Wonkette takes a side and Bernie fans aren't going to like it.

If you were waiting for Bernie Sanders to release a statement on the clusterfuck that was the Nevada state Democratic convention, hooray! He has done so! If you were waiting for Bernie Sanders to release a statement telling his supporters “hey maybe don’t drown out and scream at Barbara Boxer that she’s a fucking bitch for having a different preference in the Democratic primary than you do,” you are going to have to wait a little bit longer.






Wonkette has been officially neutral in the Democratic primary, until now. (We know, angry commenters; Wonkette says it has been neutral but has been a reliable source of bought-and-paid-for neoliberal corporate piece of shit one-percenter shilling for a mass murderer who will be arrested for “emails” any day now. Fair enough!)

(Also, if you consider Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Dolores Huerta, Planned Parenthood, Emily’s List, Barney Frank, Harry Reid and John Lewis to be Enemies of your State, you probably need to sit down with a mug of Ovaltine and give your animal farm and Four Legs Bad Two Legs Better a super double plus good unthink.)


Before you tell us to WATCH THE VIDEOS — we have. They don’t show the blinding righteousness of your side that you think they do. What they show to most of us is the kind of screaming, violent temper tantrum for not getting your way — which happens sometimes in a democracy, or even a republic! — that is turning you into nihilist shitbirds. (Present company excepted. We know almost none of you would ever behave like a common thug — though you have your moments! — and we promise you don’t need to Swear Fealty and Fall in Line in the reeducation camp that is the comments.)

I wonder what would have happened if the police weren't there to hold back the rabid Bernie bros?

Disgusting.

It's time for a chorus of reasonable people to be chanting the same tune: the contest is over and St Bernard and his Brigade are acting like total jerks.

I love Rebecca and we've become internet friends. Rebecca and her husband have been a HUUUUGE Sanders supporter since the beginning. She knows she will lose friends and readers so please show them some traffic and love.

"Yeah, you know those Sanders delegates who we know were Sanders delegates who obstructed the proceedings at the state convention for 12 hours? Didn't happen. And they weren't Sanders supporters."

"Yeah, you know that Sanders delegate who called prominent Democrats misogynistic names in person at the convention? Didn't happen. And he wasn't a Sanders supporter."

"Yeah, you know that one random bullet hole in Vegas five months ago? The one that police don't have any information on and don't know if it was targeted or just random? WHY HAVEN'T ALL CLINTON SUPPORTERS BEEN THROWN IN JAIL YET FOR THIS?"
