2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I'm old, white, liberal, female and disgusted. [View all]Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)That's another one. Like how most of the the "Misogynistic attacks on Senator Warren" you mention were generally some form of "I disagree with you and think you're wrong", often coming from female sanders people.
But again, these things were deliberately spun in a way to propel a narrative. You know, the "violent Berniebros in Nevada" where there wasn't any actual, um, violence.
In fact, the only documented act of violence I've seen on our- the Democrats- side- aside from some clearly Latino protesters egging a Trump supporter, also spun as Sanders's fault- was the male actor who attacked a female Sanders supporter.
Again, the narrative is the narrative so it must be true, even if it's a known factual lie.
What about the nonstop blather accusing Sanders of being a pervy author of rape porn zomg!?!?! Or the thinly veiled Anti-semitism around the dreaded "commie kibbutz"? (among other things)
Sanders supporters were more vocal online because Sanders supporters have been, by and large, younger than Hillary's people. One group, demographically, is more represented on twitter, the other is more likely to still be unsure about this internet thingy. Which was part of the reason Brock had to hire people to troll.
