In reply to the discussion: On Twitter, Bernie Sanders’s supporters are becoming one of his biggest problems [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)20. And the hilarious efforts to whistle past the graveyard continue. And continue. And continue
I had a poster who is well known to this forum for ALL the wrong reasons tell me that the AA forum has "driven a wedge" between itself and the rest of DU because we dare to discuss Sanders' abysmal support in minority communities and have spoken repeatedly about how black posters on DU, on black Twitter and even black attendees at Netroots Nation have been practically stalked and harangued by Sanders supporters.
Somehow, these people get called out by Thom Hartmann, Occupy, Van Jones, Black Twitter, and even OTHER SANDERS SUPPORTERS but as usual, it's black folks that have "driven the wedge" and created the problem. This shit is just precious and adorable.
