Observation: The viral Bernie posters have taken the weekend off.

Last edited Sat Dec 26, 2015, 11:59 AM - Edit history (1)

Scrolling through the latest posts, I don't see the volume of divisive threads as usual. Evidently they all took the holiday weekend off. It almost DU as normal.

Just an observation, that's all.

Their tone is so Teabaggerish. Bernie Sanders does not reflect their tone ...he's actually quite the gentleman with Hillary. I use that thought as my baseline with their threads.

You see it everywhere there is a democratic conversation going on. The supporters of a certain candidate are just plain vile at times. I don't understand how anyone thinks they could be helping their candidate by posting that stuff.

I think Bernie wouldn't be too proud if he could read some of the comments posted by his "supporters."

His divisive nastiness is equal to the more visceral Sanders supporters around here.

I guess Weaver is seeing his chances to destroy the Democratic Party establishment from the inside-out crumbling around his ears, and he's gettin' desperate.

He blames Wasserman-Schultz, the data company's security firewalls, accuses Hillary Clinton and DWS for conspiring against Sanders, and all sorts of conspiracy theory goodies. What he doesn't do is explain why his staff members willfully and actively accessed Hillary Clinton campaign files first chance they got when they had ZERO business in those files.

He's not a man of integrity, that's for sure, and he reflects poorly on Sanders.
