Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumdid I miss them or is there a lack of gloating, slamming, snarky post over the Sanders win?
I haven't seem the hate filled snark, gloating and baiting like I saw when Hillary had a good showing.
I may have missed them or maybe those Berniebros aren't the trouble makers after all?

(5,420 posts)I meant all the posts the hill supporters put out downright making fun of Bernie and his supporters when Hillary had a win. I don't see that kind of shit coming from the Bernie supporters.

(10,650 posts)If they win a primary, they view it as a justification of their superiority. And they like to rub it in. It makes them feel important.

(2,479 posts)How it isn't really the Bernie supporters who are being jerks in conversations, but it's the Hillary people. I've been called an a-hole, an idiot, not to mention all of the terrible names Sanders has been called in posts, where I've done nothing but report on actual doings of the Clinton's, and various facts about Hillary, like her supporting the TTP many times.
Yet we're the "Bernie-Bros." Who would choose such a name, with "sexism" being hurled at anyone who says a single thing about Hillary, that is negative, whether it has anything to do with sexism or not? It's a sexist name. The name was invented by Hillary people, like many of the terrible tactics she is using.
If I have a problem with Hillary, other than her positions, it's been the terrible way she's been running her campaign, not on issues, but tactics of slinging racist and sexist stuff around, the way she's attacked us for simply trying to campaign for our candidate.

(314 posts)Those kind of wins don/t need to be gloated over. They speak for themselves. It is the losses and close wins that we agonize over and whoop at when won. We ain't mean or nasty. We are all wrapped up in this drama and I think rightly smashed with victory or dashed with defeat. And already excited and riled up over the next contest. Passion is the price of involvement.

(15,476 posts)Over the decades between when I was about 30 and now, I've spoken to a lot of people, seen a lot of things, and read a lot of things. Because of this, I believe I know much about what is true, and what is not true in the American experience. I've seen the cancer called 'free market' capitalism suck the good out of much of this country, make us mistrust and even hate one another while still the Wall Street and MIC parasites suck the money right out of our pockets. I've seen CEO salaries move up into the $20 millions while wages on the floor have declined, if the whole operation hasn't been moved offshore. I've seen cops gunning down unarmed kids day after day. I've seen the race wedge used by the right wingnuts, the establishment GOP and even the establishment Dems. I nearly vomited when I found out about the water in Flint.
What has become of us????
When you know the truth, people, you can't ever go back.

"Scorched Earth" is a policy that hurts the indigenous population for decades while only hurting an opponent for the immediate future.

(15,476 posts)But you know, there are lots of elections left, and four caucuses. The math makes it narrow. So, instead of gloating, now is the time to give Sanders another donation and maybe do some phone banking...

(10,297 posts)with suggestions that Bernie do that? Not nice for DEM to do that to another DEM. But, of course, if as a matter of personal necessity she withdrew, that's OK.
