In reply to the discussion: A word from HRC about attacks from the left... [View all]yardwork
(61,712 posts)254. I know a Bernie supporter in real life. He's become a hateful person.
It's very sad. He used to be very progressive. He probably still thinks he is. He hates black people, gay people, women (especially Hillary Clinton), and all the same people the Trumpsters hate. He wrote in Bernie in the 2016 general election.
