If only he'd be nice to them, they'd just all jump on the bandwagon.

What a load on nonsense that is.

know everything and are willing to smear and demean Joe Biden and all those who vote for him with their stupid, idiotic "jokes".

"sleepy joe"? Where'd they pick up that from?

They don't deserve anything from Joe Biden.

He acts like a normal human being and is already presidential. These trolls wouldn't understand.

and there are many of them like that that are not Russian bots. There is only so much you can blame on Russian bots.

thus making it a difference without a distinction.

being stupid.

let's see how many of those young beach goers crowding together in Florida come down with the virus.

So you are right on the money. We've made our mistakes and learned from them.

...the "youngs" just don't show up anyway.

wise sagacious olds who want Joe Biden to be our Next President of the United States of America!

But too sad for those like BStructurals.. Biden has a huge coalition.. across the board. They don't even know that.. too busy making "jokes".

Mahalo, George!

I agree, it is disgusting to cheer the death of millions of elders for political reasons.

She apparently missed the tone deaf update today from Dump.

Dr. Brix I think it was, said they are very concerned that there is a large number of young ones becoming critically ill as well. I posted about a 29 year old healthcare professional that died. Her lungs after an x-ray showed her lower lungs looking like crushed glass. This is what the virus does. A family member works in ICU. They got their first virus patient 47 years old, intubated, critical.

Structuals is a very ugly person rooting for people to die.

is incredibly toxic. They are mostly trolls, grifters, and likely foreign agents. The problem is that there is a large groups of Sanders supporters on twitter who are influenced heavily by them. Unfortunately some of the very people on Sanders Campaign staff are included in the first group.

this one who thinks it's a "..super hilarious joke.." has 39.7k followers.. so there's more than a few of them out there.

for pointing that out, Capt!

They didn't get their pony so they are lashing out at Biden and his supporters.

They are obviously not Democrats - they are external anarchists probably funded by Russia.

The sad part is that even many sane Sanders' supporters are contaminated by this type of rhetoric. You will never see a single tweet from a genuine Sanders supporter condemning and disavowing such disgusting trash.

The strongest Dem demographic is voters under 35. The strongest Repub group (who also vote in the highest numbers) are over 65.
So natural attrition, with older people dying and young people getting to voting age, is a strong trend running against the GOP.
The tweet not only shows how horrible that person is, but also demonstrates his immense stupidity.

take it more serious instead of some twisted badge of honor?

wallowing in the sludge.

Gracias, LA:candle

and it reveals who they are. It isn't just the anger of the moment talking, they seriously derive fun out of people dying and Trump winning. It's the same kind of sadism you find in Trumpers. Just terrible people who cannot accept losing.
To a degree, BS got dragged down by the amount of terrible followers he has. They behaved bad before SC and they behaved even worse when things went downhill. Is it any wonder that BS barely gained any support after all the other candidates dropped out?

They spend their lives on Twitter

It's just worse now that they're getting it they've Lost.

They thought they really had it when BS was doing so well in the first 3 states.. 2 of them caucus.

Biden and his supporters always said wait until South Carolina and Super Tuesday.. but who knew it was turn out this well.. right away.

It took a lot of Unity.. people coming together for the country.. not their own personal ambitions. Hallelujah!

are two sides of the same Putin-backed coin, that infests/dominates social media and influences the minds of young people and others.

This is deplorable, Cha.

Link to tweet

also, she is trolling via sarcasm

@jamie_elizabeth <<< her actual Twitter username

and then, of course, I gave you here real life name, Jamie Peck

Link to tweet

She seems offensive, yet was offended herself.

I'm not on Twitter, so I didn't know her background. Thanks for posting.

out on your stupid "gallows humor" is calling you out on your stupid idiotic gallows humor. End of story.

Thanks for that, Celerity.

as the virus continues to spread and really starts to kill, especially the older cohorts. The Boomers and above are going to start to massively lash out at Gen X, the Xennials (Carter babies, ie. 1977-80 born) and especially the Millennials, the Zennials/Zillennials (my micro gen, 1992-98 born) and Gen Z'ers as their 'killers' and also as threats that need 'to be dealt with'.

Those attacked gens in turn will return the fire and the shit will truly start to hit the fan. I have already started to see this happen to a certain extent in a number of different arenas. The shit-stirring MSM is already starting to play that angle.

I feel this generational war we are living is dumb as fuck. We can learn so much from each other!

out of 555 responders here

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213017831

only 3 of us are under 25

and two of them barely post, especially the one who joined when they were 14 in 2014

11 total are under 36yo (less than 2%)

75% are 56yo or older

so there is pretty much only one-way traffic in terms of younger peoples' points of view

as in we are talked about, but not talked with



I have tried to get some of my age cohort to join and contribute, but as most are UK and other EU (I do know a lot of Americans, but obviously not as many as UK/EU, as I am London raised and live in Sweden now) they have shown a paucity of interest

the Americans have been overall not receptive of the board after they lurked for a bit

One did join back last summer and got swarmed and accused of being a bot within 15 posts, as he likes Michael Harriot and got into it with some on here about a Root article. He is actually (well was) a Kamala Harris supporter who I knew in real life when I was living in Los Angeles for a couple years, and is so not a troll type, he is just very afro-centric (he is mixed race part black like me) and outspoken, so rubbed some the wrong way I suppose. He stopped logging and told me to never recco a political chatboard again, lolololol.

and not more Russian trollery.

on the Sam Sedar show and has 39.7k followers.. so not.

he condemns her and this sentiment immediately.

I won't live long enough to see creatures like Big grow old and be on the receiving end of vileness like his. However, it would be pleasant to hear him whine about it.

And I'm not sure if you saw Trump today, the shit, when he was asked if rich people would have better access to the COVID-19 tests, and he said that if they do, "That's life."

That's life.

You know, after what he has done to those poor immigrant children and to the American people, Trump DESERVES life.

In prison.

asshole.. he's not a president.. he's an impeached monster on limited time.

Thanks for that, PfO.

Stupid is as st... oh, why bother?! Whatever.

isn't radical enough. They are more into the chaos than the cause. It's like a drug.

criticize her ageism BS, and suddenly you're anti-Semitic ?

coalition across the board. That's why Joe Biden Won and BS Lost.. he only has 35%.

Now the planet is dying and the virus is its Antibody defense.. Trumps poison dumping will help out to rid the cancer that is humans. The young’s, gonna leave young, never reaching old. I taught pathology in our forests for 30 years, in both plants and animals. In those 30 years I have seen many, many species wiped out by pathogens, plants and animals. Overpopulation and environmental corrections. Supposedly, God loves ALL his creations. He never swooped in and saved any of those. And none of those species were as big of asses and destructive as humans. Bug Bye young’s.

No - it’s cold, it’s cruel, and it’s wrong. An article I read today said 40% of those hospitalized were age 20-40. The notion of youth immunity is wrong. In some cases dead wrong.

Thank you for that.

I surely saw myself in that category, at least in regards to social issues/policies and I was proud about it. Now that label got stolen and the loudest members of that group seem to be the most unpragmatic and intolerant assholes.

I don’t see this as progressive - more like spoiled.

a lot of older generations think they're somehow built more resilient than younger generations. So I guess we'll see.

well as cruel. Biden has a broad coalition and it's not only the old folks who are vulnerable.. it's everyone.

50% of the patients on respirators are under 50.

of them

I had read Sunday that one of the Countries with the most cases was Italy with almost 25,000.. I was telling that to some friends and they had no idea... one friend said she heard they had "60".

I just googled and this came up..

35,713 Cases and 2,978 Deaths …

This is hopeful, though..

Recovered:
4,025

Thank you, NCProgressive

I heard a 103-year old woman in China got it and fully recovered. We gotta find out what her diet is!

Can only imagine how many are dying in North Korea we're not hearing about.

but it looks like it was Iran instead...

https://www.france24.com/en/20200318-103-year-old-iran-woman-survives-coronavirus-report

Looks like a 91-year old man also survived.

From the looks of things the federal government is about to resort to some serious-ass socialism on steroids. They're fueling up Bernanke's helicopters as I type to drop money all over the country in the next coupla weeks.

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/ben-bernanke/2016/04/11/what-tools-does-the-fed-have-left-part-3-helicopter-money/

I'd say more but I gotta go finish working on my big net for when the cash chopper flies over our house soon.

Looks like Bernie's Revolution will get here before he drops outta the race or wins another state, whichever comes first.

PS I wonder if Munchkin or Krudlow had the balls to tell Trump today that the market dipped below where it was when Obama left office? I'll bet that put a real big knot in his knickers if they did! Woulda paid one of the $1000 bills I'm gonna catch falling to the ground to have seen that.

It's all beyond disgusting.

Someone right here on DU said they'd be grateful if conservatives got infected and died. I called it out as a disgusting comment and was told that it wasn't disgusting at all.

I also posited that if someone said the same about progressives people here would be outraged. I think I was right on both counts.

Just two. McConnell and Trump.

Conservatives have their place in our society. I don't hate most of them. I hate racism, but sometimes a racist is just misguided. I hate sexism, but sometimes a sexist is just ignorant. I hate xenophobia, but again, it's usually ignorance, and poor upbringing.

MAGAts are, by and large, gullible.

This is not a hydra situation. If we lose Trump, we do not get 6 mini-Trumps in his place. Chopping off the head is the kindest thing that could be done for our nation. I would bet anything that Pence could do a better job for the 6 months until the election.

of them not taking precautions and thus more likely to be affected.

As I said in my post above, someone here on DU said they'd be grateful if the virus sickened or killed a bunch of conservatives. That's a disgusting thing to say. Not one person on the thread except me called that person out... though someone else did defend them.

Evidently some people think it's okay to wish conservatives dead. But of course, if conservatives wish for progressives to get sick and die, they're awful, horrible people. Nothing hypocritical about that at all...

wouldn't go in that direction at all.

Our desires, wishes and hopes are without any consequence at all... unless we act on them. And wishes without consequence are merely thought.

So unless someone acts on them in this instance, I really see little more than an opportunity for self-righteous indulgence at the expense of others.

"Nothing sanctimonious about that at all..."

In any case, I never said I believed for a moment that someone saying that had any effect on reality. I did however opine that saying that is disgusting. So maybe respond to what I actually said, rather than what you thought I said, hm?

that is the same and some people are okay with it.

See when we do it, it is just an expression of frustration joke, not a serious-not-serious joke. See the difference?

I'm angry as heck at Cult45ers, Stein voters and some of those extremist like this nasty person but I certainly would NOT wish them to die in the horrible way that this virus causes death.

stealing one of 45*'s playground insults to use against a Democrat and wishing for his voters to die, aren't "jokes" supposed to be...funny?

".. playground insults.. ".. unfortunately they do think it's funny.

StaySafe!

and I suspect that the elements of the hard left that wishes harm on the elderly also wishes it on black and PoC voters.

who thinks "if communism had won we'd all be eating brunch now".

I checked The Russia Tweets to see if she worked for Putin's IRA because it's almost impossible to tell if input like this is Russian in origin or just some young American duped by Vlad's bullshit propaganda.

?v=1559335801

take care of it.

StaySafe!

...if they use Trump’s nicknames to describe Democratic candidates. Exactly which side are they on?

Or are there exceptions?
