Bernie is running for president, not the "Berniebros"

Last edited Tue Mar 1, 2016, 08:43 PM - Edit history (1)

It goes without saying that Bernie doesn't like what those idiots have posted, and he has called them out on it(HRC, by contrast, has never called out any of her supporters for their abusiveness and their false accusations of bigotry and anti-Democratic motivations on the part of Bernie and his supporters).

The "bros&quot is they are even actual Bernie supporters and that none of them are just RW trolls having a bitter, drunk laugh at the expense of both campaigns) are not the campaign OR the candidate. They are just their own ugliness, and no one bit themselves is responsible for what they do.

Their conduct should have nothing to do with the choice anyone makes in this nominating process.

That said, I hope the supporters of both candidates can find more constructive ways of expressing themselves here between now and the convention.
