125. Entitled mindset of social media populists
Sat Aug 17, 2019, 07:19 AM
Aug 2019

that exists on both the right and left, that are mostly white movements. Most such people are not Democrats and voted for Green/DSA/Libertarian/etc in the recent past.

Historically oppressed groups (PoC, women, gays, etc) who have legitimate reason to 'revolt' and 'act stupid' don't do this and mainly attempt to peacefully work through the centrist structure of the Dem party, ie 'wait their turn', yet others that are more privileged don't think they need to wait or show respect to those that worked for their place at the table.

Most Sanders supporters are regular Democratic voters - why it is so important for him to denounce these ugly anti-Dem elements on social media that claim to support him.

Having a different opinion, especially within a Dem primary, should not open one up to doxxing, bullying or abuse of any kind.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
