Bracing self for the #NotAllBerniebros revolution in 3.. 2...

Ugh, it was bound to happen! I can’t tell if “liberal misogynist” is worse than “Republican who wants to smoke pot”, but y’know, they’re all starting to blur together to me.

Yeah, it’s annoying, but I don’t reeeeeally give a shit, since I don’t think it’s a reflection of Sanders or his policies. We saw the exact same thing with Obama supporters being disgustingly misogynistic toward Hillary in ‘08. I think it’s just ... what a lot of dudes in America are like. It’s not like conservative…

they’re mad that they are being called “bros”...because it’s so hurtful and dismissive.

No, but I find it funny how many Hilary supporters call us ‘delusional’ or ‘dreamers’ or ‘unrealistic’ or ‘immature’ because we want real change.

He’s one of those “know it all” dudes in the first place, so it wasn’t a huge surprise. Normally, though, he wouldn’t come to my page and start that crap, and I do my friends the same favor. In person, he probably would say something similar to my face (see above, re: know it all), but I wouldn’t have had to listen to…

Unfortunately, it looks like (based on the comments so far) the new tactic is to pretend it’s only a small % of supporters. Apparently your friend getting harassed off FB doesn’t exist.

AND HERE COME THE BERNIEBROS!

im taking my time that’s why. As a recent US citizen and first time voter, I’ve watched from the sidelines for 29 years. I’ll make my decision when i’m damn well ready and comfortable. considering the state of this country’s political system you would think ppl would take their time with this decision instead of…

They also feed into my, probably wrong, nagging feeling of “how can an old white cishet guy ACTUALLY care about the plight of LGBT+, women and PoC in our country and put that first?!”

Yeah, the twitter/reddit Berniebros were a problem. Not just because they went after Hillary supporters, but they went after notable Hillary supporters with a passion. Gabby Giffords and Planned Parenthood’s endorsement tweets turned into complete shitshows . That’s something noticeable and it really doesn’t help…

The problem is that the Berniebros expose the sexism that is inherent in these extreme stances. We do need to address that. It reminds me how betrayed and generally disgusted I felt when Clinton ran the last time, and I read “Bitch, get the kitchen, and make me a sandwich!” a whole lot.

It was repulsive and sickening.…

And the second statement makes the first entirely irrelevant how? I’ll probably vote for Bernie in the primary, but facts about other candidates (no matter who they are) don’t render everything problematic surrounding one’s preferred candidate irrelevant.

BernieBro ^^^^

“No she’s a fucking twat,” said another. “I am of the opinion that $hillary is a fucking twat. TWAT TWAT TWAT. Bye felicia!”

Straight up, people who support Bernie Sanders but won’t vote for Clinton if she gets the nomination don’t believe in anything other than supposed liberal purity. I like Sanders, a lot. But frankly the most important things a President does are 1. nominate Supreme Court justices and 2. represent the face of America on…

This is a real problem with most Bernie related discussions recently. Early on when I first started supporting Bernie I saw so many people writing about him and his platform in ways that were open, accepting, and respectful of other opinions, but now the first thing you see on any comment on an article or facebook…

Shit man, I am voting for Bernie but I am not a blind supporter and I get shit all over by Bernie Bros. Just because you have a disagreement doesn’t mean you need 10 mean mansplaining to you how you are wrong for having feelings and opinions.

While I personally know Bernie supporters who are not awful human beings, this is the attitude of the overwhelming majority of Bernie’s fans that I see online. The fact that they’re now recognized, and the non-crazies are encouraging them to use their indoor voices, doesn’t help, because everyone’s already seen their…

It’s getting bad. As soon as Planned Parenthood endorsed Hillary, the comments on every single unrelated thing they posted on Facebook became almost nothing but Bernie-related disappointment at varied degrees of civility.
