The arrogance of militant Hillary supporters occur outside DU towards Bernie supporters

Here Adam Johnson of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, a progressive watchdog group, documents some interactions with militant Hillary activists (likely paid shills) at the Donald Trump protest at Columbus Circle, NYC.

It appears as if this creature actually derives enjoyment from telling what appears to be a non-Hillary supporter that he must vote for her in November.

What's more, it is legitimately puzzling, because I was told that a) young white men are Bernie Bros who militantly support their candidate b) Bernie supporters are racist while Hillary supporters are PC as a peach. I'm so confused after watching these videos, trying to reconcile them with the media talking points.

This part in particular stuck out to me:

"you know she's actually winning the immigrant vote by a very large margin"


I thought only Bernie supporters could be tone-deaf and treat voters as a monolith to be won and used as prizes.

That was some disgusting Hillarysplaining going on there, just shut up and do as he says while making totally false claims about her inevitability.

She's not winning my lack of a vote, then again shes' not winning my financial support ( i can do potato soup 2 days a week to send Bernie some dough ) or my support.

same applies from discussions with the 10 or so work mates i have at my 2 jobs

most being immigrants (some allowed to vote)

As for being told what to vote
i told one person who used a threat... that it constitutes terrorism by fbi definition to threaten violence against the public to change public opinion
https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/terrorism/terrorism-definition
"Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:

Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

Of course, they needed to do that to protect their movement. And try to take ours down.

I think it's funny now that they are sure she's going to win the primary- the mask has really come off.
