Dear Bernie Supporters Who Behaved Like Children:

I think it’s because a lot of Hillary supporters are quiet about it. If they come out and say they support her they get a lot of vitriol spewed at them. There are definitely some rational ones, but a lot of those have realized he’s not winning. What’s left of his party are the crazies basically.

I love Bernie Sanders. I have loved him for years, ever since he emerge as the Socialist mayor of Burlington, Vermont. Never in my life did I think a Socialist could have a serious bid for presidency in this country. Hooray! I am greatly dismayed by the behavior of many of his supporters, though. They do not seem to

This is a very fair analysis of what has gone wrong with Bernie. People showing up to the rallies like he’s on a concert tour doesn’t do much on voting day if they don’t go to the polls. And they got rid of their ground game organizer guy in California, so they clearly haven’t learned their lesson if the point is to

I can’t help but notice the ones getting painted as Corrupt Establishment Cartoon Villains all seem to be women. Lange, Wasserman-Schultz, Boxer, and, yes, Hillary. Am I saying lets canonize all these women for sainthood? No - but I will say those names come up over and over again as evidence of evil corruption in a

It does not even remotely surprise me that delegates didn’t show up. My husband and I caucused for Sanders in our state; the first time we’d ever gone to a caucus. Sanders won our state, and delegates were selected at the caucus. Neither of us volunteered to be delegates. We didn’t put our names in to be delegates,

Yesterday was the primary in my home state (KY! Yeehaw!) and I have a lot of friends from college who are die-hard Bernie supporters, including many who also post very anti-Hillary rhetoric and have pledged to vote third-party or write-in if she gets the nom, and can’t be convinced that that is very stupid. Facebook

Does it honestly not bother you that Bernie supporters are sending death threats to a woman who, as far as I can tell, was just doing her job? I get wanting to have positive coverage of your preferred candidate, but any coverage of the event that leaves out the booing and death threats is still pretty slanted - it’s

I’m actually kind of pissed at the milquetoast response from Sanders more than anything. This primary season has made me question the maturity of most of the country so a bunch of entitled assholes throwing a hissy fit is not surprising , but I’d hoped Sanders would remind his supporters to act like adults.

I’m acquantainces with a die-hard Bernie supporter and am friends with him on Facebook. He was recently quoted in a Huffington Post article because he has a Facebook group trying to encourage people to march on the Dem convention to probably this exact end.

Me, either. wink wink, you know, places where brown and black people live. He’s disgusting.

The threats are bad enough, but what I was struck by was the mysogynistic nature of many (most?) of them. It’s clear this is much deeper than some politic or even personal preference differences as it relates to politics. It’s about who Lange is and what she represents to these people, and that should make people even

The lack of organizing has been the death of the Sanders campaign. They put all their money into huge rallies, TV ads, and internet presence. They trained no one. His supporters do not understand the process, so they’re all ready to believe whatever ridiculous conspiracy theory or imaginary delegate math scenarios

Also, Clinton won the NV primary election. Nothing was being stolen from these people. Blame the Sanders ground game for not having its delegates be prepared and follow the rules.
