People like John Lewis, Jim Clyburn, Dolores Huerta, BLM, PoC in the South..... on and on and on.......
It hurt me badly, I felt it in my soul, I cried many tears this Primary season I won't miss it when it's over.

I agree the vitriol toward civil rights icons like John Lewis, etc., and those not falling within Sanders' main demographic group was most disgusting.

(15,512 posts)Let's see, Hillary, Chelsea, DWS, Dolores Huerta, Gloria Steinhem, Madeline Albright, Barbara Boxer, could there be a pattern here? And this from the team that puffs out their chest and calls themselves progressive.
p.s. and they keep wondering why Bernie isn't catching on the way Barack did.

(15,512 posts)the NV party chair who got death threats after someone (gee, who?) tweeted her personal info all over the reddit-sphere. It seems she's torn apart the Democratic Party.

(27,813 posts)Patty Murray was actually booed off the stage a few weeks ago at a county convention in Washington state.
If Barbara Boxer and Patty Murray aren't progressive enough, then the people complaining either don't know what they're actually talking about or they're to the left of Stalin.

(1,545 posts)some of these Sanders creeps will be trying to get elected to positions in the party, or get hired for a campaign job,and they are going to wonder "Gee, why did I lose that seat on the executive committee", and no one is going to tell them, but many will know...

(1,545 posts)I'm talking about the county chairs, and the state committee members and the party staffers who have spent long years working day by day to nurture and build this party, only to see a gang of self centered assholes come in and try to tear it down.
We will remember.

(28,270 posts)Those people are real american heroes. Bernie Sanders and his bro army aren't good enough to shine their shoes!
And then they wrote off the entire south and the obama coalition as well.
That why Hillary is our nominee right now. Sanders wanted to destroy what BHO put together but they held strong against the bro revolution thank God.

(41,989 posts)That bullshit literally changed my perception of progressive politics forever. Talk the talk? Walk the walk. If people talk like a racist, I'm gonna assume that's exactly what people are.

Brutal and ugly - campaign fueled by anger, whining and blame.
