By disproportionately covering one group of supporters vs others? There have literally been articles from mainstream sources that centered around a single tweet by some random Twitter account. How many mainstream hours lists author articles about single bad tweets by a Hillary or Biden supporter? Again, go to the source. Is the source, in this case Bernie expressing rhetoric that entails being violent? No? Then there is no reason to assume that Bernie supporters are more prone to violence.
But no other supporters do this type of thing. What other supporters has doxed somebody? Gotcha journalism? Most of what Bernie supporters do is gotcha journalism toward other candidates its all over the Biden and Pete threads. Somebody made a new thread with gotcha's toward Biden. It's not silly calling out social media tweets there are whole threads calling out Trump for the same thing.
Reportedly harassing? What? The person who had there private cellphone number tweeted out probably cares. So now it's not Bernie supporters but somebody else doing it? Please.
I call out Trump because he advocates for divisive rhetoric and his supporters love him precisely for his "tell it like it is" and "doesn't take bullying by the opposition" rhetoric. It's a desired quality of Trump from his supporters. When Trump is on camera at a rally and points to the back row of cameras and calls them the enemy of the people, the crowd loves that ****. Bernie supporters love Bernie because of his consistent policy rhetoric for multiple decades and his hair... Obviously his hair. The entire raise en detre of being a Bernie supporter is policy centric even if you believe the polices are not pragmatic.
It's only one group of supporters who consistently do this ****. Nobody said Bernie supporters are more prone to violence why bring that straw man up? So now the argument is everybody does it.
And please tell me how Bernie is responsible? Has he ever doxxed anyone himself like Trump did with Lindsey Graham?
How naive do you have to be to believe that only Bernie and Trump supporters are mean on the internet?
Who said they were only the only ones that are mean? It's way more than being mean and you are naive if you think thats only it.
Why is it okay to blame Bernie for random tweets by rando dick heads online while not even getting whether those randos are good faith supporters or bots or foreign troll farms? Again, blame Bernie and chase him around with a mic shoved up his face asking him to respond to angry tweets if his rhetoric calls for it.
So now its randos and bots? I mean you got shook in here saying violence is ok, is he a rando or bot?
With the plethora of bad faith actors from bots to foreign troll farms, and ZERO intellectual curiosity by mainstream media sources to find the origin of these "angry tweets" why should any one trust "Explain yourself for this random supporter's angry tweet" journalism. I'm not going to trust tweets by rando accounts as any indication of the quality of a politician. I'll go by his rhetoric and actions.
I didn't even read his comment and I'm probably accurately assuming you took the very worst interpretation of what he said to feed a preconceived narrative in your head.
Here are his exact words concerning what happened in 2016. 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. He seems to not condone until he condones it, you be the judge.
