I gotta say, some of the people who are touting themselves as enthusiastic Sanders supporters are coming off like assholes. Total, complete, nasty-ass ASSHOLES. Racialicious, rude, prevaricating, bullshitting assholes. "Duuuuuh, I am going to vote for Clinton because I recognize her NAME" was particularly rich. Because, I guess, only "some people" are "smart" and consider things like "the issues," or "experience" or other factors when choosing a candidate.
Not all of 'em are disruptors, of course, some are simply Useful Tools, egged on by the disruptors, given "high fives" and "plus ones" and other expressions of approval--but the ones that are playing very specific games, saying things that Senator Sanders wouldn't ever say on his worst day after dropping a sledgehammer on his bunion-toe, those people have an agenda. The agenda is not to elect Bernie Sanders to anything. It's also not the DU agenda to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to public office.
It's obvious these specific disruptors don't care about "Bernie!" despite their rainbow colored sig lines--otherwise they wouldn't make asses of themselves and represent him as a "leader" of a bunch of crude, hate-filled "supporters" who can so easily shop falsehoods and express characterizations about people that can only be regarded as ... intolerant.
There's nothing wrong with Senator Sanders--he's a nice guy. He's sincere, he's well meaning, he is plain spoken. You get what you see with him, make no mistake. He's not the bad guy in all this, though he's getting splashed with some of the sewage put out by those who are pretending/claiming to help him.
Some of the people holding themselves out to be his supporters, here, though--they aren't emulating any of his traits. But they are working real hard to try to divide Democrats ahead of a general election.
I'm gonna laugh at them, and point 'em out when it gets too deep. I'm not going to take them seriously, though--because that's what they want. They'll have to try to fish in some other pond~I ain't biting!
