(10,704 posts)The work ahead is clear. The infantile behavior we saw at the convention was sickening in its delusional narcissism. Booing John Lewis? Blocking subways so people had to walk blocks in the heat? Disrupting speakers with disrespect? Burning flags?
Looked like a bunch of spoiled brats who had their say but did not get their way. If at this point they are not on board to work to defeat Trump and not going to vote in November what is the point of them?
Bernie got his time in the sunshine and he and the crew got more than fulsome recognition.
Such a shame to see that the foul behavior of his supporters carried on well beyond the sell-by date. The primary is over. Sanders lost after a very good fight. The sick behavior of those "dudebros" was despicable. And anyone who was subject to it has tales to tell of their bullying and arrogance. It was often sexist, always ignorant and sometimes racist. Sanders failed to disavow them during the primary and his failure to lead was notable. Riding a wave of anarchist anger is one thing. Taking no responsibility is another.
The issues matter and can continue to be debated and argued for. But the acting-out behavior needs to stop
Bernie unleashed some pretty foul brownshirt types in the course of this election. And then he lost them. They are are not Democrats and should stop pretending they are.
So - we don't need them. Because they have already made up their alleged minds. And if some of them actively support and vote for Trump - I would not be surprised.
