I find this fascinating:

If you go to GD-P there are shit-ton of threads working basically the same angle: That Sanders supporters are upset, that Sanders has a loosing strategy, etc.

Examples from the first page:
Coping strategies when your candidate is losing in polls.

Will Bernie's outburst in Baltimore hurt him in the polls?

Bernie Sanders’s one-dimensional campaign is hurting him badly

Bernie Sanders’ biggest limitation

Is Sanders making a tactical campaign mistake?

Recent events expose Bernie as not ready for primetime

And my personal favorite just from an irony (or pathological projection, you pick) standpoint....
Dear Bernie supporters: why do you think browbeating supporters of other candidates
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=889215

What I find most amusing is the feigned 'concern' for Sanders and his supporters.
Oh deary me how will we all cope?
I suggest we all call the treads out for what they are: ratfucking.
And just sit back with the and and enjoy the show.
Because that is what this is, political theater by the people who think nothing of bullying to silence those who refuse to cozy up to the establishment.
GOTV. Talk to friends and family and shock these guys over the next 6 months!

condescending. As if neither he (nor we) know what we're doing. Oh Noes! Let them show us the error of our ways! They're sooo afraid we'll win despite all the fcuk ups that only THEY can see!

In an entirely predictable turn of events, they tried to turn it into a "Bernie supporters are being offensive to Latinos, we're so concerned about this". It really was a deliciously hilarious post, before it got hidden.
