"Fuckery." Not Ratfucking.

Yep.


The Rude Pundit

Proudly lowering the level of political discourse

5/17/2016

In Brief: No, Bernie Sanders. That's a Bad Bernie Sanders.
SNIP...

And, hey, Bernie supporters, don't fucking respond  to this with "Oh, the rules are too complicated" or "They shut down the process" or "Shillary is Killary" or whatever the fuck you want to respond with. Honestly, the uprising at the convention itself is the kind of shit we expect when passions run deep. The Sanders campaign conspiracy theorists will have fuel for weeks now, even though most of their complaints boil down to "rules suck, man." Tim Robbins has probably worn out his thumbs tweeting about it.

But we're talking about the kind of fucked-up barrage of death threats that internet culture fosters, whether it's for a dentist who shot a lion or someone tweeting a stupid joke. Sanders didn't acknowledge that, in and of themselves, separate from whatever unconnected violence happened months ago, the violent, sexist language and explicit threats ("someone will hurt you&quot are fucked up. That's goddamned disheartening and, really, a missed opportunity to talk about the meaning of non-violence. Instead of strong condemnation, Sanders gave his worst voters a pass.

For fuck's sake, Sanders followers, this was over losing out on 4 fucking delegates.


And while the Rude Pundit has ignored much of the fuckery done by those followers to show how passionately they support Bernie, Sanders himself, through this response, may just have lost him this voter.

Victims may function better in their close personal worlds, with some problems, but when they look out at the big world?

Wonder if the hilariously and pointlessly stupid "Brock sock puppet" trope that's been tossed around this web site like a salad over the past few months will get tossed at the Rude One too?
