The MYTH Of Bernie "Bros"

Last edited Wed Apr 20, 2016, 09:12 PM - Edit history (1)



The nickname "Bernie Bro" has always offended me deeply. It is an ignorant, empty, and offensive attack. Bernie has more support from women than Hillary does. He has an extremely diverse supporter base. There is no such thing as a "Bernie Bro". There was no such thing as an "Obama Boy". There are just people. People, sick and tired of the same old bullshit. People tired of the status quo. People who want money out of politics. People who want their children to grow up in a world where they are always cared for when they get sick. A world where a higher education is not a far fetched dream. A world where the threat of war isn't always on the horizon. A world where the elderly are cared for. A world where police are not something you should be afraid of just because you are a minority. A world without corruption. A world for the people, of the people and by the people.

“I have heard about it. It’s disgusting,” Sanders said. “Look, we don’t want that crap. ... We will do everything we can and I think we have tried. Look, anybody who is supporting me that is doing the sexist things is — we don’t want them. I don’t want them. That is not what this campaign is about.”

But the fact is, the accusation isn't true. I hear Bernie referred as that "Socialist JEW" by Clinton supporters all the time. I don't see the Sanders campaign throwing anti-Semitism charges around.
