This irritates me because I'm well aware that there are plenty of women and minorities who support Sanders. They are not the Bernie Bros. The very vocal white assholes on Twitter that condescended to me EVEN WHEN I VOTED FOR BERNIE IN THE 2016 PRIMARY ARE THE FUCKS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. Don't fucking mansplain me Bernie Bros.

My husband praised Liz's performance at the McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner. He did not mention Bernard once. I was shocked I tell you.
She really did do well.

The thing is, all the candidates who are left have problems. All candidates have problems. I don’t think there was a perfect candidate this time. Never has been, never will be. Especially when they spend a YEAR campaigning.

It’s very #notallberniefans. Obviously not all Bernie supporters are bros. The vast majority are awesome people. But the Bros are out there, lots of us have had first hand interactions with them, and Bernie hasn’t forcefully denounced their cyberbullying behavior. And their behavior and his tacit tolerance of it is going to hurt his ability to build coalitions to gain wider support.

I had a dream last night that Amy hit a big surge and was actually a seriously viable contender in the primaries. I'd like that to be true. Also, I think I need a politics breaks. Clearly my brain is saturated. I watched six episodes of west wing s2. It’s how I decompress lol What was seriously funny was it had the one the Ukrainian dude "This guy doesn't know 'frumpy' but he knows 'onomatopoeia?"

it was the one where he was drunk in the driveway and wouldn't leave until he met with POTUS

Yeah I'm feeling very "No shit, Sherlock " to that article. And it absolutely sucks for non-bro Bernie supporters that the Bros are so awful. I get why that would be frustrating. The author had my sympathy until this made my eyes roll right out my head "This is just more establishment propaganda meant to divide progressive voters who actually care about social justice issues so that the big money candidates can more easily get the party’s nomination."

I agree that Bernie needs to denounce any cyber bullying done in favor of him.

Because they are just going to turn around and say it is another example of "mainstream" trying to shut down the voice of the people. And say that they are forcing Bernie's hand, etc.

While I don't think he could do anything to truly stop them, it would go a long way for many people to know he emphatically does not agree with their tactics. shame might quiet a few, and at least I'd be able to say to a Bernie bro your own leader thinks you're an ass. That would be fun at least.

Also, we now know after 2016 there were a lot of Russian trolls doing this good work. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit to learn that many online Bernie Bros are more of the same.

I think this is a great attitude, but could also hugely backfire. If it doesn't matter if they are her ideas, why is she even up there? Ya know?

On one hand- this is a selfless leader, not in it for the notoriety but for the end result. On the other, women have had to be so willing to not get any credit for all of our work and ideas, and we shouldn’t have to be.

I just saw my first primary sign in the wild. Someone jammed a Yang sign into the median by the mixing bowl lol.
I really haven't seen any primary signage/stickers. There's one lady with a Pete sticker that I see from time to time but that's it.

There's one lady with a Pete sticker that I see from time to time but that's it. There is one of each in my neighborhood: Warren, Bloomberg, and Yang. Actually maybe 2 Warrens. I see a lot of Warren Bumper stickers in the wild though.

I've been doing canvassing for city council candidates for a few months and came across a single Beto sign, it's gone now. Everything else here is Trump everything. Wait no, one driveway had a car with a Bernie sticker. So I'll count that.

Tulsi is such a robot. She and Cruz must share an OS and unfortunately it seems to be Windows Vista.
