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.

disrespectfully and divisive. We arehere to nominate Hillary, not to sow discontent in the Party.

Fuck the BoBs. Just fuck them. Their time has past. Fuck em.

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.

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.

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.

And besides I do believe one should think before one speaks. Something the Bob's are failing to do in a very obvious way.

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

Disgusting, shameful, childish behavior tonight. They don't represent the party and they don't belong at our convention.

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.

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.
