I have yet to meet a Bernie Bro who was anything but a white, middle class know it all, the kind of person who naturally takes on the role of Explainer. They are people who used to stay out of politics because it's a goddamn hassle, but now they think politics is yet another path to Getting What They Want. Because they are naturally smarter than the rest of us, they've been doing their research of conspiracies and underground lore that the rest of us couldn't possibly understand. They and Bernie are The Ones we've all been waiting for! THEY ALONE CAN FIX IT!!!! If they want your opinion, they'll send some goons around to beat it out of you.

What are you talking about ? “ they'll send some goons around to beat it out of you”? You have fallen for the MSDNC mythology of ‘bernie bros’. Read a book or watch DemocracyNow.org or read counterpunch.

I do, and I already have. As OP noted, Bernie Bros are hostile, aggressive, ill-informed naifs. And I agree with OP.

This just sealed the deal for Trump. Bernie is the nominee = a ton of "never socialist" democrats staying home or voting for Trump. Biden wins = a ton of "only Bernie" losers stay home and don't vote at all. The ineptitude of the democratic party is almost scary.

It's so EZ to forget, but the 'democratic' National Committee is a PRIVATE CORPORATION beholden soley to ITSELF and not to the Electorate and certainly not to Democrats. And can break its own Rules with impunity and no one can do a damn thing about it.

Kinda Sad, ain't it?
But it's True.

"However Sander's "supporters" are just awful. At a time when the nation needs unity to ensure the nation swings to the left, they are only willing to support a massive swing rather than recognizing that just getting to the center right now is essential."

We (Dems) have been moving to the 'Center' for so long, it's hard to remember (for some) that the Republicans have been moving insidiously so fucking Far to the so-called right ever since Ronny Raygun swapped weapons for money with the Iranians that the 'center' is now fascist lite.

And if covering everyone's Health -- especially with COVID-19 dropping everyone under two and over 60 -- is "Radical,'' then we best 'radicalize' ASAFP -- oh, and by doing so, JOIN THE REST OF THE fucking INDUSTRIALIZED fucking WORLD.

Do my cuss words make me 'just awful'?

I think Appeasment, in time of Crisis, is just awful.
GO, Bernie! And let US join the rest of the Civilized World.

Excellent work chumming the waters. The school of minnows just came rushing at this one. It's amazing how little they can help themselves.

I have nothing good to say about Biden. He was present and complicit in bankruptcy reform, which saddled the young with inexpungeable debt; the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court appointment; the launch of the Iraq War and so much more. Biden SUCKS, and now I have to vote for him because of Trump. I don't like it, either, and it's a tired political narrative to be sure.

Your delicate feelings were hurt and that is why we can't have healthcare. It's why Portland State will wither and dies because of no federally funded free tuition. It's why there will be no student debt forgiveness.
I have nothing but abject contempt for the delicate feelings and moronic shortsightedness of the erstwhile Warren "but the Bernie bros" supporters. Enjoy the fascism YOU have let in.

Whoa, Dorothy, Good one.

@9 You mean the fascism that was let in in 2016, right? Because blaming Elizabeth Warren or her voters for what fascism is already here is blatant denial of reality and revision of history.

Fascism slithered into the WH in 2016 because, despite winning the popular vote, Trump got the EC (thanks to white people, mostly white women). I have nothing but contempt for every single person in this country who pretended/rationalized/lied to themselves and others/whatever the fuck Hillary Clinton was not a viable candidate against the dangerous, incompetent, incoherent, incompetent shit bag currently squatting in the White House.

Fascism slithered into the WH because Bernie Bros. were pissed Bernie didn't get the nomination. Bernie never should have run for president again. Period. He was pissed and believes he is owed the presidency, just like every other white man that ran. And now we're down to which old white man is going to be in the WH for the next 4 years. Placing blame on Elizabeth Warren supporters for whatever happens is utter bullshit (and I wasn't a Warren supporter until I had to be and now I don't know what the fuck I am going to do other than vote for the guy who isn't Trump, which is not saying much and honestly is just one level shy of not giving a fuck - however I will not stay home and not vote).

It is remarkable to me that Bernie supporters demand Elizabeth Warren support Bernie and that her supporters support Bernie when both Bernie and his supporters were insanely nasty to her and her supporters AND even more so to Hillary Clinton and her supporters. Maybe Elizabeth Warren supporters don't want to support Bernie (doesn't mean they won't).

The point is telling people they have to vote for Bernie or they are casting a vote for fascism is bullshit. Fascism is here. Whether it's Bernie or Biden won't matter much to many and to most (because this country is stupid beyond all comprehension) Bernie is just as much as a NO vote as Trump.

We are all supremely fucked as basically the status quo of old white man destroys the country (as always) will continue for at least 4 more years. All because this country is of fucking hate filled and misogynist.

PS Biden should not have run either. He thinks he is Barack Obama and he is not.
