7. These "Bern it down" people infuriate me

"I'd rather see the whole world get nuked by President Trump than vote against my conscience and my precious sensibilities! Revolution takes sacrifice and I'm willing to throw my LGBT, female, and minority friends under the bus to accomplish that! If more blacks fall victim to another Dylann Roof or George Zimmerman, if my gay friends lose their right to marry, if my poor friends end up living in cardboard boxes, SO BE IT! I don't have anything to lose, I'll just smoke pot in Mommy and Daddy's basement for the next 4-8 years!"

And they complain when people call them out as the petulant, spoiled, self-righteous babies they are.
