We do have a Sanders Problem because of the Steinist Hires..

20. I have some Bernie bros on my facebook, and they've gotten uglier and uglier as he's started losing.

They've been spreading lies and nonsense for more than a month...
- Bernie only lost because of the DNC
- Biden is basically a republican
- Democrats only support Biden out of fear
- "Boomers" need Bernie Sanders because only his universal healthcare plan can save them from Covid-19.
Etc.
Etc.

A lot of it is character assassination targeted at the rank and file Democrats who weren't into Bernie's message and didn't see him as a suitable leader, and a lot of it is aimed at "boomers". I posted something in support of the fairness of the primary process yesterday, and one of them called me a "bootlicker", implied that I am a coward and called me a "boomer" (I'm a millennial fwiw). Its hard to know how much of this is an organic outgrowth of the present culture, and how much could be Russian resentment propaganda. It seems like the next divide and conquer strategy could be a play on inter-generational resentments designed to keep younger Democrats and progressives at home.

I'm hoping Bernie himself will take a look at what is going on and do his part to prevent a second Trump term. The fact that he was willing to drop out this early is a good sign at very least. The shit that comes out of some of his supporters mouths is not so encouraging.
