In reply to the discussion: The one thing that will stop Bernie Sanders.....his supporters [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)We have some of everybody in there. People who LOVE Hillary with a capital L. People who HATE her with a capital H. And lots of people who do neither.
One thing I've found is universal though, regardless of who people are supporting, is the incredible unease that far too many Sanders supporters cause just about all of us, including other Sanders supporters. And like I said, I thought it was just on DU until I saw the #berniesoblack tag and realized it was a BOATLOAD of black people and clued in white folks who felt this way about these people.
How in God's name anyone could think that screaming at and alienating Democrats, particularly the most reliable, consistent Dem voting block in existence, is a winning strategy for their candidate is the height of unchecked, privileged stupidity. Or as the author of the "Bernie Bullying" piece in Huff Post put it, 'zealotry."
