Sanders supporters use email to attack Indiana super delegates

[sufrommich]

The Indiana Democratic primary is still more than two months away, but some supporters of Bernie Sanders are already on the attack.
They include Cordelia Lewis-Burks, who plans to support Hillary Clinton.
“You and the rest of the super delegates are making a huge mistake,” Lewis-Burks reads from an email sent to her by a Bernie Sanders supporter.
She’s received more than a dozen such emails in recent days. The messages are personal.
“Well, I’ve been called some terrible names and derogatory names as far as race is concerned,” said Lewis-Burks, who is African American.

1. That's absolutely disgraceful

Do they really think that they can bully these delegates into changing their support for Clinton?

[wysi]

2. Stay classy, BS supporters

[radical noodle]

3. Indiana is my home state

It was pretty awful, reading the comments after.

[sufrommich]

4. Yep. The comments live up to their

reputation.

5. It is shameful that Sanders fans should this.

6. This is so troubling to me. The Bros continue to poison the well, and I fear there may be no coming

back from this. BS & his supporters are creating the type of race based rifts that are more emblematic of more conservative types. If you're a regular listener to NPR, it's quite evident that many of BS' supporters are angry white young men, who claim they will support Trump if BS is not the nominee. Flipsides of the same poisonous coin, and it's a bit unsettling.

7. Haahaa..they're pissing off a lot of delegates.

Someone tweeted that they were taking bets on what team sanders' next desperate move would be.
They're becoming a twitter joke..

10. First call them corrupt establishment, then send a swarm

9. Par for the course with his supporters ...

I had a post blocked last week when I said the gap was closing between BS supporters and another fringe group who were young and bullied folks online recently, so I won't say it again.

12. Censorship is their campaign strategy.

Its not working. They cannot censor the world.

[fleabiscuit]

13. Pretty sleazy. n/t

[DemonGoddess]

14. I live in a VERY

red area of Indiana. What I'm hearing is all the Trump supporters. You guessed it, all white men that are spewing the garbage. It's just foul, the garbage that is spewed.

From either group of supporters, whether for Sanders or Trump, this behavior is inexcusable.

15. They're their own worst enemies.

Thanks su~
