90. Just because you say you are a Bernie supporter protester, doesn't mean you are one...

Mon Jul 25, 2016, 12:39 PM

Jul 2016

Just like some of the DU Hillary supporters who say awful things, call people names in Hillary's name. I have heard things said that I am sure the candidate would never utter out of her own mouth. Things that are divisive and incendiary. Some supporters are called to disrupt. For what ever reasons or motivations. Trump has been calling for violence at our convention. His followers take that stuff seriously. That being said, as a Bernie supporter, most of us are backing Hillary Clinton for President. Doesn't mean we aren't angry over how Bernie has been minimized and demeaned by Hillary supporters. It's easy to be pro Clinton and anti Clinton supporters or their actions. Again, actions Hillary Clinton would never condone. Just as Bernie Sanders doesn't condone. As a progressive, how can you be turned from Bernie's message? You can dislike Bernie. But his message? Yikes.
