welp! After cultivating a Facebook friends list over the last 12 years or so...

... I've been using the 'unfriend' feature quite liberally lately. All the young know-it-all "progressives" (who, hysterically, list that they work for the State Party because they've stuffed envelopes for one candidate or another), still following Sanders and pushing every negative angle on Biden - purge. Gone. And good riddance.

I don't mind kids being on my lawn, just not stupid ones.

Calling him terrible things like accusing him of rape and then saying he doesn't want to vote for anyone. What a stupid little fuck.

BS lost so overwhelmingly to Joe Biden?

Sanders campaign was SHOCKED when field narrowed, because they really thought 30% would win it

My asshole tolerance is at an all time low now.

I blocked a cousin and her husband after they used a vile sexist slur to refer to the Speaker of the House after she stood up to fuck face and his allies in the Senate. Another one was insisting he's not pro-Sanders but is pushing every inane conspiracy theory about Biden - he's gone too now.

And I've put a lot of people on snooze for now. Among them people who complained that they didn't get a memo if I so much as got up out of my bed to move my bowels without their permission.

I left when it became clear that they were willing to do so little after Russia meddled in the 2016 election.

there are a lot of stupid people on facebook! It may be a big job blocking all of the stupid ones!

their posts began to sound more right wing than Democratic.
In the past 2 days, it was anti-Hillary, anti-Bill Clinton, anti-Biden. It had never been like that before.
Crazy.
I noticed the likes for each post dropped from 300's, to 10 or so. So, it wasn't just me.

It is sad to me that these kids are so immature that they say they won't vote Democratic because their candidate didn't win.

The stakes are just too high not to vote straight blue.

conservative by nature and just haven't realized/accepted that yet. Sanders is the most available alternative for those whose hackles are raised by Democrats but just can't stick Trump.
