In reply to the discussion: Sorry, but "Bernie Bros" is the relatively BENIGN term for the vile scum-buckets to whom [View all]D23MIURG23
(2,857 posts)I didn't say or imply that the people you are calling "Bernie Bros" are representative of Sanders' supporters. The proportion of Bernie's supporters who are "Bernie Bros" is irrelevant, provided it is a non-zero number.
The actual point is that we are going to win the election by getting a certain number of votes for the Democratic nominee in the right states, and in the past we've lost those states by very narrow margins. The election doesn't care about your characterization of anyone's morals. The fact is, the more people you are willing to sneer at and label as deplorable, the lower the chance that people voting for our nominee will outnumber Trump's reliable 40% of the country. When I say I want them as "allies" I mean: if Bernie Sanders wins the nomination, I don't want those people to be dissuaded from voting for him in November. If you don't want that, you need to work on your strategic thinking.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
