But camp Weathervane would like to believe that there were. And they will probably repeat that lie ad nauseam.

More like their job is to PLAY a Sanders supporter at DU and around social media. GOP strategy groups pay their operatives well, I hear.

the "bern or bust" petition posting and "bern it down" contingency. have you noticed how often Trump is being talked of favorably all of a sudden here? Gets hard to take people seriously.

Were ones that felt she would be a good fit, and didn't understand why. I saw some conspiracy posts that I generally ignore, but I didn't see anyone attacking her. I will say I'm getting sick of HRC supporters running roughshod over us. Sorry I have beliefs, and I'm sticking to them.

but do you question HRCs wrath against people that question her? She's a pretty shitty person when people question her. She loses the ability to remain calm or decent. I can't imagine what she's like when she has a little control behind the scenes.

I have no fear of tough women, but the country is another story. Obama walked a tightrope and was exceptionally cool because he is hyperaware of these kinds of perceptions. I think Hillary can't give a fuck, and I like it.

I haven't seen anyone on DU--and DU is 80 percent Sanders supporters--"attacking" or doing anything of that nature.

We love Elizabeth and hope for her endorsement, but respect that she may not endorse Bernie...or anyone!

As far as this "attack by Bernie supporters" of her Facebook page, I think that is a ploy to make it appears as though that is what Sanders supporters are doing.

The Clinton camp has been notorious about attacking Sanders' supporters, calling them "BernieBros" and hoping that sticks--as well as calling them "sexist". Bill Clinton even did that.

I imagine the FB accusations are just one extension of a very long campaign to malign Bernie supporters.

"Are Clinton supporters faking aggressive messages to Senator Elizabeth Warren in order to cause a rift among Sanders supporters? We need fifty posts on this important question!"

Luckily, Senator Sanders himself is addressing his trade policy rather than such nonsense, another case of the candidate outshining his adherents.

It's all I could turn up, but I said before that DUers weren't part of the subset.

I don't believe that most Bernie supporters are abusive. Just a vocal few.

forgive me if I'm reluctant to trust the cred and motives of that new DU Bernie supporter. But thanks for providing something related to the issue.
