He quite obviously pilfered the donations but no, Bernie supporters were not just anti-Hillary. I know many of them and they are brainwashed college students who earnestly believed in his policies because their educations have force fed them Marxist propaganda for four years. It matters because it doesn't go away with Bernie. The Marxist indoctrination machine has infested American education for 40 years and the democratic party (and sometimes republicans) has rode its momentum to levels of centralized power previous generations would not have thought possible.

I'm not talking about Clinton because there are plenty of people already talking about her. What more needs to be said? I mean, they made a movie about her corruption and gave it a wide release in theaters. It's all on the table now. She will either lose or win by fraud.

Russia isn't communist, China isn't communist, and the only communist countries left are actually just dictatorships where the state owns all property

Implying that isn't the true end-goal of Marxist communism.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see that oligarchical dictatorship is an inevitable endpoint of a Marxist revolution. Looking at Karl Marx's life, it's pretty obvious he was just an arrogant megalomaniac who created an ideology to manipulate the classes of society he thought were dumb enough to believe him into putting him into power.

Communism was a specious smoke screen ideology to start with. It's THE smoke screen ideology and in that sense it is still present everywhere.

Bernie supporters shouldn't be here because they shouldn't be Bernie supporters. It doesn't matter that he's an "outsider" when the reforms he's pushing are what the establishment wants anyway. As long as you believe in socialist ideals, you are being manipulated. For awhile, I thought Bernie was being manipulated too but it looks like he may have been a manipulator after all.

Why the hell would Hillary shills insult Bernie's platform? She's been doing her best to mirror his platform in order to attract his useful idiot followers.

Also, understanding that political ideologies are secular religions created manipulate the ignorant and unintelligent into compliance doesn't make you a genius. Everyone in politics knows that. Those ideologies exist to serve distinct purposes. What they preach and why they're really preaching it matters.
