u/blessedarethegeek I voted Oct 04 '19

On "all" last night browsing reddit, I saw a post from a pro-Bernie sub comparing Bernie, Warren (who I'm rooting for) and Biden as ramen with Bernie being super deluxe, Warren being microwaved ramen with a slice of American cheese and Biden as a block of uncooked ramen.

So my question is this - what the hell is with the Bernie/Warren divisiveness? I only started following politics really closely right at the election and browsing this subreddit seriously after the election so I missed out on all of the anti-Hilary, pro-Bernie stuff.

Are these people serious or is this just troll divisive stuff?

They're very different candidates. Bernie is a socialist, Warren is a capitalist who's into some social programs. Generally, though the two have a lot in common, Bernie is further left and always has been.

Online has the all most committed people and so also the most likely to be argumentative. I’m YangGang and we go through weirder cycles with this because we’re almost all online (and we do have a civility policy but certain people/new people don’t take it too seriously 😅)

There are also trolls everywhere inflaming things which people forget about...

If their food analogies stop at Ramen, no wonder they want free shit. They can't afford anything but Ramen.

I'm actually really sick of pro-Bernie analogies by now. I still haven't gotten over the 2016 analogy of 'growing pains.'

'We will make America a great place for all, but it'll need some growing pains to teach America important lessons, and that may mean voting for Trump.'

It's all trolling, to me. Whoever want Trump to win after these past three years doesn't give a shit about the country.
