Bernie Bros Discussion

[rookie]

Yeah, probably. I've been reading a lot of Ludllum lately. Perhaps that's coloring my perception.

[Dakota Bob]

I'd challenge the Bernster to a drinking contest as well. Unfortunately, the difference between the Bernster (well, everyone for that matter) and myself is that others simply drink the liquor; I am the liquor.

Yeah so about those Bernie Bros....

Bernie Sanders doesn't want anything to do with 'em.

Bernie Sanders likes to express appreciation for his grass-roots supporters, but he is not standing by the so-called Bernie Bros.
Jake Tapper asked Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.) about the phenomenon of his backers saying sexist things to supporters of Hillary Clinton, his rival for the Democratic nomination, on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

Sanders renounced them unequivocally.

“I have heard about it. It's disgusting,” Sanders said. “Look, we don't want that crap. ... We will do everything we can and I think we have tried. Look, anybody who is supporting me that is doing the sexist things is -- we don't want them. I don't want them. That is not what this campaign is about.”

Now that's how you stop a fringe element from taking over your supporters.  You shut them down and tell them how much you don't appreciate their support.  It keeps you on message, tells undecided that you're not gonna let extremists take over your message, and keeps your message of a clean campaign squarely on track.

Ironbite-bravo to Senator Sanders.

Sorry, had to do it

This is nothing but B.S., probably from Clinton's camp since she tried the same stunt in 2008 against Obama.  Funny how Sanders' supporters are the ones called sexist when Clinton is the one basically saying, "Vote for me, I have a vagina."

Sanders doesn't have a fanatical following.  He has a following of people who believe he will improve things in this country and who don't trust Clinton.  I'm inclined to agree with them.

I've detailed on this board a number of times the cult of Bernie and how objective reality can suck it when that reality doesn't mesh with the Bernster. When I point the cult out, people generally ignore the point and then reassert conspiracies at a later date.

As for "vote for me, I have a vagina," I'll address that point later. Maybe the day after valentines.

[mellenORL]

Bernie Bros sure ain't helping, whether they're "real" or not, but neither are Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright lately, who're both definitely real....old.

[nickiknack]

I'm assuming that I'm one those members of the cult of Bernie, and you know what I'm ok with it. That being I plan on having a gathering this weekend,we might have a human sacrifice and course there will be both booze and snacks available.

[Svata]

Sounds fun! I know a person for the sacrifice, am I invited or do you already have someone slated?

[nickiknack]

Bring them on down.  FOR BERNIE!!

Keep in mind, I don't say people are in the cult of Bernie for supporting him. That I do not mind. I think you happen to be in the cult for your belief that my support for Hillary is an attempt to fight you. I think you're in the cult because you have been as rude as anyone has been to me, and I have returned your venom with logic. I think you're in the cult because you call my support for Clinton "hard-core" and state that I am not a socialist, making a direct attack on my political identity (while expecting others not to say that you cannot be a feminist for supporting Bernie). I think you're in the cult for making repeated statements that the DNC and the "mainstream media" are out to get Bernie, without a shred of credible (read: non-spurious) evidence. Combine that with your sheer refusal to admit that Bernie can make mistakes* and that is a pretty good case for the cult... And I'm not even getting into your underwear choices.**

*while you have said "I never said Bernie is perfect" you have never admitted to any one of his many flaws. Essentially, on each sub-point, Bernie is right, but "Bernie isn't always right." It doesn't mesh.
**Thongs should never have politicians on them. Not sexy. Of all the designs I have on mine, poison symbols are the most common. Followed by hearts. Then quippy innuendo. Finally, I have one with a cartoon kitty on it.
