7. It's just an excuse, sometimes to disrupt, sometimes for self-pity.

Frankly, it always sounds a bit childish to me, like a small child throwing a tantrum. If I don't get my way, I'm going to take my toys and go home and pout. Not sure what that's supposed to accomplish other than making the poster look childish.

It's also a go-to response when someone doesn't have a valid one, along with the knee-jerk "Bernie hater" insult. Again, it just sounds childish. I halfway except the next response to be "you're not my mom!"

If people are so thin-skinned that some mild criticism of their candidate might lead them not to vote against Trump in November, they really need to grow up. It's grown well beyond tiresome after five years of it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
