In reply to the discussion: Question for Bernie Sanders supporters - are Hillary's supporters converting you? [View all]TheKentuckian
(25,034 posts)swiftboating, fan like, dismissive, love leading from behind while shitting on those they end up championing until that millisecond they "evolve", and generally seem like the other side of the aisle ideologically and worldview wise - essentially Reaganites without the southern strategy, and are absolutely suckers for failed policy and make weak tea excuses for the failures by absurdly blaming liberals who have been completely shut out of decesion making for decades or failing that the TeaPubliKlans they had "met in the middle" or outright appropriated to fashion said fucked up policy.
I find them even less appealing than their phony, shifty, regularly wrongheaded, corporate aligned, always needing forgiveness, fake evolving, finger in the air not as to be responsive but rather on how to tune the same garbage policies that slice the throat of the people and the world we inhabit, "where else do you have to go, suckers?", "embrace the suck", "eat your peas", interventionist, and only can be framed as moderate much less liberal because of the rise of the radical regressives, conservative pols they are in love with though they reflect each other.
I seriously feel like I'm trying to carry on a conversation with Rahm Emmanuel or Lanny Davis and on occasion Dick Morris all too often with a lot of these folks and I never feel the general welfare of the country and it's people are of any particular significance unless it can be used as a sales hook to fatten somebody's bottom line.
