Bernie Fan: “Where Did All These Clinton Voters Come From?”

Warning: Humor ahead!








Bernie Fan: “Where Did All These Clinton Voters I’ve Been Willfully Ignoring Come From?”





Dude, I’m so fucking irate about this rigged election right now, it’s not even funny. But even though rage is definitely my dominant emotion, a close second is confusion. You see, there’s a question that’s been haunting me each and every Tuesday, when we start seeing the results from non-caucuses come in:

Where did all these Clinton voters I’ve been willfully ignoring come from?

Seriously, is it just me, or is there something highly suspicious about the fact that suddenly millions of Californians turned out for $hillary, even after I’ve spent months fastidiously blocking them from my pint-sized consciousness? I can’t shake this eerie feeling that the Bernie Sanders 2016 subreddit isn’t an exact mirror of reality.

Everyone needs a little humor to get through this election cycle. This is from the comedy site, "Above Average: The Internets Last Hope for Comedy". Above Average spares no one; they have many articles that take all the candidates to task.


More humor here:

Enjoy!

No matter what, Hillary finds time for humor (And, for hot sauce!) Two election essentials. Hillary is funny which is one of the reasons I like her. None of the other candidates have her sense of humor.

There are volumes of her wonderful laugh.

"Oh yeah, let's create a stupid strawman and have him say stupid things!"

This joke is so bland and boring, words fail. I cannot believe that an editor approved this.

use it as a measure of enthusiasm.

Or we haven't seen the polls posted here on DU that "prove" Bernie is more popular than Hillary.

Or there weren't these on line polls that prove Bernie won the debates.

It's past time on making fun of Sanders and his supporters. Especially when the humor is at the same level as a pollack joke.

Just give it a break.

There are still on-going threads attacking and insulting Hillary, many pledging to continue fighting her and many still accusing her of corruption, evil, rigging California and stealing the election. All of this at a time when Hillary supporters are wanting to celebrate one of the biggest breakthroughs in US history but we cannot, even on a Democratic site.

I know some of the Hillary supporters could use a laugh in our own group.

and justifiably charges Bernie supporters who accuse Hillary of cheating with being willfully unaware that there are actually millions of people who are legitimately voting. It is being done in a humorous way which is frankly more than the people making those accusations deserve. It is a humorous take on an extremely pervasive problem for Hillary, the Democrats and her supporters. All have been dealing with that false accusation for months and are still dealing with it right now. That is the reason the article was just written and has massive shares. Rather than policing Hillary supporters who are using humor (in their own group) to defend themselves against Sander's supporters who accuse them of corruption, you might instead take Sanders and his supporters to task for making the accusations in the first place and defend the victims of their false attacks.

Because it is my hope that Clinton supporters are more amenable to reason.

Your take on the quality of the humor is different than mine. I also don't see it as defending yourself and others to post it here or to post it at all.

To quote you.

Why post bad taste cartoons when you could be taking people to task for doing the same about Clinton.

I have and the Bernie supporter did remove their picture of Hillary's face on Trumps head.

I don't expect less from Clinton supporters. That's because we've won. We've clinched the nomination and we as a group are in the drivers seat.

Sanders supporters cling to their reality against all other proof. We can post the truth, that she has not stolen the election, till our fingers bleed. We can post delegate math that states she won by every measure pledged delegates, popular vote, etc...but it does no good. They do not listen. The humor is a way to deal with the extreme frustration of hitting our heads against brick walls.
