Why would the OP do that?

Is it because their candidate is going down and they are reaching for anything? I think so.

There are trolls and there are agents provocateur but actual voters pretending to support Sanders? Nah.

What would be the point?

Instead of voters.

I do think a lot of the Bernie Bro types are trolls, and I think DU has a fair amount of them making outrageous posts in order to cause problems and keep things stirred up. I also think there are trolls pretending to be Hillary supporters for the same reason, to stir things up.

His so called "satire" sucked. His anti Obama posts pretty much said it all, that and he finally was banned from DU.

Why are you dredging up his old posts? Why are you pretending to be ignorant of him?

Do you have a point?

His so called "satire" anti Obama, anti Hillary crap is disgusting. My point is Manny was calling his followers "Bernie Bros" some time back, so is he also a Clinton supporter who is trying to make Bernie look bad?

The word is used to smear Bernie, and his supporters as racist, sexist shitlords, or the kind of douchebags straight out of Animal House.

They take the usual noise that comes from a few idiots on the Internet, point fingers, and howl "THEY'RE ALL LIKE THAT!" and they make a clever little smeary name for them.

Just like how they came up with "Obama Boys" back in 2008.

As far as that OP you linked to is concerned, I think your snark meter is broken.
