1. Only Republicans win from shit stirring race baiting articles like this

Because if Hillary gets the nomination, a scorched earth campaign against Bernie supporters will hurt her in the general election.

[wyldwolf]

3. Any examination of DU over the last few months reveals...

... the Sanders supporters scorched earth campaign against Hillary and her supporters.

[jfern]

4. Where are the articles attacking all Hillary supporters?

Because you posted one attacking all Bernie supporters. I guess you really don't want us to vote for your candidate if she gets the nomination.

[wyldwolf]

10. Where are the articles attacking all Bernie supporters?

Because I posted one commenting on some of them. Money quote:

Despite the fact that these are obviously subjective assessments, Bernie Sanders’s most vocal supporters—mainly educated, politically leftist white men—have lost their collective minds over what they see as an media-led plot to bring Bernie down.

Next?

[Scootaloo]

13. I'm a vocal Sanders supporters. I'm also a caucasian with a penis and a happiness deficit.

Please. Explain myself to me. I'll pull up a stool and give you all the "shut up and listen" you want.

[virtualobserver]

18. Hillary supporters spend a lot of time fantasizing about Bernie supporters

isn't supporting the all-powerful Hillary enough for you?

[jfern]

20. Saying his biggest problem is his fan base

is clearly an attack on his supporters. How come no other candidate has garbage like this written about their supporters? Are Trump supporters all perfectly good people?

[wyldwolf]

22. yeah, so?

Saying his biggest problem is his fan base is clearly an attack on his supporters.

But not all of them.

[jfern]

28. It's a pretty major attack regardless

And extremely divisive, and not helpful to the general election regardless of who the nominee is. This shit has to stop.

[wyldwolf]

30. So?

And extremely divisive, and not helpful to the general election regardless of who the nominee is. This shit has to stop.

Tell me you've posted this same sentiment in anti-Hillary threads.

[jfern]

32. No, I don't go around posting articles attacking most Hillary supporters

It's pretty clear there's a coordinated attack on Bernie supporters, and we are not standing for it. I have never seen the supporters of a candidate attacked as much as this. And you do realize you need the support of Bernie supporters if Hillary gets the nomination? Scorched earth attacks come at a price.

[wyldwolf]

35. that's not what I asked you.

Do you go to anti-Hillary threads or anti-Hillary supporter threads and tell Bernie supporters 'this shit has to stop.'

Well, do you?

[jfern]

36. How many anti Hillary supporter threads are there?

And criticizing Hillary on the issues is extremely different than threads like this.

[wyldwolf]

39. many - the fact you haven't noticed them shows you're either not sincere or...

... or your kumbaya feelings are relatively new.

[jfern]

42. I have never seen any that are as pure crap as this thread, that's for sure

This thread shows you would rather lose with Hillary than win with Bernie. You don't even care bout the general election any more. You are willing to tear the party in two to prevent Bernie from winning.

[wyldwolf]

44. Because you've probably agreed with them. Pure crap is in the eye of the beholder

The question remains - have you gone full-on kumbaya in those threads?

[jfern]

49. There has never been one as scorched earth as this

This is pure destroy Bernie supporters, take them down by any means necessary, don't worry about whether they bother to show up for your candidate in the general. Karl Rove couldn't be happier.

[wyldwolf]

51. so your kumbaya sentiment is new, then.

[ibegurpard]

43. you could always follow Hillary's example

And tell us to cut it out.
That'll shut us up for sure!

[Renew Deal]

25. Then Sanders is in big trouble

[GummyBearz]

2. hahahaha

ahahahh

Vote against policies because someone on line wasn't polite or whatever, lol.

More like never wanted the policies and are looking for ways to justify that choice

[longship]

5. This is utter bullshit.

Just like the anti-Hillary bullshit here.

Stop it! Just stop it!

[TheBlackAdder]

12. X2 - There seems to be a collective on both sides that generate 1/2 of the devisive posts. nt

[RobertEarl]

6. Dude

You need a better reading list.

I think a lot of young white men are most concerned about getting drafted to go fight another gawd damn war for the 1%. In Bernie they see the chances of that happening to be almost nil.

They'd rather make Love, not war.

[Scootaloo]

7. Admittedly justified anger is so easily dismissed because some of the angry people are white?

[jfern]

9. And most Bernie supporters aren't white men, anyways

[sadoldgirl]

8. Oh, this is so funny!

When I went to a Bernie party for the debates
there were 2 middle-aged guys, and 12 women!

Whoever wrote that article has not realized that
women are turning to Sanders and for good
reasons: His proposals for families.

[Old Codger]

15. Whoever wrote

That article needs to understand that they are in fact entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts.. it is called dogma, stating opinions as if they were facts..... very republicanism

[ibegurpard]

11. The OP poster has a long, long DU history

Of despising outspoken progressives and criticism of pro-corporate 3rd way policy. The fact that he can whole-heartedly get behind Hillary ought to be a red flag to anyone who doesn't support that drection for the party.

[wyldwolf]

14. Why, thank you for noticing.

[ibegurpard]

16. as you are so fond of pointing out

You can tell a lot about a candidate by who is supporting them...

[wyldwolf]

21. Good sentiment. Not sure I've ever pointed it out, though.

[ibegurpard]

23. Uh you just did with this OP...

And your posting history is far from a winning endorsement for Clinton for anyone for anyone even remotely progressive.

[wyldwolf]

24. uh, no I didn't

I posted something someone else wrote.

[Scootaloo]

26. Still waiting for you to explain myself to me

I'm all ears, Wyldwolf.

[wyldwolf]

29. that's a pretty big request. Studies are ongoing. Perhaps there's a net poll you can vote in?

[Scootaloo]

31. You seemed real confident to start this off, Wyldwolf

You wanna talk about angry white male Sanders supporters? Well, alright, you're talking to one now. Tell me about me, let's see how accurate you are.

[wyldwolf]

33. to start WHAT off? As usual, you're not being very clear.

[Scootaloo]

38. You posted the OP. You bolded part of it.

You want to talk about angry white Bernie supporters. I suppose I count as one. So... talk. Tell me about myself, Wyldwolf. Tell me all about angry white men supporting Bernie. You want a "conversation"? here we are. You want me to listen? Here I am.

[wyldwolf]

41. yeah, so?

I didn't write the article. You do understand how that works, right?

[jfern]

45. It's still divisive shit stirring either way

[wyldwolf]

50. So divisive posts should be... banned? You'd have to take down most the greatest DU page.

[jfern]

52. There are different levels of divisive

One saying that Bernie supporters are his biggest problem is a lot more divisive than saying Hillary once praised TPP or something.

[wyldwolf]

55. all in the eye of the beholder

[jfern]

57. I'd like to know why no other candidate has had their supporters attacked this much?

I mean there are easily more Hillary supporters who are crazy than Bernie supporters. Trump has Stormfront supporting him. But no, it's Bernie supporters that are bad.

[wyldwolf]

58. LOL

I mean there are easily more Hillary supporters who are crazy than Bernie supporters.

[jfern]

67. Where are the crazy posts?

And the Hillary supporter site hid their craziest posts.

[Scootaloo]

48. No, but you posted it here. You bolded a part you wanted to emphasize.

So, seems that you thought it was worthy of discussion. Particularly the part about angry white Sanders supporters. So, let's talk about them. Explain angry white Bernie supporters, to an angry white Bernie supporter.

[wyldwolf]

53. Amazing grasp of the obvious, scootaloo.

[Scootaloo]

56. Well, do you want to discuss the topic or not?

You want angry white male Bernie supporters to listen, right? well, I'm listening. Tell me about angry white male Bernie supporters.

[wyldwolf]

59. why would I want to discuss anything with you, scootaloo?

[Scootaloo]

62. Why wouldn't you?

You posted this topic to a discussion forum. You want to talk about angry white men who support bernie. Well, today's your lucky day, I'm an angry white man who supports Bernie. You're so eager to talk about me, why wouldn't you want to talk to me?

[wyldwolf]

63. Why would I?

[Scootaloo]

66. If you didn't want to, why open the topic for discussion in the first place?

You're so eager to talk about angry white male Bernie supporters. Alright. I'm an angry white man supporting Bernie. Let's talk. I'm trying to accomodate you. Give you all that listening you want from us, and such.

[wyldwolf]

68. You think I posted it specifically to discuss it with you? LOL

[Motown_Johnny]

17. Hell, if his fan base is his biggest problem.. Hillary is toast.

She also has batshit crazy supporters. Plus a whole lot of flip flops and untrustworthy numbers to deal with.

Thanks for the encouraging post.

[pa28]

19. His biggest problem is his angry white male fan base?

Racist and sexist with a heavy sprinkling of name calling while simultaneously claiming the high ground. Complete lack of self awareness here but carry on.

[MasonDreams]

27. Being educated? not a bad thing

Maybe we are building in a different way. Why can't we get angry and insult ignorance. The Right wingnuts have been angry and insult the educated, ivory tower, elite, latte sippin', Volvo drivin', hippies, for 20+ yrs. Ignorance is not to be celebrated. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son.

[Blue_In_AK]

34. Oh, really?

We certainly haven't heard anything like THIS before, have we? I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you.

[Joe the Revelator]

37. You should be ashamed to post this type of race baiting, gender smearing schlock.

Seriously, its just lame.

[murielm99]

46. Race baiting?

Seriously?

[Joe the Revelator]

47. Yes. Seriously.

[CentralMass]

40. Don't worry, the effects of those shrooms that you ingested will wear off eventually.

[cantbeserious]

54. Ever More Loathsome Fear Mongering And Obfuscation

[Gothmog]

61. A Sanders supporter told me that I was a bad parent for being the father of two daughters

I am closer to Sanders than Clinton on that online quiz but I live in the real world and I do not believe that Sanders is viable. Also as the father of two daughters, I would like to see a female POTUS. According to a sanders supporter, this means that I am a bad parent. I am not likely to support Sanders in the primary process because there is no way that Sanders could win in a general election but posts like that post are not helping Sanders' cause

[jfern]

64. Two things

One, you're voting for a candidate, and not their supporters
Two, Sanders has a better favorable rating, and has been doing at least as well as Hillary in general election polls.
