They're even calling for Warren to be primaried in 2018

By Tom McKay March 02, 2016
As news emerged that Bernie Sanders' disappointing performance on Super Tuesday had extended to a loss in progressive Massachusetts, some of his most vocal supporters began to spread a strange explanation for his defeat namely, that progressive hero Sen. Elizabeth Warren was to blame for declining to endorse him over Hillary Clinton.
And now for something I thought I'd never say: Fuck Elizabeth Warren. You've betrayed your values, state, and country.

While a Warren endorsement might have indeed tipped the balance in his favor, it probably would not have made a major difference to his ultimate showing on Super Tuesday those 17,000 voters translated to just two delegates.
So there is that. Elsewhere on the Internet Clinton Campers appeared determined to see how deeply they could alienate Sanders supporters. It is unclear what their motivation could be, other than to help Trump win in the general election, but the internets are an odd place filled with odd people saying weird shit with unclear motives.

(7,580 posts)about why Bernie lost Massachusetts....Warren can endorse anyone she wants to..with the Bernie supporters piling on Warren to support Bernie..it is no wonder she did not do do.....Bernie supporters and their antics are part of the reason Bernie lost support..I supported Bernie to begin with but me, like many others, grew tired of the pressure Bernie supporters put on others and turned to support Hillary instead.

(1,377 posts)Wow so you base your view on a Presidential candidate based on you see supporters on internet are? Please tell me I am reading your post wrong and that is not what you are saying. "Bernie supporters put on others and turned to support Hillary instead"

(1,384 posts)Yeah, let's campaign to primary a popular progressive. That worked out so well for Bernie with Obama.
Gwhittey
(1,377 posts)Seriously this guy is reading twitter and posting a news article on it? So what is point of this. Even if other people say this who support Sanders are people suppose to change their vote? Or is this just a us vs them I am better type of post? Is there no dam debates on this forum other than back in force OH no Sanders supporter called me a bad name so I am not voting for Sanders. For love of the Great Spaghetti monster stop basing your support for one candidate over what you read on internet.(Not directing this at OP just a general statement)

(449 posts)She's cautious and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Honestly, she's probably in the best position the carry Sanders' torch regarding the politics of equality.
I hope she joins the national stage come 2020/2024.

(6,994 posts)Exit polling vs the actual vote tally plus the Bill Clinton illegal action mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Exit polling was what Bernie 52-46 Hillary reported returns were Bernie 49%-Hillary 50
When there is a spread like this Exit vs Reported results usually/could be a sign of election fraud...

(12,754 posts)Come from Mrs. Clinton's operatives trying to make Bernie look bad -- just like a lot of the alleged "Bernie Bro"'stuff.
It's well known that the Clintons will play as dirty as they have to.
Hers is a very Rovian campaign.
Disgusting.
