonance is starting to crumble around them, and they are PISSED!!

1. Wait until the primaries start

and Bernie starts winning stated. You think that they are pissed now? Just wait!

2. It's not going to be pleasant.

3. I'm buying LOTS of popcorn

Because they are going to be pitifully stupid about things.

6. "GOING to be"?!??!???

4. It's really a shame to see.

A lot of these children would be happier on Usenet after Mom and Dad have gone to bed.

5. I'm thinking that I may need a Bookmark directly into the Bernie Group and skip the front page.

Go Bernie!

7. Ah, the daily dilemma: put 'em on Ignore, or keep 'em around for the comedy gold?

More and more, I'm opting for the Ignore list. The hardest thing for me is seeing people I thought should be banned as newbies, but MIRT couldn't reach consensus because one person wanted to give them the benefit of a doubt. Welp.

8. Their posts remind me more and more of the gungeon, every day....

...in terms of the subject-changing, circular logic, discredit-the-messenger meta arguing (rather than ever responding to OPs, etc...)

It's more sad, than anything else...

9. The real work

Is to not take the bait and instead use your time to educate as many as possible about democratic socialism and what that really means. Then identify those who are truly undecided and engage in an intelligent conversation.

Typically these kinds of conversations are very rare on forums and the Internet in general and it becomes a time suck. Time is our enemy, don't let the trolls waste it. Simply stay focused and tell the real story about Sen Sanders.

Find that one or more thing that really gets some bodies blood boiling, student debt, the banisters, women's rights, BLM, LGBT issues... Pick your poison, BUT the moment you believe they have become unsayable, MOVE ON and find that next voter.

10. Sorry guys, this is a meta thread

and does not meet our Group's TOS.

I am locking it now.

PS - I am not dismissing your frustration. I feel it very often here as well.
