Okay cali, old girl; time for some Freudian stuff.
You know, there's always at least two reasons people do something--their stated reason and their real reason.
The advantage--such as it is--to being deaf is that because one can't hear others explain themselves, one is compelled instead to sit back and watch them for clues betraying their real motives.
As you already know, old girl, most Bernie bullies bought Skippy's lie that Methuselah is "further left" than Messalina Agrippina, when in fact she's just as "left" as he is, if not more so.
So they say they're for the old sourassed sourpuss because he's "far-left," and as far as primitives are concerned, the further left one is, the better.
But that's not really so. The WillyT primitive, for example, is for Methuselah because he (WillyT) thinks he's going to get tons and tons of free stuff if Methuselah wins the White House.
Ditto for idiot girl on Manny's jackass message board.
And the Audrey primitive, "Hepburn," the queen of the entitled.
There's others such as the big guy in Bellevue, Omaha Steve, and Judy grasswire, who don't know shit about politics. They're "for" the old sourassed sourpuss simply because they think the Bernie bullies are the cool kids on Skins's island, and they want to be cool kids too.
Finally, there's Skippy himself, who's "for" the runner-up candidate simply because Skippy's a nihilist; he yearns to wreck and destroy things, thinking it'll help his feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. And deep down, he hates women.
By promoting Methuselah, he'd hoped to lay waste to Skins's crowning glory, Skins's island, to sink the place. And because Messalina Agrippina's a woman, it's his chance to destroy a confident, assertive, bright, aesthetic woman too.
That's the real reason Skippy's done what he's done, and I dare him to tell me it's not so.
And as I've been faithfully reading you for about, oh, fifteen years now, old girl, I know the real reason you're supporting this absurd old man; it's nothing like your "public" reason.
