Showing Original Post only (View all)Making an issue of Bernie Supporters is the Dumbest Fucking Campaign Tactic in History [View all]
And I don't want to hear it's both sides doing it, as that's total bullshit and here's the fuck why.
Since the beginning, Hillary campaign has made an issue of Bernie supporters by labeling them BernieBro's and saying they were sexist bullies. Then it switched to racist bullies when BLM protested Sander's campaign, something he handled with Grace and Dignity, unlike Hillary HERSELF. Again, this was an orchestrated campaign tactic handed down by the campaign to give out to her minions on social networks. It was a generalization that was proven to be false. And no wonder she is doing this. Her 2008 campaign used the PUMAs to do the very same thing and this just another Rovian tactic employed by her REPUBLICAN Campaign Strategist, DAVID BROCK, who is essentially Mark Penn Version 2.0. Remember, this is the same David Brock (R) who attacked Anita Hill when she attempted to bring Clarence Thomas's sexual harassment to light.
And here we are again, with bullshit attempts to demonize Bernie's supporters, again with the most vile and base lies. No wonder, though Hillary has been proven to be a liar in her emails that recently revealed SHE negotiated the Secret Trade Deal with Columbia in 2009 that her then Campaign Manager, Mark Penn failed to negotiate for Bush in 2008 when it came out that he was the one negotiating the trade deal WHILE BEING HILLARY'S Campaign Manager. He was forced to resign from her campaign of course when it came out. Hillary was also forced to denounce the trade deal, only then to betray the trust of the voters when she then negotiated the trade deal herself as Secretary of State.
What is the ultimate result of this tactic? Disenfranchisement of Bernie's supporters. As a supporter myself, I am finding it more and more difficult each day to pull the lever for Hillary if she ends up being the nominee. And I am fully aware of the stakes. But many are not like me and they are bailing on the DNC because of Hillary's tactics. This will be the loss of not only the party, but America and democracy. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when Hillary takes advice from Republican Operatives.
