There is hard data that shows "Bernie Bros" are a myth

So given that the only choice at the next election will be between Trump and whoever the Democratic candidate is, you intend to either vote for Trump or abstain (which in a tight race is the equivalent of voting for Trump, only not a lot)?

Is that right? You think four more years of Trump would be better for you and for the country as a whole than Biden? Because that is what you have to choose between.

I cannot listen to one more whinging irredeemable asshole who wants to pout about Bernie.

If he had been the nominee he'd have gotten my vote. Too bad people like DT can't put the good of the nation first, over personal preferences.

You sound like a Bernie Bro.

I'm worried about Biden and the coronavirus. If Trump contracted the coronavirus, the White House staff could outfit a cockroach with a MAGA hat and only the FAKE NEWS would notice.

Where did you get that quote so I can fact-check it? It's a pretty serious allegation.

Nevertheless, the idea that the polls are being rigged is a conspiracy theory, so we wouldn't be able to take it seriously.

What a conundrum.

There is no ‘4% UN Intervention Threshold’*. So subs will not be providing to you any source. Par for the course with subs.

There’s a discussion on Reddit where subs c/p’d the image from, though, if you want to see the full context.


*the real conspiracy is why the UN won’t tell you about its exit poll variance threshold. OMG!!1! How did Biden supporters muzzle the UN?!?

I'm kind of disappointed in Sanders. He doesn't seem like a fighter. A fighter would be screaming of election fraud if the exit polls greatly differed from the posted results. A fighter would find out if this were true or not and have a team of observers at the polling stations doing the exit polls. A fighter would be screaming how government health care is better in crises like the one we have now. A fighter wouldn't be so chummy with his opponent. However, Sanders seems too interested in being a gentleman, someone who would get pushed around by Trump the bully.

Are Bernie Bro’s playing with raw exit polling data again? It’s like they learned nothing from 2016. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/no-hu ... s-primary/
