We already knew this did we not? Hillary Clinton (Group)

[fleabiscuit]

How could people not understand? There's going to be pushback from all the vitriol.

“He lost my vote at 2 a.m.”
**********
“…It comes as Sanders, the underdog candidate who trails in the delegate count despite a string of electoral wins in recent weeks, has stepped up his attacks on a political system he says is rigged for Clinton and a corporate media he says wants him to lose.

His increasingly hostile tone can be a combustible mix with a group of supporters who, in many cases, are new to the mechanics of party politics, delegate lobbying and campaign messaging. As a campaign so heavily focused online, it is especially vulnerable to the Internet’s darker impulses….”

1. Sanders has lost control of his own campaign, which is sad. Or, what is worse...

...he may actually think this is okay. This is no way to behave if you don't want to be branded as Sandbaggers.

5. He's created a monster!

And now that monster is "feeling the Bern."

2. Bernie is not in charge anymore

His supporters are pulling his strings. Remember the Bernie that started his campaign? He's no longer with us.

3. Bernie is way over his head

I really think he went into this expecting rainbows and puppies. Our presidential election system is really, really tough. He has seen more success than he imagined, and it went to his head. However, he has no real idea how to run a large-scale campaign, and he has lost control. He has rabid followers who have bought into far too many right-wing talking points.

4. If he was in charge it probably would not be as bad, too many chiefs

And no one doing the necessary work.

6. We knew it... but not the gory details.. thanks for providing these personal accounts, flea.

They're all like burnie sanders.. think they can barge their way in anywhere.

ETA.. "people on the internet can be jerks.." But, these are jerks in RL.

7. I don't understand why the racism is always so diminished in these pieces

Black people were attacked before anyone else was. Within weeks of him announcing his campaign and it was found out that 85% of blacks supported Clinton, that was when it started.

And once Black Lives Matter punked the hell out of Sanders it got even worse. It hasn't let up since and if anything, has only gotten worse with the "blacks are low information voters" line and "Southern votes don't count but Yeah Wyoming!!11" garbage. I don't understand why the endless attacks against black voters by this crowd is always so diminished. It certainly isn't by black people.
