WTF
My six-year-old is learning about flags right now and apparently would make a better VP.
The flag is so small in the tweet, that I can’t tell what is in the center.
Especially on a mobile device. The flags look almost identical.
If I were someone important like Vice President of the United States, and I were wasting time tweeting, I’d take another wasted minute to make sure I grabbed the correct flag.
I sure hope so, but I’m worried about the Bernie bros throwing another fit because they didn’t get their again.
Maybe Bernie’s supporters are justifiably upset over the way he was treated by the DNC and the apparent corruption in that organization, and this vote could be interpreted as more of the same from a party that claims to be for the people while it continues to sell out to corporate interests. This is exactly the kind of behavior that led to the Tea Party, and I’m not liberal enough for a Democrat equivalent to show up and crash the party in 2018.
Bernie’s supporters are justified in being upset how the DNC acted, no question…and yet nothing justified refusing to vote for Clinton and potentially helping Trump get elected, because Trump is a billion times worse. Sometimes being an adult means making a choice you don’t like because the only alternative is worse. Bernie supporters that further abandon the Democratic Party deserve the kind of things that are happening and will continue to happen under Trump (as does anyone who voted for him).
I’ll admit to not being terribly familiar with Tom Perez, but I got the sense that his equivalency with the “establishment” is overblown anyway.
JEDIT: Or maybe that the establishment wanted him but he’s more progressive than the Clinton wing of the party.
JEDIT2: I would have been perfectly happy with Ellison…or President Sanders, for that matter. I loathe the infighting more than the specifics that cause it.
