2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Sanders Supporters Overly Zealous and Divisive [View all]
It will be a hard fall brought on by those who "support" him most. I do wonder if this is how America elects Donald Trump....
Taking apart Al Franken on Facebook is akin to mutiny in my estimation. The lack of respect for traditiinal democrats shows a real intolerance I never imagined was percolating here. And you will lose needed allies. Wasn't this the "no attacks" campaign?
And it goes out to Paul Krugman as well.

I'm sick at heart. I've been blocked by both groups for asking questions. And I really don't want to be here after 12 years of being registered on DU.
So bash away. That is what this place has come to and it is depressing as hell.

Their level of wrathful and spiteful language, as a group, is disheartening. Sanders doesn't talk

Bashing DUers or DU is not allowed at JPR. Unlike HillaryClintonSupporters.com, where it's SOP.

When an op is started to whinge about one group it's only fair to provide a little perspective.

Read the BBC article. It's Bernie's problem because his supporters online presence is negative.
