IGNORANT Bernie Bros must END their name calling!!! - Third-Way Manny

[Bubzer]

I was perusing the Boston Globe this morning, and THE TRUTH hit me square in the head:
College students backing Clinton are frustrated with ‘Bernie Bros’

Well, of course they're frustrated! Katie Kamins, a whip-smart sophomore at George Washington University, tells of getting "a lot of negative feedback" from roving packs of crazed Bernie Bros. Even more...

“It’s frustrating from my perspective that he’s getting so much support when this is her time,” Kamins said. “I feel like there’s a lot of ignorance among college students in regards to their support for Bernie.” Yes, Ms. Kamins, it's her time, but instead of accepting the inevitable, those the ignorant Bernie Bros just make empty proclamations about "choosing the Party's candidate through a voting process". LOL! I'll bet the poopyheads even engage in name-calling!
Interestingly, a number of other articles about the Bernie Bro plague appeared at the same time, e.g.,

Bernie Sanders supporters get a bad reputation online
http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-35422316

The bros who love Bernie Sanders have become a sexist mob
http://mashable.com/2016/01/29/bernie-sanders-berniebros/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial#gZ01sm3NImqT

Since we know that these pieces showing up at the same time can't possibly be a coordinated hit against Team Commie, the inescapable conclusion is that everyone's finally had enough of Bernie's campaign being little more than a seething mass of male hatred against a STRONG WOMAN! And if they haven't had enough, we'll try this meme again in another week or two - eventually it will work.

17. thanks for the link--that's a very good point that we have to look out for "Dunham feminism"

that goes after a prog because he's a wicked MAN; or the rent-a-rads that NIMBYs hire to keep THOSE people away from their neighborhoods: there's always people willing to shout "We will NOT be silenced!" whenever someone else tries to talk ...

(and as everyone else will tell you, Manny Goldstein got purged from DU in November but always pretended to be a DLCer voice)

10. Glenn Greenwald has an excellent rebuttal to this particular clinton/third way bs

The concoction of the “Bernie Bro” narrative by pro-Clinton journalists has been a potent political tactic – and a journalistic disgrace.

These guys are making it so easy to call them republicans with their false smears & deceptive tactics.

To me, a thirdway dem is worse than a republican. At least republicans are honest about being *sses & they don't try to label themselves as something they are not.

[Motown_Johnny]

11. Irony. Some just can't grasp it.

Funny how many of them support Hillary.

[navarth]

12. Manny Lives!!!

It's excellent that he's getting re-posted here. Like he never left!!

The only thing I miss is the humor as he punished his attackers with more humor. Priceless.

20. I thought that dude got banned?

Why post his stuff here?

[Hekate]

21. He sure did get banned

Years and years of trolling, but there are definitely people who think that's cute.

Jury: I am referring to a BANNED person.

[polly7]

24. He never fucking trolled.

Some just couldn't understand satire ........ and then even more couldn't handle truth.

[Hekate]

25. What are you, Fox Mulder? "You can't handle the truth!"

JURY: We are discussing a BANNED person and are disagreeing on the fine points of satire.

[polly7]

39. LOL. Intelligent!

(I hope that wasn't supposed to be funny in any way. )

[Bubzer]

40. You're confusing Fox Mulder (X-Files) for Colonel Jessep (A few good men).

Google is your friend

[JTFrog]

76. He was a troll of the highest order.

And so are many of his followers on that other site.

[polly7]

80. Oh myyyyy ............ you didn't get him.

That's ok. Satire and truth isn't for everyone. He was a long-term member who contributed greatly here and was much admired. It's telling that over 500 people followed him to that 'other site!!!' in two days. ( http://jackpineradicals.org/content.php - really great place,) you should go read, as I'm absolutely sure you're a bit mixed up with the address. ( http://jackassradicals.com/main - this is the site that stalks and goes nutso over posters here they've hated for years.)

[JTFrog]

83. I'm not going to go read the cavers at jackpineradicals so you can quit linking to that cesspool. nt

[polly7]

85. Sure ........ just make crap up and run. No problem. nt.

[JTFrog]

88. I'm not a fan of sites that do nothing but trash Democrats and DUers.

That may be your thing, but it's not mine.

You have yourself one of those nice days now.

[polly7]

89. Jackpine Radicals NEVER mentions DU'ers or trashes Democrats - unless discussing the issues

they're campaigning on is considered trashing.

See ...... I knew you were confused.

[JTFrog]

90. Riiiiiight. lmao. n/t

[polly7]

92. Go have a look. Find something and bring it back.

You'll be there for days and in the end will have nothing .... but give it a try. There's not even any 'hidden forums', like on yet another site.

Most people at least pretend to back up their claims.

[JTFrog]

93. I'd rather keep my breakfast down.

Having previously seen a sample, there is never a need to go back.

Besides, I'd wager that they are much more careful about it now.

You have fun with it.

[polly7]

96. Yeah, the administrators got rid of that right now, and posted a warning for everyone immediately.

Which was agreed to and 'liked' by hundreds - also immediately. They have no interest in people here. Much more important things for them to discuss and work on.

Try harder.

[R B Garr]

26. Exactly! Very obvious, too.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

81. Isn't it great that even though he was banned, we can still read his posts?

I love Manny.

[Autumn]

45. Why not? It's posted from another web site.

There is noting in the TOS or SOP that prohibits members from posting articles written by people who are not members here.

[Hekate]

46. LOLZ, I knooow. Isn't that a kick? Sooo amusing.

[Autumn]

47. Manny is always amusing. I bet the alerts on this OP are not amusing though. Most likely bitter

As soon as certain people post in the thread that's usualy a tell the jury alert has failed and then the SOP alert are sent to the hosts. The longer it's open the meaner they will get. My favorite alert sent in to the hosts on a Manny OP was the one that called for the banning of that "durnken pr**k" with no asterisks of course, she did manage to spell that part right

[rhett o rick]

58. Yes he was banned as were others that didn't fit the mold. You might think it would be

heaven to ban all progressives but you'd end up with a mirror of the HRC Group which must not be the "end-all" because HRC supporters venture out into the real world.

Alerting, locking, hiding, banning, and grave-dancing are traits I associate with conservatives. Lock or ban what one doesn't agree with.

[Warren Stupidity]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1107585

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is terribly inappropriate for a host of the main forums to be scolding DU'ers like this. Particularly since he sits in judgment of the alerts in the host's forum. Aside from that issue, this post is rude and insulting.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Feb 1, 2016, 06:01 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I pretty much feel that almost anything is acceptable right now if it's not over the top.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: A forum host should know better!
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Fascistic.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: the only rude thing is the alert
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: WTF?
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: OK, so alerting on a post complaining about abusive alerts makes sense?

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[Mbrow]

69. You beat me to the post!

Thanks I was on the jury, #5

[rhett o rick]

71. Thanks for posting. nm

[madfloridian]

22. Why not?

He's a clever writer and blogger.

Is there a rule?

[Blue_Tires]

30. I was just asking...

I had him in ignore anyway so I don't know what kerfuffle led to the ban hammer... But there must be some reason why he's no longer with us.

[senz]

63. It was a bogus banning.

[Blue_Tires]

102. I've been here a long ass time

And off the top of my head I can't think of more than five bannings I had a serious problem with over a 13 year span

[1StrongBlackMan]

104. He was banned for indicating that he would not support HRC, if she got the Democratic nomination ...

and, more damningly, advocated that other DUers do the same.

[rhett o rick]

70. Manny was an avid Sanders supporter but worse was that he was irreverent.

The authoritarians hate irreverence. Manny wouldn't "sit down and shut up" like the authoritarians demand.

[Blue_Tires]

101. I don't "sit down and shut up" and I'm still here

Granted, I didn't have Manny's off color wit, but still

[rhett o rick]

105. As I don't know you I will take you at your word, but I hope we agree that

not "sitting down and shutting up" means supporting the 99% and not the 1% and the status quo. Speaking out to end poverty in lieu of supporting the ever increasing profits of Goldman-Sachs and Wall Street. Speaking out to end Prisons For Profits, unfair drug laws and sentencing, and militarization of local police (all the things that HRC supports).

Those that want to continue the corruption of our government by the Big Money are the ones that want us to "sit down and shut up".

Millions are turning out, enthused for the first time that there may be a chance to get change that is meaningful, change that eliminates the Big Money corrupt culture.

[Bubzer]

23. Why post it? Because his writing is often thought provoking and insightful. That's why.

He was one of the most appreciated writers here. Just because an admin kicked him off the site doesn't mean his comments are any less insightful.

[Blue_Tires]

31. The mere fact that some thought of him as "one of the most appreciated writers here"

only goes to show how far DU has fallen in the time I've been here

(that's no reflection on Manolo, that's just a reflection of DU in general)

[madfloridian]

36. Wow, that's really kind of insulting to our intelligence, don't you think?

[Number23]

38. NAILED. IT.

[Bubzer]

41. Ahhh good ole Number 23... I thought you were blocked. Thanks for poking your head up.

Problem solved.

[Number23]

50. Your nonsensical rambling adds to my enjoyment

I don't have the first clue who you are but since you seem to think that you know me, allow me to give you some friendly advice. Tip: Only Skinner has the capacity to "block" someone from General Discussion: Primaries and he only does that when people are tombstoned.

So I honestly don't know what's funnier. You thinking that you have or could "block" me from one of the main forums or your desire to do so because I typed "Nailed It" to another poster. Either way, both are pretty freaking hilarious.

And let me make sure to copy and paste your response before you "mistakenly" hit that self-delete or edit button.

64. How kind of you to provide translation services.

Everyone needs a hobby, I guess.

66. Just wanted to point out the obvious.

If you need any more help, give me a shout.

[Number23]

109. No need to waste the small bit of time you have between time outs on me

Which, you'll recall, I've said to you many times before.

But thanks for the ever so generous but completely unnecessary offer.

[polly7]

110. Huh? nt.

[Bubzer]

43. Your "fact" is only opinion. Ours obviously differ.

[rhett o rick]

59. So you want to ban those that you don't agree with. That's certainly not "politically liberal". nm

[sheshe2]

65. Hmmmm~

Interesting. You own own the jury.

37. As usual, Manny hits the nail on the head so hard

he drives it all the way through the board.

[sabrina 1]

42. This Bernie supporter garbage was always a Talking Point, lol, I know they think people are buying

it but they should get out in the real world and hear the reaction to their Corp Funded Talking points. It just demonstrates even more how much that Corp money is harming our elections.

Social Media blows their talking points apart as fast as they churn them out.

[grntuscarora]

49. DURec for 3rd Way Manny.

It is was delighted to see his post re-posted here.

I can understand why a small group here hate him.
Manny was very good at holding up the mirror.

[840high]

53. +1

[blue neen]

57. Except the mirror was always reflecting Manny.

[randome]

91. You can tell by a poster's obsessive habit of making OPs and rarely entering threads by others.

Manny was always in love with the 'sound' of his own posts.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Birds are territorial creatures.
The lyrics to the songbird's melodious trill go something like this:
"Stay out of my territory or I'll PECK YOUR GODDAMNED EYES OUT!"[/center][/font][hr]

[polly7]

94. Jealousy is such an ugly emotion.

And Manny didn't post that here.

For all the years he was a very valued contributing member here he participated in probably thousands of other peoples' threads. What are you talking about??

[randome]

97. The vast majority of his posts were in OPs and then belittling anyone who disagreed with him.

He's skilled at being a one-trick pony, I'll give him that. But everything he ever writes is the same recycled crap. IMO.

It always starts with stating something he doesn't believe and then he goes on from there. Every. Single. Time. He probably uses a Microsoft Word template.

[polly7]

98. Most people here - and there would disagree with you.

His threads rarely failed to make the Greatest page and always had hundreds of replies. He was able to make people think and laugh without being rude or demeaning. Kindness too, despite those who couldn't handle satire and truth. That's why so many miss him here yet, and why so many followed him over there.

You should post a list of your OP's. Not sure if I've ever seen one - or one that I remember, I should say.

[GoneOffShore]

107. "Her Time"! Really?

WTF is that about?

It's not HRC's time, it's the voter's.

It wasn't "her time" in 1992 or 2004 or 2008. Why should now be any different?

[John Poet]

61. "Her time" was 2004, but Hillary didn't have the political courage

to take on George W. Bush and Dick Cheney--- besides, she was kinda on their side with that whole Iraq war thing...

Wish you were here in person, TWM. Yeah, you're there, but here needs more of you.

...now lets round up some Bernie Bros and run skidding through all the threads calling NAMES!

[NCTraveler]

72. Love how far Manny stretches it.

Very similar to Goodman trying to write as if he is a part of the left.

[randome]

74. Like the Bundy Bunch trying to make it seem all about 'rights'.

It's the same one-ring circus it always was. Just recycled whining.

75. Third-way Manny can kiss my ass.

And linking to a site that is just as bad as the cavers is inappropriate.

[polly7]

77. Obviously, you've never read there.

They're a very large group of actual thinking people who discuss politics and are genuinely working to get their representatives elected. The best of the best. You must be confusing http://jackpineradicals.org/content.php with http://jackassradicals.com/main Go have a look, I bet you'll recognize some friends!

[JTFrog]

78. No thanks. I don't want to have to shower again.

jackpineradicals is a fucking cesspool.

[polly7]

84. Of what?

There's not a single thread in the whole site that's anything like what you're probably more accustomed to here (the place where they skewer people here on that list ... you know what I'm talkin' about). http://jackassradicals.com/main

The two are absolute, complete opposites.

[JTFrog]

86. I don't know shit about that site.

You must be a fan cuz you keep linking to it.

But I do know that jackpineradicals is a fucking cesspool.

[polly7]

87. Riiiiiight. lmao. nt.

[Autumn]

100. Yeah I guess any site that doesn't trash DU or DUers and posts positive articles about a

Democratic candidate they support is s cesspool. I consider NJMavs site to be a cesspool and of course the 2 that Hillary supporters have started are rather unsavory since all those 3 site only do just that. Trash DU and DUers. .

[panader0]

103. Did you miss the pages lifted from the Hillary site and posted here

before it became a secret society? You have your "facts" backwards. Jackpine is a great site.

[Enthusiast]

99. K&R! This post should have hundreds of recommendations!

Way to go, TWM!

[Maedhros]

106. Anyone who uses the term "Bernie Bro" as a serious criticism is an asshole.

There is no other way to put it.

[Tarc]

108. I use it all the time

There is a small yet vocal subset of the Sanders Camp that is virulently misogynistic an hateful. I do not believe the "Bros" represent Sanders himself or most of his supporters, but this tiny group of people is doing their candidate more harm than good.
