(35,568 posts)I'll betcha almost all those *supposedly* proBernie members are on my ignore list starting with the "I support Bernie BUT..." crowd. They're comically obvious.
I really think the only answer is to try to get as many real Bernie supporters on as possible to balance things out. The make-up here is 80-90% pro-Bernie and that should be the approximate make-up in MIRT too. I think once the numbers are balanced out and more representational, the fakes who genuflect will have a harder time maintaining their charade as real Bernie supporters weigh in. It's not like they're fooling anyone anyway.
I am sorry that the few Bernie supporters who volunteered were outnumbered and beat up on. I hope we can change that. No one should be getting beaten up on and no one who posts at a site openly dedicated to persecuting Bernie and his supporters should even be on MIRT. It makes the whole thing an ugly joke.
There are many days I really don't feel like posting here because off all the bullshit going on but it matters and solidarity matters too. If Bernie can keep slogging through all that hate, so can we I think. The real question is how on earth did so many of us step away from the plate and leave just a few brave souls to represent us on that team? And what are we going to do about it to make sure our voices are proportionally represented?
You know, I only opined on this because I can see what Bernie supporters like you who are graciously serving on MIRT are being subjected to. I know everyone's supposed to pretend nothing's amiss for some fake sort of harmony but that's bullshit and exactly why the Party is so stunned now that so many people won't play ball anymore after all that intellectually insulting pretending.
Thank you for representing us. I mean that sincerely.
