Nah, but this site reports one set of behaviors and another set—for instance, an actual case of assault perpetrated by a notable Clinton supporter against a couple of liberals—goes completely unmentioned.

Don’t be intimidated by the Clinton bullies here; The Slot is extremely slanted in terms of its commentariat, much more so than its actual coverage. I would take Anna up on her offer rather than try to make a logical case to people who have no intention of listening objectively to anything you have to say. They’re…
She may have been doing what she was told (by the man whispering in her ear about one minute in), but her job in this moment was to propose new rules and take a vote, which she did, and then she blatantly ignored the opposing votes, declared that the rules passed and walked off stage.
Agreed. I’m really disappointed in how Bernie/Hillary stuff has been covered here, and especially disappointed in the way they’ve forwarded the “Bernie Bro” narrative.
Copy that and I will. It’s been tough the past couple of days to see all the coverage showing Bernie supporters as violent maniacs. People were not acting their best on Saturday, but it is not nearly as one-sided as what is being published. There were significant errors on both sides.
No, this story is about the fact that you are actively misrepresenting what happened, and perpetuating a narrative that has been discredited. It is NOT about uncovering the truth of what happened.
I’m sorry, I have to say something. I’m a Bernie supporter, and a longtime Jezebel reader, AND I was there in the room. I shot some videos that have been aired on major networks, and I actually have a relatively neutral perspective. Could you please interview me for an alternate view of what happened, instead of just…
The “Berniebro” thing squicks me out too after I learned the Clinton campaign hired tons of people specifically to go be pro-bernie trolls all over the internet. A lot of this problem was manufactured by Clinton’s team (not ALL of it, but enough that it turned the press).
Not thinking Sanders is a feminist seems a bit strange, his platform is extremely feminist. He’s been fighting for equal rights for all people his entire life. Is this a case of obnoxious bernie supporters tarnishing their candidate’s rep?
“Berniebros are just Trump supporters that don’t hate minorities, they still hate women though”
I will most likely go to the polls this November and cast a vote for Hillary, but not very happily. That bums me out too because voting for the first woman president should be exciting but it’s just not, for her. I don’t support neoliberal policy or war.
There was no “some” in PBW’s post... and “berniebros” is the slur for Bernie supporters/voters, so yah, Tanya was absolutely right to call out that BS. This line of attack really resonated a lot more than the “Obama Boys” narrative from 08.... nevermind that both were statistical abberations within the Democratic…
I am not a “bro”. I am a progressive, feminist, typically party-line Democrat woman who is #StillSanders.
thank you. Yes, we do exist, in numbers. Sorry, we don’t all think Hillary needs to be prom queen. She has so much opposition against her (save for republicans who don’t want Trump, which should worry people a lot, and DNC-lifers who needed some goddamn term limits 10-20 years ago) she’s going to make for the saddest…
Ah yes, us feminist, women Bernie supporters just don’t exist! Bernie is more pro-choice than Hillary even is. I’m tired of this false argument.
What the hell are you even going on about? That is exactly my point. He may not like the current primary system for the Democratic party but he can’t change it currently. So, yeah, its what he has to work with. So he has to work within the system as it currently exists, flaws and all.
From the description of the first video above:
A candidate for Congress explains why Sanders’ supporters got angry:
I feel like Beyonce is being quite direct, not really anything passive about it. She’s putting a personal experience, one that unfortunately is shared by many, in a political context. If that’s over your head it’s one thing, but it seems like if you’re reading a post about it and commenting on it, you give more than a…
Makes me so mad finding out a cute dress is actually a surprise romper. Apt metaphor is apt.
