So now the Occupy Wall St movement are BerniBros

The 2000 lb Elephant in the room Bernie Supporters object to the most is Hillary's overwhelming support by Wall St Elite - the centrist faction of the Democratic party - the Third Way

Using the meme BerniBros as a slur from the Hillary Campaign demonstrates the impending shift to toxic Wall Street politics as usual from Third Way and Team Clinton

It also signals "Business as Usual" for the Wealthy Elite

My question to the Hillary supporters is simple - what are you going to do to stop the the impending stacking of Hillary's administration with Third Way operatives

2. This obsession with a slur is weird.

BerniBros was used as a defense against Hillarians. Anyone who uses either slur has poor communication skills, imo. But Jesus, let's stop complaining about how unfair one is over the other. They're both ridiculous.

Yes, what are we going to do to move Clinton further to the left? That's really the only thing we should be discussing here. Again, imo.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.

There will be no pulling Hillary to the left.

As Rahm Emmanuel said so eloquently in discussing the left, "What a bunch of fucking retards!"

3. Hillary Clinton did not force Bernie Sanders supporters to be aggressively sanctimonious

while hectoring people who criticize Bernie or are outspoken in supporting Hillary.

David Brock didn't force Bernie Sanders supporters to accuse Black Lives Matter of working for Karl Rove. Y'all did that on your own, it was not a good look.

This attempt to blame a shadowy conspiracy for the logical consequences of Sanders's supporters' own behavior is fascinating from a psychological point of view.


By the way, you all were also blaming Hillary Clinton for Black Lives Matters protests involving Bernie. You have a weird tendency to blame everything that doesn't go your way on Hillary Clinton.
