Berning out

Funny how I was accused on several sites of being a BernieBro when I expressed doubts about Clinton*, despite not really being a Bernie supporter (mainly because I thought heโ€™d be ineffective and wasnโ€™t really radical enough for me).

Letโ€™s see: didnโ€™t really support Bernie, never voted for him, did not see him as being very effective in office, and yet Iโ€™m a BernieBro. Ok, then! Sure, that makes loads of sense.

When I mentioned that I supported Jill Stein far more strongly, it was like their brains melted down; you could almost hear the circuits liquefying, observe the smoke pouring out like in an old 1960s sci-fi b-movie as they skirled ever-more shrilly โ€œBernieBro! BernieBro!โ€

Itโ€™s no mystery at all why Clinton lost.

It doesnโ€™t matter who you supported. If it wasnโ€™t Clinton, you were a BernieBro. See how much good that did.

*Doubts that turned out to be very fucking justified, as we see in the tragic present.
