Jesus H. Christ playing flag football with irate and drunk Packers' fans in a preseason game, wtf is WRONG with Kossacks today? Have you all lost your ever-lovin' minds?!
I am seriously asking. For real.
Listen to me for a second, will you? I'M not objective! YOU'RE not objective! NO ONE HERE is objective, if they have already evaluated the Democratic field and picked the candidate who pissed them off the very least! We all want our man or woman to win the Democratic primary, don't we? This is why we get incensed and inflammatory and unruly and stubborn and pissy with each other, and this is why Daily Kos is a veritable cesspool during primary season.
So why not just admit it? There's no fucking harm in rooting for your team, is there? I am completely, 100% subjective here: I want Senator Bernie Sanders to get the Democratic nod for president. I don't like Hillary Clinton's policies, I don't like her condescending attitude, I don't trust her, I don't believe she's authentic, I think she is an absolutely terrible campaigner, and I don't believe she'd make a good president for these United States. I don't want her to be the leader of the Democratic Party, and I will fight tooth and nail for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party, too; I am sick to death of the Democratic Party being run by (and the DNC standing only for) centrist and neoliberal Democrats. I am sick to death of the old school Democratic Party Platform being dismissed out of hand and, even worse, being contradicted time and again by people I don't feel should even call themselves Democrats.
Fuck that noise. I am not playing anymore.
You wanna know why I don't like Secretary Clinton anymore?
Fine, here. Suck on all these links:

Hillary Clinton and The Family:
Clinton's prayer group was part of the Fellowship (or "the Family"), a network of sex-segregated cells of political, business, and military leaders dedicated to "spiritual war" on behalf of Christ, many of them recruited at the Fellowship's only public event, the annual National Prayer Breakfast. (Aside from the breakfast, the group has "made a fetish of being invisible," former Republican Senator William Armstrong has said.) The Fellowship believes that the elite win power by the will of God, who uses them for his purposes. Its mission is to help the powerful understand their role in God's plan.
Hillary Clinton's vote on the authorization of the
Iraq war:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said she is not sorry she voted for a resolution authorizing President Bush to take military action in Iraq despite the recent problems there but she does regret "the way the president used the authority."
"How could they have been so poorly prepared for the toppling of the Saddam Hussein?" the New York Democrat asked Tuesday night on CNN's "Larry King Live."
Hillary Clinton and her flippy-floppy milquetoast bullshit on the
Trans-Pacific Partnership:
Clinton's approach so far has been to stay vague. "She will be watching closely to see what is being done to crack down on currency manipulation, improve labor rights, protect the environment and health, promote transparency and open new opportunities for our small businesses to export overseas," her campaign said Friday. On Tuesday in New Hampshire, the candidate herself added, “Any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security. We have to do our part in making sure we have the capabilities and the skills to be competitive.”
The Clintons made $25 mil in speeches in one fuckin' year, but they're totes broke!:
Hillary Clinton gave 51 paid speeches for a total of nearly $12 million since January 2014, and Bill Clinton gave 53 speeches for $13.5 million, according to the disclosure.
Hillary Clinton’s most lucrative speaking gigs were addresses delivered in San Diego to the Biotechnology Industry Organization and Qualcomm for $335,000 apiece.
Bill Clinton’s priciest speeches were delivered abroad to Bank of America in London, law firm Kessler, Topaz, Meltzer & Check in Amsterdam, and to EAT: the Stockholm Food Forum. Each brought him $500,000.
Hillary Clinton and her LGBTQ problem (at least until
2013, when she decided to change her mind):
In a primary, Clinton could be forced to explain a longtime position that a significant part of that Democratic political coalition now views as suspect or even bigoted. Most famously, the Silicon Valley left forced the ouster of Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich for a 2008 donation he made to an anti-gay-marriage ballot initiative. That same year, Clinton ran for president while openly opposing gay marriage. If she is to be believed, she also opposed gay marriage as recently as 2013, long after a majority of Americans already held a more gay-friendly position. Would the subset of Democrats who thought 2008 opposition to gay marriage should prevent a man from becoming CEO in 2013 really support the 2015 presidential campaign of a woman who openly opposed gay marriage until last year?

This is only a beginning of Hillary Clinton's positions I disagree with. I could literally go on for hours (and probably days), but I'm getting tired and it's almost 1 am in the Land of Cheese, sue me.
The bottom line is that, if I'm a huge supporter of Senator Sanders, I'm probably not going to like Hillary Clinton or her triangulatin' ways. That's just how it works. You can probably like both at the same time, but I'm not even sure how that would happen. (Feel free to enlighten me in the comments.)
I am a Bernie Sanders supporter. I dislike Secretary Clinton. I am not offended that you think I am not a fan of Mrs. Clinton's, and you can accuse me of all sorts of bullshit (I'm quite sure that is forthcoming, no worries), because you'll believe whatever you want to, in the end.
I'm the same way.
I'll save my Sanders campaign stuff for the real world, where I'm not arguing on a weblog that is so heavily entrenched in Democratic bullshit that the everyday denizens are talking past each other and hurling insults like they're bombs.
Daily Kos isn't where I go to try to convince people to vote for Bernie Sanders, because no one will be convinced. That's what meat space is for.
