I was a Bernie supporter in 2016 and now support Warren. Back then, I thought all the talk of misogynistic “Bernie bros” was trumped (ahem) up. Now... holy shit, I think the Clintonistas were right. Go into any Sanders web forum and the hate for Warren is visceral. Just look at all the comments on Twitter when she got

I don’t. Maybe it is his base that colors my view of him.

Yes. Anecdotally, I know a number of Bernie supporters who basically seem to want to vote for him or nobody. I don’t really get it.

Never mind seeing her actually execute progressive ideas, not just pay them lip service and stay “independent.” 

Shhhh....You’ll upset all the Messiah worshippers here who believe he’s a holy creature who isn’t your “typical” politician and who would never associate with anyone who is a part of the swamp.

Came here to say this - the flaw in the logic of this article is that Bernie will never, ever drop out. And if he did, he would never share resources. He’s Nader 2.0, to a tee, savior complex and all.

Sexists: Overt sexists (see the criticisms of Warren being a “school marm” type). Subconscious sexists. People who don’t consider themselves sexist but also think a woman can’t win so they won’t vote for her.

Bernie will never drop out. He’s still all pissed over losing to Hillary in 2016 and he knows, beyond any doubt, this is absolutely his last shot at the brass ring.

Whiny Bernie fanboys are going to be the death of us all.

Does the store have Laoganma SPICY CHILLI CRISP, though?? That stuff is habit-forming - it’s a bit spicier than the one you tried, it also has sichuan peppercorn for a tingle, and it has fried shallots (I think?) so it adds awesome texture. We’ll eat it in my house just on rice but I’ll also finish simple veg dishes

If this happened to Warren, Splinter would be calling for her to drop out and endorse Bernie. If it happened to Biden, Splinter would report him legally dead. If it happened to Hillary Clinton in 2015-16, Splinter would publish Breitbart-like conspiracies about her health problems.

Don’t worry...someone will find a damning email from the DNC to Bernie’s circulatory system.

but... Biden’s had that bloody eye... and the Splinter team medically diagnosed him with dementia!

Right?!!!! 

This is one of those minor, not-worth-a-headline stories, eh?

We can hope. This might be the only thing that can diffuse the crazier parts of his base. Although, being unable to blame Clinton or the DNC might short out their brains.

Hope Bernie recovers and wish him the best.

I remember when they demanded Hillary drop out after being treated for pneumonia. Bernie is probably done.

Holy Shit, Splinter might explode!!

Yes, definitely a very good sign that he’s ready for four years in a job that ages everyone who takes it by fifteen in the course of that term.
