(24,544 posts)Full "SMMMAAAAASSHHH!!!" mode. The critiques on DU about Bernie have been about his stance on guns, and his lack of discussion on minority issues. Unless I'm missing something, that's pretty much it.
These are two INCREDIBLY valid, reasonable issues. These are not smears. This is not slime. These are two real, legitimate, EXPECTED topics that people should be able to discuss and address.
But somehow, the people who want to post that Obama is trying to kill old people, is a corpo-fascist dictator, forever tout the lie that he called himself a "moderate Republican" when everyone that can read knows that never happened, and who rally behind and cheer posters who say that the 2008 election is the one election in the HISTORY of America they want to see overturned LOSE THEIR SHIT when someone dares to discuss these two legitimate weak spots in Sanders' campaign.
How many times were Obama supporters called "bots" and "cheerleaders" for drooling and fawning ONE FIFTH as much as this crowd does now?
