one man was pointing his finger about a millimeter away from my nose. Over and over again he pointed and chanted, “Shame on you!” He clearly wanted to have a physical altercation, but I didn't want one of those officers coming to arrest me so I chanted too. I silently said the ubiquitous corporate mantra, “Keep Calm and Carry On.” It worked.
Walking a few more steps I was confronted by a very tall young man dressed in a native American costume and his face was painted red. He sported a red feathered headdress. He was shirtless and only had a loin cloth covering his genitals, I could see his brown pubic hair.
I have zero problem with the vast majority of Sanders supporters. I voted for the guy, though I believe both candidates have their strengths and weaknesses. But this sort of nonsense is why I tend to rant about the Bernouts- these people are literally parroting Donald Trump insults. Killary? Vagina card? Really people? Have you no shame? There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Clinton without having to sound like an unhinged knuckle dragging redstate teatard.
I voted for Bernie too– people must feel entitled (ow, my student debt!!)–you know, everyone's in debt. "Special Place in Hell" I really detest, because I thought I had a right to choose everything, being a modern gal now (under the impression it included abortions AND votes!)
My guy was Paul Tsongas (!) the first time I could vote (cacophony of laughter, but whatever). I actually didn't like Bill Clinton at all, but goddamn I voted for him. Voted for Gore, although Tipper really annoyed me in the '80's. Hillary doesn't irritate me or anything, I just like Bernie's unwavering integrity and commitment better.
But you know, sometimes you gotta take one for the team, bitches.
What glasspusher said FFS…
Hope to. But do admit I have on my Wonket brand illegal Bernie for the Future tee.
/ FWIW – [ Bernie interviewed by Rachel Maddow about that protest. ]

Absolutely.
