People haven’t exactly been feeling the love at Trump rallies lately, but one Bernie Sanders supporter wants to change all that.
In a case of admirable naiveté or brilliant trolling, Independent Journal Review released a video of a Bernie Sanders supporter offering free hugs at a Trump rally.
We know you’re thinking that it’ll end in some horrible act of violence — but wait — it doesn’t!
The whole thing is pretty damn cute (as is the nerdy-cute Sanders supporter) and it left us feeling a bit of hope for our ability to get along as Americans with different political leanings…until that’s shattered by the next random act of violence at a Trump rally.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Side note: we’re not sure if the rainbow “Bernie” logo means the guy’s gay, but we’re pretty sure you’ll be interested in figuring it out if the Nate Silver/Steve Kornacki type makes you feel the Bern.

Trump and Sanders fans can carry on their war of hate mongering and demagoguery but Hillary continues her message of peace, love and inclusiveness.

He has a similar video where he poses as a trump supporter at a bernie rally. He gets more hugs there. LOL

@John Mathieson: “I believe marriage is not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman. I have had occasion in my life to defend marriage, to stand up for marriage, to believe in the hard work and challenge of marriage. So I take umbrage at anyone who might suggest that those of us who worry about amending the Constitution are less committed to the sanctity of marriage, or to the fundamental bedrock principle that it exists between a man and a woman, going back into the midst of history as one of the founding, foundational institutions of history and humanity and civilization, and that its primary, principal role during those millennia has been the raising and socializing of children for the society into which they are to become adults.”
Hillary Clinton 2004. #WhichHillary?

People like this are just asking for trouble. Just let the Trump Neo-Nazis have their rallies and leave them alone. There is no chance in hell Trump or any of the Crazy Loonies in the GOP are going to win in a general election- I have faith in the American people. The only Candidate in the republican side who is halfway sane in Kasich and he is in last place so that says a lot about the party doesn’t it.
GC1985
@robho3: I do too. But some goosesteppers on this very site think otherwise. But yea look at the GOP… Trump and Ted Cruz lead in delegates. Insanity.
I will be pleased to see Hillary Clinton get inaugurated next year. Of course some want Bernie, but Hillary is far ahead in delegate counts right now. Unless something truly crazy happens, she will get the nomination.
GC1985
@shakes_head: Shakes head apparently doesn’t pay attention. Hillary has been pro same sex marriage since 2011. Don’t bring up old quotes. Even Obama once said he wasn’t in favor of same sex marriage.
Which Hillary? What about why do people like you support the GOP who is totally against same sex marriage?

See, told you Trump supporters are not bad people. They are actually nice. I’m one of them! 🙂
Captain Obvious
@John Mathieson: Peace? The bitch wants to go to war with North Korea. She couldn’t care less about the rest of us. Are you nuts? She’ll start World War III. Toss your vote to her without thinking if you want but don’t claim some sort of moral high ground by voting for the jackass who is out to prove she has a bigger dick than any man who’s ever been in office. You’re too old to be drafted so maybe that’s why you don’t care about it?
I just don’t understand why you Hillary supporters keep swearing up and down that she has some sort of special interest in you. She’s not going to do anything for you. All of her attention and her entire well known agenda is focused on war for monetary gain just like both Bush losers before her. There is a reason they’re so friendly with them.
I swear all you older folks are going to leave us younger people with a huge mess to clean up voting for Hillary and not even knowing why you’re voting for her.
You all think Bill did something for you. He did nothing. He left a huge mess and caused a lot of chaos. Between him and Bush Junior we lost a lot of rights as formerly private citizens.
Hillary is going to kill a lot of young people. The reason so many young voters are voting are voting for Bernie is because we’re tired of the absolute shit you people did with your uninformed voting and you keep continuing to do it. You’re on the internet right now. Look her ass up before you preach about how amazing you think she is. It’s well documented how nuts she actually is versus your silly fantasy about her being mother Teresa.
Captain Obvious
@GC1985: Who cares?! We won the right to marry. This goes beyond us. Do you want to live in a nation at war with North Korea? That’s what we WILL have voting this idiot into office. You Hillary supporters have to be stark raving lunatics or the most ignorant people on the planet. Who effing cares what she thinks about gay people, black people, or anyone else? She wants to go to war.
She has wanted to start a war since before Obama’s original run for office. She’s made it well known that she will start a war with North Korea. North Korea suicide bombs. Do you have any idea what that will be like? Do you want to experience that? Do you want to risk people you love to an unnecessary war?
No bull you can say about Hillary’s false promises trumps the fact that she has promised to go to war with North Korea. And if you don’t care about that then you are in fact certifiable.
It’s literally the same thing Bush did, Bush senior probably gave her the idea. Start a war, come up with BS reasoning for it, and rob that area of anything of value. The Bush family made more money off the Iraq war than you could ever imagine. Hillary will do the same in North Korea.
She does not care about anything you have to post about as some sort of positive reason to vote for her. She may do it, she may not do it. It really doesn’t freaking matter because you will be too busy hearing explosions or sending young family members off to a war so she can get richer.
How you can be on the internet, an active internet user, and still a Hillary supporter makes no logical sense. Everything she’s ever said publicly is right under your nose. Look her up.
GC1985
@Captain Obvious: You’re a raving nut and you don’t know what you’re talking about. Hillary is the only one that can guide this country and she isn’t going to go war with North Korea. Get a frigging grip and leave the ad hominems at the door.
I know ignorant fools like you rarely have valid arguments though. You rely on insults to build up your non-existent credibility. You’re the one that makes no sense.
Why don’t you look her up instead of relying on your same old moronic histrionics?
GC1985
@Captain Obvious: Idiot raving with no evidence. That’s all you are. You rave like a lunatic. Let me bet… you’re still sucking some old white republican’s dick?
GC1985
@leobaga: So far you’ve come off as a lying lunatic. So you’re not off to a good start!
GC1985
@Captain Obvious: He did nothing, she did this, she did that… that’s all your post is. A crock of s**t with no real backing to it. Where is your evidence? Or do I have to take your word for it once again? You haven’t changed. You’re still as delusional when I’ve first interacted with you. And your credibility is shot after this latest little ranting.
Then you say stupid unsupported crap like this:
“Do you have any idea what that will be like? Do you want to experience that? Do you want to risk people you love to an unnecessary war?”
Did you watch that stupid movie about North Korea invading the US? You’re about as dumb as a rock. If North Korea did anything, the Chinese would be launching their own invasion. China’s economy is tied to the US and the entire West. They will not permit that hermit in doing anything.
So keep your hysterical and downright unsupported questions to yourself. Oh and don’t use “appeal to authority” logical fallacies. YOU are NOT an authority in ANYTHING. You’re nothing more than a hypocrite.
leobaga
@GC1985: such hatred. What did Trump ever do to you. I get it — you’re an illegal, anchor baby, or Isis supporter.
You make outrageous claims that are totally untrue. Your foul mouth says it all about you. I’m not surprised you’re a supporter of that old hag who’s currently being investigated by the FBI. Get a life buddy.
GC1985
@leobaga: Actually I’m a US Citizen.
I don’t have “hatred”. I just don’t like a guy who is going to crash the economy, destroy institutions and leave this nation in tatters. You see… I care about the future.
You don’t. You never have. Oh and Hillary isn’t going to get indicted so dream on. She did nothing wrong. You get a life.
Your man Trump should have been indicted for racketeering for his ties to Paul Castellano and organized crime. You ought to wonder why he used concrete in his buildings and not steel. Tell me… who owned major concrete businesses during the 1970s/80s? You shouldn’t throw stones from a glass house. Trump also has illegal business dealings in Central America… he circumvented all sorts of international laws.
Do me a favor keep your lies and BS to yourself. This site is for factual discourse. You have presented absolutely NO fact. The only thing you have shown is you’re a self hating clown who doesn’t care about the future of this country.

Oh and if you doubt me… this man seriously should be disqualified from running at all and immediately investigated.
And why won’t he release his tax returns? Apparently he is hiding something. Or how about an audit of his wealth? You’ll be surprised how many off shore holdings accounts he has.
Go ahead… support him… you’re just telling us you have NO integrity at all.
And unlike you and that Captain Oblivious dude, I can present evidence.
leobaga
@GC1985: actually, it’s the other way around. You’re the one spewing lies that are so outrageous, it’s hilarious.
If your allegations were true, Trump will be in prison right now. But he isn’t. Because it’s all BS. Keep trying, buddy.
passingthru
@Captain Obvious: So much misguided energy. Often goes the follies of youth…..
GC1985
@leobaga: The allegations are completely true, but he has friends in high places. He got cozy with politicians and no charged were ever filed. The claim is totally backed up. Nothing is outrageous. You simply can’t accept the fact that Trump is the most corrupt Presidential candidate in history. You are a liar.
You try again kiddo! And this time come up with an actual argument.
GC1985
@GC1985: *charges
leobaga
@GC1985: As ive said. It’s BS. You’d be more believable if you quote cnn. According to cnn, “no federal investigation led to criminal charges.”
Try again.
leobaga
@GC1985: On the other hand, the Clintons are proven liars and very good at that too. Remember the famous lie of all: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”
GC1985
@leobaga: No proof from the clown once again. Nothing corroborated. He wasn’t charged because he had friends in the Reagan administrations. You are a delusional supporter with not much of a mind.
@leobaga: Blah blah blah… Yet according to Politifact, Hillary tells the truth 78% of the time and Donald Trump tells the truth just 8% of the time. So why are you supporting a well known liar? Because you like being lied to… You are delusional after all.
GC1985
@leobaga: And what you say doesn’t have much relevance. You aren’t a source. Stop trying to use logical fallacies. You aren’t an authority in here.
leobaga
@GC1985: “He wasn’t charged because he had friends in the Reagan administrations. ” — No proof. All hearsay. You’re getting desperate.
Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar, proper. In fact, she’ll tell a lie when the truth sounds better.

GC1985
@leobaga: Nonsensical video that takes what she said out of context. Check out Politifact. Hillary actually tells the truth more than Bernie Sanders. But you support a pathological liar known as Donald Trump. Someone who has a record number of liar pants on fire awards from Politifact. From people cheering 9/11, to his lies about David Duke… Compulsive liar. Much like you.
GC1985
@leobaga: And desperate? About what? I’m the one that posted an actual corroborated story with evidence. Republicans get away with racketeering all the time… Trump is no different.
You look pretty desperate right now. Trump is a compulsive liar and you believe him. It must be sad being as pathetic as you.
leobaga
@GC1985: Name a politician who doesn’t lie. There is none. The key is to elect someone who will make the most change and disrupt the status quo. Trump will destroy the homophobic GOP and that’s a great thing.
GC1985
@leobaga: Look up politifact check the candidates and stop being a lazy log cabiner. Not everything is spoonfed to you like what trump does. Use your mind. Trump will destroy the entire GOP and get clobbered in November. Blowback baby! Most Americans (60-65%) can’t stand your fool of a candidate.
Also Trump is very pro establishment and has been close to Republican politicians for years. So you might want to rethink your logic.

Turning up to an opponents rally and disrupting it in order to shut down freedom of speech and harass attendees is the real expression of hate.
To then claim to be the victim of “hate” and that you some how represent “love” is disturbingly immature.

@heavylifter: No. They are protesting. Nobody is being “shutdown” except when Trump supporters commit violent acts.

Hillary is not going to get indicted. Dream on.
