Redking, you are the condescending people you dont like. You. Not bernie supporters, you. For evidence, see the post you just made.
Props for being able to separate me from other Bernie supporters. To be fair, my support is more predicated on his being the anti-Hillary, in the same way that people are supporting various others (including Hillary) as the anti-Trump.
If Joe Biden would have run, I'd probably be with Uncle Joe.
Im not taking the moral high ground here -- yeah, I'm being a dick. That's mostly due to realizing there's about an 85% chance that Her Royal Clinton is going to be the nominee. I didn't start out this cycle being acerbic, though I do remember saying a year or two ago that I *really* hoped she didn't run. I didn't particularly like her in 2008, and I sure as shit didn't warm up to her based on how she ran her campaign then, nor how she's run it now.
I'm disgusted with the Democrats for not being able to field a more competitive slate of candidates, I'm disgusted with the Republicans for not being able to field a non-repulsive candidate, and I'm disillusioned with Obama for reminding me that even the better Democrats are essentially Republicans with less odious social views. They're just as committed to free trade and outsourcing and globalism and military interventionism as the Republicans, they just do more hand-wringing over it. And they support the rights of gay, black and female CEOs, not just white male CEOs.
In that, at least Bernie is more than 50% palatable. Clinton *may* be at least similarly aligned on social issues (though I have serious doubts as to her commitment, given her late baptism as a progressive just in time to run for office), but she's absolutely a free trade globalist who will happily watch more jobs flow overseas in the name of fattening corporate profit margins, and she'll take donations from those corporations to keep the door open.
Hillary has also been ambiguous at best on the H1B visa program, despite documented abuse by a number of major companies. Sanders has pushed to raise H1B wages to levels competitive with native workers. Thus, if you really need "specialized labor", which is what the program is designed for, you can still import it, but you're gonna pay for it. As opposed to bringing in Indian programmers and DBAs because they're cheap, while shutting out Americans who are just as good or better, and whose only sin is being Americans and unable and unwilling to work for chicken feed.
Remember "it's the economy, stupid?"
Well, it's still the economy, and the last two decades have shown that neither party is particularly interested or effective at protecting the livelihoods of people too poor to donate to their campaign funds.
So yeah....I'm condescending to Hillary, and I will continue to be until she proves me wrong in my assessment of her.
