Not sure how bad the Bernie group is, the one time I posted for a Bernie guy to tone down I didn't get blocked, and in the post I got blocked on one person mentioned they may go Puma as their fall back (I didn't even hear about them in 2008).

I am sure the recent race stuff would have put them over the edge, my father helped the Black Panthers a little when he was younger and got investigated by the FBI for it...so I am sure he would be upset knowing the some of the people we put in to office help damage the Black community. I know they did not have a problem with drugs (thought they should be legal) and hated the way our black communities were treated by the laws. But the whole Bernie Bro calling supporters racist, which would include me started wearing on them a bunch. We are from the south and know our voice does not count, they know when people were saying the south is electing our president they were talking about areas that sadly almost never get a voice in the general elections (until the day the go to popular votes). They started seeing the news favoring one party, saw Bill blocking the voters (I may have passed them that story under the email title "Bills being a bad boy&quot . Not sure how my father voted, but my mother and most of her liberal ex hippie hillbilly friends voted for Hillary for two reasons, they wanted a woman (which it is long long long past due) and they were afraid Bernie would lose (I don't know about in Texas, but in Arkansas Democrats are very timid voters for president...they are afraid to do anything that may be called remotely liberal because they will get shot down by the majority conservative population). I think she was realizing that all the polls had been proving that Bernie could beat Trump, and the news was obfuscating it. Then Kos posted that article on the "Social Democrat" that was ranting against Bernie and voting for Hillary. She got it from another site some how, Salon or Stones, that basically called it out on the merits. The Kos article left such a bad feeling in her mouth since it seemed beyond fake (Like a very straight laced cop under cover asking kids where to get the marijuana grass at) that she felt there was too much deception from the HRC camp to be forgiven. I am sure seeing Bill having his discussion with the BLM people is going to be very unpleasant for them. I watched it and I thought he was doing amazing until the end where he doubled down on his views. Bill just needs to admit he was played by the system like so many others. For f@cks sake we have stories about the cops that systematically planted durgs on kids because they were black for 20 some f@cking years. That was starting in 1996, Bill was still president then, argh that upsets me...
