Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)I Don't Like Bernie Sanders, and You Can Die Mad About it [View all]
I think that Senator Bernie Sanders is a horrible candidate, and I have every right to hold that opinion and speak that opinion. But at times, it doesnt appear that way... (because) Lordy, dont you dare post that you dont like Senator Benard Sanders, because his fans will clutch their pearls and try to come for you. And we all know a few.
I am not sure why the most ardent of his supporters have little to zero respect for boundaries. Perhaps its because their candidate doesnt either. If you watch Senator Sanders, he is always in someones space, especially women, waving his hand or wagging his fingers.
Because of this, its difficult to have constructive discussions about Sen. Sanders. Many People have Sanders on the bottom of their primary lists and prefer to keep quiet about it rather than deal with the antics of his fans. Which includes but is not limited to spamming a social media post, sharing screenshots of conversations outside of personal social media spaces to invite harassment, and doxing. Often they wont or cant refute a statement so they will use laugh reacts only or respond with memes.
There are plenty of Sanders stans that have scorn for Democrats, which of course, is their prerogative. But, they want those very same Democrats to embrace them and Senator Sanders, who also shares the same contempt for the party. During a recent rally in Seattle, Washington, Sanders called out Trump and the GOP to cheers, but the cheers were louder when he called out the Democratic Establishment.
