In reply to the discussion: This Bernie Supporter Demands All Sanders/Biden Supporters Be Nice To Others PERIOD [View all]Colo indy
(17 posts)Actually no my children aren't the ones who are doing it. Quite frankly they don't have the time to get online and argue. They have to much they do in real life. You know jobs, wives, kids. Chores, etc.
However they do watch the news and all they hear is how bernie bros this and bernie bros that. I am an independent have been my whole life. I took my children to caucus in iowa for obama. In Des Moines. They all loved it (honestly the little ones loved the food) but it was something that got them excited.
I had to move back to denver to take care of my parents after an accident, so I couldnt get them involved further with the process. (You know life).
However as adults their politics is definitely left. Of course they all approved of Obama. Not one voted for Hillary, some weren't old enough to vote, one wrote in Sanders and the rest voted Jill. What I an saying is attacking these voters on the news. Young people who aren't involved in these things, but you through them all into the same pot. Will lose you votes, not just now but for the next 50 years as well. Is that smart?
Wouldn't a better way is to say, some supporters may go a little to far on occasion. However we understand and still want you on our team. And before you say anything I have had Biden supporters attack me saying that i was a lazy "boy" who needed to get off my ass and get a job. No apology when this semi retired grandma posted a picture of me and my grandbaby.
I have warren and especially Clinton supports accuse me of some very vile things simply because I would not vote for her. Every candidate has supporters that may be too passionate. To lump them all in one category and scold them is not doing the party any good. Maybe the party should listen to them.
Sorry, this may have rambled, I just woke up and need to go make my coffee.
I hope you all have a great day.

primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
