Feeling some kind of way about this meme

[elleblue]

Lacks support from dark skinned populace? Really? It's so unbelievably tone deaf. These are the things that are not helping your supreme leader Bernie bros and bots (not to be confused with Berners).

[isabel]

Yeah, someone posted it on fb earlier and I cringed. Not good.

[WOT?*]

I'll feel it right with you.
Blond ice queen my left cheek. And if she's so disliked, how does she manage to be beating him in the polls and have people who have been loyal to her for decades?
Congratulations on doing your "excoriate Hillary" job extremely well, conservatives.

It's not even true? Danerys has little support in Westeros but she's worshipped by the Dothraki, the Unsullied and lots of people from the other kingdoms.

She WAS worshipped by the Dothraki. She hasn't really had a following of late, though. (Although who knows what Season 6 has in store.) I dunno, there was something very similar in 2012. I'll see if I can find it.

I thought it was funny but also thought what NQB said which is that it's not true. The Trump one is what really made me giggle. 

True. And look, I don't even care about the Hillary Clinton one, we get it, no one likes her, whatever. lol

But that particular line in Bernie's just made me uncomfortable because his strategy has been more focused on the predominantly white states. So why would POC come out strong for him when he's been ignoring them? Idk, perhaps I'm being too sensitive.

Also, I feel like people are actually more upset about the Hillary comparison than "not supported by dark skinned populace". LOL.

Nope, don't even care.

Uh, yeah. I mean, it's comparing political figures to mythological characters. Lol.

I, personally, think you're being too sensitive. I don't speak for all the black folks on CEP though.

Fair enough. I still don't like it. lol

Not you. People in general who are upset with this meme. I've seen folks bashing it on FB, and it starts with "racist!" for like two seconds and then "HILLARY IS NOT A DISLIKED ICE QUEEN!!!11" for five hours.

Oh well, those people need to unclench. As if being disliked is the worst that is commonly said about her, ha!

I like the flow chart on a piece of notebook paper meme going around FB right now a lot better.

Isn't that the burn (ha!), though? I mean, it's taking zingers at the candidates and Bernie has been crap at reaching beyond white voters. That's what's funny about it.

I read it differently, the way it was phrased made it sound more like something people who keep ranting that POC are "voting against their best interest", etc would say. It's probably just a case of me being beyond fed up with the zealots so I'm reading into it more than I should.

This was exactly what I thought of! This one was hilarious. Always going on about climate change LOL and "came from behind" DEAD

I think you need a drink.

[pixy0stix]

Danerys is a weak leader who doesn't listen to advice and goes headlong into whatever the fuck she wants. Sounds about right for Bernie.

[Deleted]

omg otowngirl, I'm dying about "always going on about climate change."

I giggled too but I don't speak for all of the biracial folks on CEP either.

I have ice cream for later. I'll be okay. heh

[sfy]

My mind is blown right now, because my hate for Joffrey was so intense that I feel like he was a real person I knew. I HATED him. I hate Trump slightly more. I can't believe I never drew this parallel on my own.

[aurora]

Whatever I feel about the other comparisons, Trump = Joffrey made me laugh.

Well, until it made me cry.

ugh WHYYYYYYYYYYY must we wait another month for GoT.

I WANT IT NOW
