(24,393 posts)It's like the BoBs try to get a chant going whenever a pro-Hillary speaker takes the stage.
Talk about shooting your supposed movement in the foot.

(23,364 posts)I've read this term a number of times. It strikes me as intended to insult those who voted for Sanders; that said, I don't know if that's the case.

(23,364 posts)You see, I understand that on politics a lot of terminology can be used and people can get angry.
I've been posting here since 2001 and have campaigned for various Democrats. I voted for Sanders in the primary. I prefer Clinton to become president instead of Trump.
I find the use of the term "Bernie bros" to be off-putting. I imagine that there are a lot of Democrats who voted for Sanders who might share that sentiment. Why not just call assholes assholes?
I'm not telling you what to do. Just a thought.

(13,933 posts)I wasn't sure they actually existed until I saw a few on TV today. There's probably less than a few dozen. They were just loud and determined to get in front of cameras and mikes.
Fortunately, they seem to have quieted down.

I smell ratf*ckers-paid trolls whatever. No progressive could be that dense & still support others rights.

(72,790 posts)That's a decision the DNC can and should make if they choose to. It would be a decision I would support since it's their show.

(28,333 posts)If they boo the first lady I hope the President walks out there & kicks ALL their asses.
What do these assholes think they are accomplishing? NOTHING. They are trashing Bernie's movement and making it all look like a bunch of spoiled fucking loons.
