Hey man welcome to voat, we arnt all jackasses here, I'm not personally a Bernie supporter but I'd rather see anybody in then hillary. I really don't see Rummel's goal behind making this post unless it is to try to unify the democrats under Hillary or just be a straight asshole. Either way it doesn't make sense unless he actually is a Hillary shill. Anyways hope you enjoy your time here and don't pay attention to people like him.

Hol up duder,
Are you accusing me of rubbing salt in the wounds of the supporters of a communist sympathizer?
Are you implying I am getting gratification out of the concentrated tears of Sanders supporters as their candidate flops around like a helpless trout out of water?
That's definitely not me, man.
As of right now, I support Bernie 100%

Haha I mean kind of, the problem with what your doing in my mind is that it really damages your goals in the long term. It makes people who would support Bernie running as a third party candidate, which would effectively split the democrats and guarantee a trump election potentially realize what they are doing and switch to Hillary. Is your specific post going to have that effect, probably not. It can however sort of be looked at as something like death by 1000 cuts. Its not good politics, and its certainly not helping your goals. For instance the person I responded to after spending enough time on voat might actually realize how censored reddit is and switch to supporting trump. I doubt it now though. As much as I hate socialistic ideals Bernie is not the enemy this election, this election is about nationalism vs globalism. And I think we can all agree Hillary is the globalist.
