I sure as fuck did. So did other Bernie supporters. You seem, PFLAG to have forgotten that that OP targeted LGBT as well as African Americans. You also seem to have forgotten that several of us did the bulk of the work countering that poster. For months I objected to his racism and homophobia and also, by the way, general cross party love for Reagan and other Republicans. He had made OP's complaining that Reagan voters were seen as homophobic.

Apparently, If One Voted For Reagan, They Were Anti-Gay...

Many of you failed to stand up to him. Repeatedly. For months.

You don't speak for 99.9% of DUers, sorry. Nor, IMO, are you truly seeing through their/our hearts. JudyM Apr 2016 #8

As one who voted for Bernie, I stand by my ScreamingMeemie Apr 2016 #19

Look what you did, though. "Bernie supporters would never, but I don't know..." CalvinballPro Apr 2016 #21

That's completely your interpretation. I honestly did not mean it as a slam. I honestly do not JudyM Apr 2016 #25

Exactly. Insincere outrage. nt LexVegas Apr 2016 #30

I wouldn't be so sure pinebox Apr 2016 #32

I disagree pinebox Apr 2016 #33

Yes, the whiterage (white + outrage. pretty cool, eh?) is readily apparent Tarc Apr 2016 #35

Seriously? Whiterage? Really? Cute racism. pinebox Apr 2016 #47

Tone deaf nadinbrzezinski Apr 2016 #37

I'm happy for you, but much of the commentary thus far places this in the "gaffe" category Tarc Apr 2016 #38

Yup continues to be tone deaf nadinbrzezinski Apr 2016 #39

I find it amusing that you continue to be whiteraged on behalf of A-As over this issue Tarc Apr 2016 #41

Now we go down personal attack alley nadinbrzezinski Apr 2016 #42

I'll keep asking the question for as long as you decide to dodge it Tarc Apr 2016 #43

I cover racial issues nadinbrzezinski Apr 2016 #44

Let me know when your guy actually comes up with a stance that addresses their issues Tarc Apr 2016 #45

Since he is not my guy nadinbrzezinski Apr 2016 #46
