It was always a myth that Bernie supporters were uniquely rude on the internet. The establishment pushed that myth because they didn't want Bernie to be president. Which, OK, politics is politics.

But seeing that the real enemy is Trump, not random people on the internet who support Bernie, it's probably a good idea to let that myth die now that Joe is likely to be the nominee. We need those so-called "Bernie Bros" to vote for us.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

She might endorse neither, actually. MineralMan Mar 2020 #6

She will support the real Democrats in my opinion relayerbob Mar 2020 #29

Nobody called Pete and Amy disgusting names. There wasn't any anger. AGeddy Mar 2020 #12

Anybody who says "go away Bernie Bros" is an idiot AGeddy Mar 2020 #22

True. Unfortunately, the establishment and the media is full of such idiots. DanTex Mar 2020 #24

If there were "just as many", then those hashtags would be trending. AGeddy Mar 2020 #25

There are plenty of anti-Bernie hashtags, and also anti-Bernie twitter trolls. DanTex Mar 2020 #28

"There are plenty of anti-Bernie hashtags.."...BUT not nearly enough to get them trending. AncientGeezer Mar 2020 #37
