Q. The likelihood that the Berniebros is a dirty political trick? (Original Post) Skwmom Feb 2016 OP
Berniebros are operatives for the vast right wing conspiracy Cheese Sandwich Feb 2016 #1
The republicans are funding pacs for Bernie. But I doubt the biggest jerks supporting Bernie KittyWampus Feb 2016 #2
They can repeat that fake meme until the cows come home. It won't make it true. n/t Skwmom Feb 2016 #5

I've found that people always resort to personal attacks when they can't attack the assertion. Skwmom Feb 2016 #4
Umm... there needs to be an assertion first. Moot point. Fearless Feb 2016 #8
Hmmm... I thought my inferred assertion was pretty strong..I really didn't think it would go over Skwmom Feb 2016 #13

Are you suggesting that Hillary is promoting the equivelent of anarchists? Fearless Feb 2016 #9

A statement and two sentence fragments don't amount to a complete idea never mind a plausible argument.

And you would IMPLY something.

A reader would INFER it.

If you're inferring something you're coming to conclusions about it.

It's the kids who think they are cool--attempting to make it uncool to be a Bernie supporter.

Obama supporters were positioned as young, starstruck flibbertigibbets who thought Obama was their messiah. They were mocked, minimized, made fun of. You name it.

This is a different angle of personal attack on a candidate's supporters--but it's the same messaging as the Obama-supporter bashing. Bernie supporters are the worst people in the world.

The Clinton-camp seems to be going with the male, hipster, millennial stereotype. A dude with weird facial hair who drinks craft beer and rides a skateboard to his job at the gluten-free, GMO-free, yogurt store downtown.

We're all Bernie Bros now! Even this middle-aged, married mom from the suburbs.

What do you want her people to do, actually start talking about substantive issues?

There's only so many times you can wave away pressing questions of marijuana legalization with "the heroin addiction crisis", silly.
