Sam Bee On The Sanders Kerfuffle

I have largely stayed out of the whole Sanders debacle, largely because I think it will be old news in a month or two when Sanders concedes and throw the full weight of his support behind Hillary Clinton (or at least, against Donald Trump).

That said, his supporters are really acting like dicks and yes, I think the fish is rotting from the head.  The term “sore loser” comes to mind.  Many (certainly not all, but many) of Sanders’ supporters openly take the position that anyone who supports Hillary Clinton is either an idiot or an innocent waif duped by the establishment machine or a shill merely repeating talking points.

The truth is that many of the Bernie supporters are themselves being duped by their own naivete about how to bring about change (not to mention parroting talking points that don’t even make sense).

There are rules to a democracy.  They may be bad ones, and they may need to be changed, but you just can’t ignore them and then complain the game is rigged.

Sam?  Explain it….

It’s very sad, but there is a section of the left that is just as uninformed and argle-bargly as the Tea Party.
