They keep using these horrific historical atrocities as slogans. Very disturbing

1. Oh give me a break. No one is going to buy this, you do realize that?

Three titles I found in less than 30 seconds:

Bernie Sanders for President | Event | BERNing Boston - Flyering the MBTA

LOS ANGELES IS BERNING: A Fundraiser Show for Bernie ... - Facebook

Brooklyn Is Berning: Bernie Sanders Scores Support From the Indie Music ...

[JonLeibowitz]

3. Fresh memes, served up daily!

The brock slime machine never stops. If this one blows over, another one is around the corner!

[beam me up scottie]

4. ZOMG BERNIEBROS ARE GONNA TORCH THE TOWN!!!

Oh wait, they're just drinking lattes and chillin on the sidewalk.

[CoffeeCat]

9. Yes, but those lattes are really, really hot!

Someone could die!!! Die I tell you!!!

There's just nothing like a fauxrage sandwich served up with a side of hyperbole chips.

[beam me up scottie]

25. Fauxrage sandwich!

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. WHAT? So that is why my scanner was quiet?

Now, now, no 911 calls for people chilling and drinking lattes? NOW YOU TELL ME!

(Realize I went to an event this afternoon and I was carrying for real party flavors)

[beam me up scottie]

24. Can you believe these threads?

I mean if you're going to accuse us of something nefarious at least put some effort into it, this is insulting.

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. After a day of serious stuff

minimum wage and police use of force, I gotta laugh at these folks. What do you do? I do not consider them serious people

[azurnoir]

43. well we are Berners ya know

[beam me up scottie]

49. Bernin down the house!

[CharlotteVale]

20. While u wait!

[synergie]

14. Perhaps you need to work on your research skills, like searching for the actual phrase

discussed for example.

https://twitter.com/search?q=%23TheBronxIsBerning&src=hash

It shouldn't take you more than 5, unless you were hunting beyond the actual search results to show just how clueless Bernie Supporters were airing their ignorance. Note how none of your cherry picked titles are there.

[JonLeibowitz]

18. You missed BMUS' point entirely.

[beam me up scottie]

22. That's on purpose, it's her shtick. Strawmen R Us.

[beam me up scottie]

21. Perhaps you need to address what I actually posted instead of using strawman arguments.

Let me know when you figure it out, I don't have the time or the patience to walk you through it.

[azurnoir]

42. U is not E

[bvf]

46. What a goof.

Note: synergie has eight hides.

[beam me up scottie]

57. Another TS poster.

Thanks Skinner!

[dogman]

2. Only hashtag I found w/ sick in it:#ImSoSick

Some sick behavior there, by the candidate, not a supporter. Apparently you are Pyrophobic: definition, an abnormal fear of fire

[Meteor Man]

5. What you been smoking?

Do you mean it looks Sick or it looks Dope?

[lasttrip]

6. Take a break..

Peace.

7. Saaaa, what do you do for a living

Ambush triads of goats crossing over streams?

[neverforget]

8. You're serious?

[Segami]

10. Get off the weathervane,....

...the high-velocity centrifugal force is affecting your hemispheres.....

[fun n serious]

11. It says I have 9 replies and only see 5

Must be my block list... Don't waste your time.

[frylock]

13. Testing one two three..

derpa derpa derp.

[Segami]

15. ROFL!

[beam me up scottie]

33. LOL!

[synergie]

17. Apparently there was some "confusion" as to which hashtag you were referencing.

[djean111]

64. Thanks for the reminder!

Bye!

[ibegurpard]

66. Then don't post

[Hiraeth]

16. Please tell me this is the start of a long day of April Fools on DU.

[appal_jack]

23. The day has just begun, and someone's alert finger sure is itchy...

I was one of the silent "Leave It's." Gonna be a long 4/1 indeed.

[fun n serious]

27. They were posting twitter links all day yesterday..

I don't know why we can not discuss this?

Thank you By the way..

[appal_jack]

31. So, you do agree that it's OK for Bernie to use his own name, yes?

People can "feel the Bern" without actual medical emergencies, right?

A location can be "Berning" thanks to the passion of supporters without actually referencing past tragic fires: true or false?

There have been tragic fires in the past not only in the Bronx, but also Chicago, San Francisco, and many other places. Is "Berning" off limits there too?

Discuss it all you want. But I think that taking offense at "Berning" is reaching more than a little. A candidate has the right to his own name, and creative twists upon it.

35. It looks like residents of the Bronx created the hashtag and have been using it.

There were a few who objected but they were discussing it calmly, everything was fine until some HC supporters decided to make a big deal out of it by blaming Bernie and shaming his supporters.

It's up to the residents to work it out, HC supporters are just trying to stir the shit.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

39. As a Chicago resident, I'm retroactively outraged!

Berniebros are making fun of The Great Chicagi Fire!!!

[beam me up scottie]

41. Oh no you di'int!

[JackInGreen]

59. your purposeful conflation of Berning and Burning

[libdem4life]

77. I lived in LA County for 25 years and Sonoma County north of SF

[Orsino]

[azurnoir]

47. Lois is that you?

[beam me up scottie]

55. Why do you hate America?

[RedCappedBandit]

65. As a New Yorker who witnessed 9/11 with my own eyes, I disagree.

And I find your assertion to be obnoxious.

[snowy owl]

40. Another distraction.

[Warren DeMontague]

44. MMmmmmmm, fresh outrage

Getcher Fresh Outrage Here!

[Warren DeMontague]

45. He really ought to change his name to something else.

SORRY! I'M SORRY!!!!!!!

I have no Idea why this video came to mind
Probably because of the complete stupidity of this thread.

[morningfog]

68. Getting low on Bernie hate material?

[Jefferson23]

What a pathetic OP.

[mak3cats]

72. Trash thread (eom)

76. Jeezus, Mary & Joseph.

[riversedge]

78. I gree. Glad you posted about it.

[hrmjustin]

79. It is in bad taste.

[TheBlackAdder]

80. This OP is a Sensitivity Paradox: Written w/Faux Outrage, Ignoring Half of the Respondents!

.



I just don't get the ignore feature.


People are that afraid of other people's voices, especially if they disagree with them.


That seems to be akin to an ostrich placing one's head in the sand, instead of being open to everyone.
