Disgusting NY activists show up with a coffin to protest Joe Biden fundraiser

[highplainsdem]

This is Communities for Change, who bragged about coining "Wall Street Pete" to attack Buttigieg.

They wanted to tell Biden his campaign was over and he should drop out, so they showed up with a coffin.

At a fundraiser for the candidate who lost his first wife and baby daughter, and a grown son. Who referred again to Beau's funeral just yesterday on The View.

1. Biden isn't my top choice, he's always been in my top 3, I hate

to hear this kind of thing.😞

[highplainsdem]

6. Unless they drag a fake coffin to protests of other candidates, and as far as I know they don't,

that was a particularly nasty touch.

[Mz Pip]

2. Tasteless and vile

Really, these clowns are no better than Trumpers with their hateful bullshit.

Maybe they are Trumpers. Maybe not.

[highplainsdem]

3. They're not Trumpers. They're a leftwing group that backed Cynthia Nixon.

My first thought was that they were probably Sanders backers, and I'd guess most of them are, but when they were accused after their protests against Buttigieg of being Sanders supporters, they said their group also includes Biden and Warren supporters.

I doubt they have any Biden supporters left after this disgusting stunt.

27. Pathetic

Seeing this kind of crap just alienates undecideds and if anything shores up support for the opposition.

I’m all for peaceful protests but don’t sabotage your changes by engaging in this garbage.

It’s what the Trumpers do.

4. And who is behind this

guess........

They claim a great victory over amazon....it isn't they came to Orange County NY and they keep upping the anti on Pilot's. Looks to be about 800 area jobs around 40k a piece, not including construction jobs etc.

Maybe the people in Orange County NY should stop supporting the NYC lifestyle, we are taxed for it, from car registrations, state & local taxes, sales taxes for the MTA, Metropolitan commuter transportation mobility tax, and a variety of other little hidden add on's, in our cell phone bills, telephone and cable bills, electric bills.

What do the upstate counties get from NYC nothing but headaches.

5. More Left Wing BS.

[Jirel]

11. An amazing statement.

The Democratic Party is the main left wing party of the US. Apparently you feel that it’s better to court the mythical undecided voters and shaky Republicans, while disparaging people whose politics are left of your own. That’s a sure way to lose 2020.

[democratisphere]

13. Extreme wings are NOT good for anyone.

[squirecam]

17. Exactly

[jcmaine72]

32. No, anarchic BS.

These a-holes seem like they just want to see the world burn. I'm a proud leftist, and a doctrinaire Socialist at that, and I would never endorse such a digusting attack against Joe Biden.

These people are not leftists. They are anarchists, and just a small number of anarchists at that. They don't mean anything.

7. Trump and the Russians love this

[Dem2]

8. Dumb. Also irrelevant.

Kind of a remote story, though I can see activists making it seem like a bigger story than it is.

[awesomerwb1]

9. Highly doubt there's any Biden supporters

in that group. They say that to try to "legitimize" their group. No sane supporter of any candidate would approve of bringing a coffin to yell at their candidate to drop out.

[cwydro]

10. I'm not supporting Joe, but this is ugly.

And stupid.

[NYMinute]

12. We all know whose supporters they are of course nt

[FloridaBlues]

14. Sick people.

[dalton99a]

15. But all campaigns do this

[Scurrilous]

16. Seems to be going around.

he hated that a good Commie got ousted by Clinton and General Wesley Clark

18. Pretty scummy thing to do, on many levels.

[Laelth]

19. Not at all funny. Only marginally clever.

I'd call it a fail. Glad they're not Pete supporters.



-Laelth

[highplainsdem]

21. No, they're not Pete supporters. They hate Pete, brag about coining the "Wall Street Pete" chant.

See the replies here for more info about them. And the article I linked to has the "Wall Street Pete" boast.

[cwydro]

22. Pretty obvious who they are.

Same ole, same ole. Smh.

[highplainsdem]

23. See reply 3. They insist their members aren't just Sanders supporters.

But I'd be shocked if they have a single Biden supporter left at this point.

[cwydro]

25. No kidding.

Really ugly kind of protest, and that seems to be a common characteristic of these “supporters.”

[Laelth]

24. Yeah. I heard they coined that phrase.

Too bad. Looks like they've actually done some good in NY in the past, but this stunt was just a poorly-thought-out fail. Sigh.

20. Couldn't get much more tacky

Democrats eating their own, that's a winning strategy.

[redstateblues]

26. Where are all the BS defenders?

[Cha]

28. They're so ghoulishly desperate.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. Made the mistake of clicking on the Twitter thread

A pretty vile bunch who are full of themselves.

[sheshe2]

30. Classy

[betsuni]

31. Disgusting.

[jcmaine72]

33. NY Post, stirring the shit pot again.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if these six knuckleheads were all NY Post employees who agreed to play anarchists for a couple of hours to get promotions out of the mailroom.

I'm surprised so many here are lapping up this swill. Consider the source. There's a reason why any threads containing links to the NY Post usually get roundly dismissed around here and often locked. This story should be no different.

[highplainsdem]

35. If you'd bothered at all to read the OP and check the links, instead of just trying to dismiss it

because these are leftwing activists protesting against Biden in a particularly vile way, you'd have seen that the group I identified had posted very proudly about their stupid demonstration on their official Twitter account.

[krissey]

41. Sanders supporters are stirring that shit. How about a coffin for Sanders seeing how he had a heart

attack and refuses to release his medicals. Fair game?

[renate]

34. what horrible, horrible, horrible people

If they aren't paid Russian bots in human form, they might as well be.

[Cha]

36. More exposure..

[NurseJackie]

38. Knells ... not nails.

[MustLoveBeagles]

39. Oh no they didn't!!!

Vile and utterly tasteless. What do they hope to achieve with this bullshit? They've just undermined any good they've done in the past and going forward. Stupid, Stupid, STUPID!!!!

Kicking with disgust.

[Cha]

40. Sick

[Gothmog]

42. This stunt is disgusting
