This ad, titled, “Feel the Bern,” layers audio narration from Obama over campaign images and archival footage of the Vermont senator’s appearances alongside the 44th president

Sanders had been, among liberal federal lawmakers, one of Obama’s most vocal critics. The Atlantic reported last month that the Vermont senator had contemplated mounting a primary challenge against Obama during the 2012 election cycle.

Did they consider primarying Obama? Did they say that the party establishment sucks? Oh, but now all of a sudden Bernie loooooves Obama who by the way IS the party establishment. That's a big LOL.

Senator Biden has told us he asked President Obama not to endorse him (which I put in the same light as his claim of an "arrest" in South Africa), and then is running ads implying he has has the endorsement. None of them are above lies and political chicanery.

I don't get all the hate for Bernie. Clearly he has a lot of people behind him and is participating in the democratic process. He was defeated last time, and most likely this time too. There is something to be said for his candidacy keeping Democrats from being even more Republican.

Joe's an all right fella in a lot of ways, but Bernie's more to my liking policy-wise, and damn oh damn I wish some of his worser followers weren't "worser." Because sure, not everybody lives on the Internet, but you do, and I do, and the reporters do. And for every "DON'T CALL ME A BRO" out there who's been alienating natural allies like most Warren supporters by telling us we just elected Trump and have blood on our hands, because somehow there is always a woman to blame, there is a media person seeing that shit and internalizing "BROS ARE ASSHOLES WHO WANT EVERYONE TO BEND THE KNEE," because of how that is what they themselves keep saying, out loud, with their mouths.

Because for all you sneer that "oh mean words matter more than people dying from lack of healthcare?" well, what matters more to you: Getting to say mean words, or people dying from lack of healthcare?

You don't even have to mean it. You can secretly wish that we all die or get raped or whatever (I hope you don't wish that, but some of y'all seem to), but out loud, you police yourself and your brothers and sisters: Does. this. help. our movement?
