primitives discuss Methuselah's flagrant hypocrisy

Oh my.

This is something that hasn't been discussed hardly at all--although it needs to be--because of the way the Bernie bullies on Skins's island have inhibited the primitives from saying anything negative about Methuselah, even if it's true, which it usually is.

Bernie's flagrant hypocrisy. Let's count the ways:
 
1) Rants against "the establishment" but JOINED "the establishment" because as an Indy he wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in hell. (And has also been in public office himself for decades.)

2) Claims the party that damn well welcomed him in and has done as much for him as any candidate with data support, etc., even after years of bad mouthing the party and having never been in the party, needs to "open its doors." (What a load of steaming bullshit that one is.)

3) Rants about "rigged" this and "rigged" that, but then wanted to "RIG" Nevada when he damn well never won the caucuses and didn't get enough delegates to the convention.

4) Rants about "rigged" elections EXCEPT the elections HE wins under the very same rules and systems.

5) Says the super delegate system is "corrupt" but wants those very same "terrible" super delegates to switch to him even though he will have won fewer states, many fewer votes, and many fewer pledged delegates.

6) Has attended posh summer political retreats with fine accommodations, dinners, etc. himself.

7) Rants about bad millionaires but has made Devine and Weaver millionaires with his $27 a piece campaign donations.

8) Rants about corruption but won't release his own tax returns and is under scrutiny now for possibly having used his influence to help his wife get the bad loan which later led to the ruining of the college in Burlington.

The list probably goes on, but I will leave it for others to add to it.

The moral of the story, Bernie fans, is that your white knight just isn't as white you think.

You go, girl.  Tell 'em.

2. The taxes are especially funny. You'd think he wants to prove how poor he is.

Based on that list he appears to be your standard run of the mill democrat.

A DUmp Shillary thug to be worried about hypocrisy is just hard to fathom.

You know, I'm hoping there's backlash to all this, so that women won't vote Democrat for the next hundred years, given how badly women have been treated by the Democrat party.

It began in 2008, which should've been Messalina Agrippina's year, for all the work she'd done on building up the Democrat party.  She and other women. 

But no.....the Democrats went with an Oreo cookie because he was new and exciting, being "black" (quotation marks intentional).....and male.  There was no way the Democrats were going to let a woman lead their party.

And now this year, the Democrats have tried going with an old white guy who looks about as WASP, about as Establishment, as one can look, trying to deprive a woman of the nomination.

Ohmigod, a woman.  We can't have a woman.

The Democrat party doesn't like women.

<<<wishes more women would see that rather obvious truth.
