Who were those people who raised hell about the TPP, the environment, the corrupt political system, etc? And who did it in a way that, heaven forbid, offended the status quo? What we are doing is a service to the country and unfortunately many Americans aren't ready to hear it because they don't realize what is going on. Let's see what some of these "Bernie Bro" spouters are saying in ten years.

in 2008 she tried using that to get White men, "hard working white men" to vote for her over a black man. This time she used it with blacks to not vote for a white man. So I wonder if it is easier to swing a group of blacks with race baiting, than group of white liberals.

"Bernie Bros" will be a forgotten blip from way back. It will barely register as a footnote in history, if it registers at all, it's undeserving of the outrage. Call it out, debunk it, counter it with facts. But don't give it the power it doesn't deserve.

Maybe we should have a "I'm no Bernie Bro" campaign or hashtag or something .... I myself am a middle aged black woman and I support Bernie.

I was asking a question. That if people think one phrase can fly but other would be screamed at. But to me both are offensive.
