Intimidation: The Only Thing Bernie Sanders’ Supporters Actually Do Well
Despite their many shortcomings, Berners are kinda good at hate mail
By Jon Reinish • 05/18/16 3:02pm

Over the last week, I received a flood of what can only be described as hate mail… for the first time since sixth grade. All stem from several pieces published that are critical of Senator Bernie Sanders, his presidential campaign’s messaging and tactics—and the overall demeanor of his supporters. All come from my perspective as a Democrat and a progressive onlooker. Much like the Beyhive, which descends with fury on any rumored Becky with the good hair, the Berners also lash out, unhinged, on any perceived heretic to dares question their prophetic candidate or his place in the race.

It’s been quite a wake-up call.

Among the ugliest? “Jon Reinish deserves to watch his children die of brain cancer. We all know you media bastards are trying to colour the race and you will be remembered.”

Um, wow.

1. This is stupid

Comparing recent Sanders events with the ongoing violence, threats and other BS of Trump rallies and of the general conduct of the conservative movement in general these days is ridiculous. The raucous Bernie crowd hasn't scratched the surface of what Trumpers and conservatives are doing and are capable of.

Everyone should keep their eye on the ball and ignore distractions like this liberals-attacking-Bernie-therefore-there-must-be-something-to-it bullshit.

I can't wait until the Dem convention is over and we can rally around a single candidate again. DU has been an unpleasant place to visit in recent times.

If so, let's have a talk about Henry Kissinger.
