There is NO way I’m going to be the first to bitch about how our Notifications are being displayed and the shitty way kinja processes them now. Yes, I like to answer replies, but I always get sent to MY OWN post instead of the post replying to me. This is nuts.

*looks at the greys*

Shut the fuck up tomato. 

I was a tepid supporter of Bernie in 2016, but not today. I’ll tell you the difference between Bernie and Warren: Warren has a well constructed platform of interwoven policies and plans for the future. The talking points they both spout are similar, but Warren has done the groundwork and the math.

This comment epitomizes why people are turned off so much by Bernie supporters and why as a result it’s dooming Bernie himself. Bernie Bros are more concerned about saying “I told you so.” than the actual issues. You want a pat on the back?

There’s no way you haven’t, it’s been everywhere. The bullshit from Jacobin alone has been widely mocked, and you can see the abuse in responses to anyone to talked about it. 

Yes, there are experts who look at botnets and disinformation. You can follow them on Twitter like I do.

No, it’s not. Most of it is legitimate. This is something that drives experts on the topic insane. Dudebra linked it to Russia! It’s absurd. The vast majority of assholes on social media are just assholes. Inauthentic accounts do exist, but most of them jump on pre-existing trends. I’ve not seen any evidence that any…

The conspiratorial rhetoric commenters in this very thread are spouting is indeed rather astonishing.

Go figure, the asshole dismissed this. Don’t let the evidence get in the way of your persecution complex I guess. 

Read. The. Medium. Piece.

Read the fucking Medium piece. There’s so many of you charlatans in these responses who didn’t bother to do the basic standard of research before spewing conspiracy theories.

Yeah, you are absolutely HORRIFIED at the racist attacks; so much so that you ignored it and wrote a novel length post about the “process” for endorsement.

Thank god you have your priorities down. Not the abhorrent racism and abuse. But that they didn’t endorse Sanders!  The nerve!  What names shall we call them?

There is definitely overlap in the “angry young white men” demographic (although to be fair some of the worst trolls are women) who don’t realize that they are displaying a sense of entitlement when they don’t get their way.

I love all the un-self-aware commenters who are like, “This seems fake! Bernie Bros would never act this way! It must be trolls and impersonators!”

For fuck’s sake, thanks for proving my point. This thread is a dumpster fire already.

Raise your hand if you aren’t surprised?

Yeah, no. I see multiple people trying this bullshit, including one tying this to Russia. These are real people. Some of them are prominent. Jacobin for example has been all in on the “promote conspiracy theories” train.

I got called a centrist for saying I supported Warren over Bernie. There’s no reasoning with children.
