    @DreamShook would love your thoughts on the issues of culture I raised here (don't want my post to get hidden behind @jiggyfly 's streams of consciousness :p )

    You are going to have to come with a better example than Nevada 2016 when democrats engaged in some pretty egregious actions to help Hilary. I don't know how people are supposed to act when you see the screw job in real time.

    You will be happy to know Bernie supporters did a little better in Iowa 2020 when the IDP rigged that in favor of Pete to win more delegates.

    Bernie Sanders is not a corporation. He is an elected official.

    WOW!

    So throwing chairs is defensible to you.

    That explains a lot.

    Seems that Bernie shushed a reporter for asking him about the union incident.

    Not a good week for Bernie.

    There is no excuse to fighting and throwing chairs. I'm not here to defend any actions to tip the scales against Bernie, but what has our political discourse been reduced to if violence is seen as acceptable?

    Nevada wasn't an isolated incident - c'mon man, don't be obtuse. We've spent pages highlighting the aggressive actions from Bernie supporters. Here are a few highlights:

    And for the last time, how do you rig a caucus when people literally show up in person to cast their vote? Don't reject facts simply because they don't line up with your pre-existing views of the world. Bernie is not infallible - he is capable of losing a caucus.

    This is concern trolling, man. Nevada 2016 is the example you gave me. I thought that was a weak example to give considering what happened on that day. I don't condone violence or threats, but I understand the reactions. When you do the work, and follow the rules, and still it is not enough... I would be ready to fight too. When the rules and facts no longer apply, a base tends to get gnarly.


    I'll just leave this thread (click on the tweet for his reporting). the inaccuracies are astounding and heavily favor Pete. Bernie Sanders and his supporters moved on. Isn't this what you guys want. Bernie got screwed and he moved on.


    The IDP said that any inaccuracies won't be corrected that show Bernie winning.

    Any organization of all ideological spectrums can go to any politician and stay "your social media supporters attacked us".

    This is plain gotcha journalism. If Bernie was like Trump and advocated for violence such as at his rallies and calling any criticism of him "enemy of the people" then I expect journalists to question his rhetoric.

    Using angry social media tweets as a crutch to attack someone who had never advocated for violence is silly.

    Concern trolling?

    The only way to respond is throwing chairs and destroying property.

    And you wonder why people equate some to Trump supporters.
