Showing Original Post only (View all)IGNORANT Bernie Bros must END their name calling!!! - Third-Way Manny [View all]
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...
Its frustrating from my perspective that hes getting so much support when this is her time, Kamins said. I feel like theres 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

The bros who love Bernie Sanders have become a sexist mob

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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