Bernie supporters LOVE to toss shade on anyone not named Sanders, and the majority of it is shady hit jobs, and OFTEN spun up disingenuous bullshit, if not outright falsehoods (for example the PURE LIE that Zuckerburg was helping run Pete's campaign)
At times, I think Bernie gets some stick that is over the top and unfair, but mostly that goodwill has left me, as his supporters (especially the external, NON-DU ones) often do far worse
and in here, I see super dodgy posts all the time, often from pure Democratic party hating sources like the troll Sirota and that Democrat Party-hating neo-socialist rag Jacobin (and certainly from people who are sympathetic fellow travellers) or the extremely problematic site Common Dreams or that POS Nathan J Robinson (who openly calls Buttigieg a con man but still gets posted here or referenced here)
I have been one of AOC's boosters, I think she has massive potential, BUT even she is now falling into biter-mode, with her rot about 'right wing' talking points, all because a plan covers FREE uni for the bottom 80% of Americans, but doesn't hit the my-way-or-highway purity 100%)
you catch more flies with honey, but 90% of the shit coming out of the far left nether regions in the external world is pure vinegar
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
