In reply to the discussion: Why I NEVER want to hear another word about BERNIE BROS on DU again [View all]wildeyed
(11,243 posts)Another interesting thing, I did an advanced search on this forum from 3/16-3/8 for the term "berniebros". The great majority of the usage was by Sanders supporters outraged that somewhere on the interwebs, someone used that term. There were a few instances of Clinton supporters using the word in reply to BernieBro-gate outrage threads. I can count the number of times that a Clinton supporter used the word spontaneously on one hand.
Interestingly, YOUR posts on the topic were a notable percentage of the total. (note that I was not looking for your posts, specifically)
Then I searched the term "weathervane". Nearly all the usage was by Sanders supporters. A few instances of Clinton supporters using to to point our hypocrisy, etc.
Very interestingly, YOU seem quite comfortable using that smear word against Clinton supporters.
So now you can dial back your outrage about the bro thing, 'k? Pot, meet kettle and all that.....
