Using BernieBros is sexist misnomer.

[Lone_Wolf]

You shouldn't complain about gender inequality if you're promoting it.

[geek tragedy]

1. Lol, the poor, oppressed bros, nt

[Betty Karlson]

10. I'd rather be a Berniebro than become a Hill-bully. nt

[beedle]

28. Don't ask to have $1 bills thrown at you if you can't take the ridicule.

The only people that thought this was sexist in any way was Hillary supporters when it back fired on them.

"look at me, look at me, I'm swinging on a pole begging you to throw $1 bills at me --- Oh no! They're throwing $1 bills at me like I'm a stripper!!"

Sexism no longer has a meaning -- congratulations Hill-bullies!

[geek tragedy]

33. you just compared Hillary Clinton to a pole-dancing stripper, while explicitly stating "she asked

for it."

[Capt. Obvious]

34. LOL

[beedle]

37. In case you didn't notice

The call to throw $1 bills at Hillary was started by Hillary, and was around for weeks without any Bernie supporters going for the 'stripper' comparison ... it was the Hillary camp who started that comparison ... don't start a sexist meme if you don't want a sexist meme.

[NightWatcher]

2. But at least Hillary recycles. Bernie Bros are recycled Obama Boys

She's been attacking while simultaneously yelling victim again.

[My Good Babushka]

3. I agree. nt

[Protalker]

6. Sounds like a Trump tag

Who do you all see as the enemy? What is the end game? I'm concerned about losing to Cruz. What are your plans if your candidate loses?

[My Good Babushka]

21. I don't have just one enemy

For the half of the country living on $500 a week or less, incrementalism is just as bad as right-wing extremism. It could be fatal for many. Death is a real outcome for people living like this and they have to vote for whom they need now because they might not see the next election. The supporters who defend accumulated wealth, the status quo, who don't see the problem with taking hundreds of thousands of dollar for a speech, and think all campaign contributions are good no matter whom they are coming from, are just as much my enemy. They choose to remain ignorant to the real existential danger that a lot of Americans live with every day.

24. Talking specfics

I have been a counselor to indigent people now heroin addicts for 30 years. I have a very small salary. What I know is life for the people I serve is better when democrats win. I believe in the diagnosis of what is wrong. My vote goes to who can get it done.

[My Good Babushka]

25. I don't see the policies that "get it done"

coming from the Clinton White House. Perishing of benign neglect or active hatred is no choice. Better the enemy that sneers at my face, than the one that does so behind my back. But I don't mistake the latter for my friend or ally.

[merrily]

4. It sure negates the existence of women like me, which I think is very sexist

I don't think feminists would do that.

I would have mentioned that much sooner if I had ever thought any of that bs was really about women, rather than being about Hillary, even if it hurt women generally, As a female from birth, I am just not good at pissing in the wind, so I didn't bother bringing it up.

[potone]

30. I agree.

For some reason I thought you were a man; I don't know why. As a woman who supports Bernie and is a feminist, I resent the term, too. His supporters are not all young white men, as some Hillary supporters like to claim.

[merrily]

32. I get that a lot, yet the only times I post anything gender specific, it's about being female.

[potone]

39. My bad.

I hope that assumption doesn't reflect some unconscious bias against my own gender, since I always enjoy reading your posts.

[merrily]

40. Since you are not alone, it must be something about my posts.

Even if it weren't my posts it would not be your bad. How are you supposed to know my sex from my posts?

Glad you enjoy reading my posts, though.

[notadmblnd]

7. One of the things I don't think HRC supporters give a thought to is

when they have their finger out pointing at Sander's supporters, they have three pointing right back at them.

[Capt. Obvious]

8. May I suggest you just combine all of your posts this morning into one post?

No need to clutter up the page with the same post said x amount of ways.

[Tarc]

9. Lol, poor oppressed men. about as repressed as white Christians

This video is especially for you

[Betty Karlson]

12. Half the bros are bras by now. Nice of you to laugh off women and their beliefs. eom

[eShirl]

13. yes, because Bernie's supporters are all male (and white, and Christian)...

[Tarc]

19. WHOOSH

[seaglass]

11. I would agree with this only because it does exclude women who support Bernie and behave in

the same way "Bernie Bros" do - you do realize that this does not refer to all Bernie supporters?

Bernie stan is a better term as it's gender neutral.

[Betty Karlson]

14. As is Hill-bully. eom

[eShirl]

17. "you do realize that this does not refer to all Bernie supporters? "

Usually; I'm not so sure that's always the case though. I think maybe a few posters actually DO mean to label all Sanders supporters as "Bernie Bros."

[gollygee]

15. It's a stereotype of young, white, libertarian-leaning Bernie supporters

It isn't intended to be a descriptor of all Bernie supporters.

[99Forever]

42. I'n not young nor do I "lean libertarian ."

That hasn't stopped the lying liars from Camp Weathervane from smearing me withthar BULL SHIT. label multiple times. Fucking lying liars, one and all, just like their lying liar candidate.

[all american girl]

16. You mean the people who swarmed FB and twitter of anyone who

endorsed Hillary, like Trayvon Martin's mom....or John Lewis? You want to know what is sexist...claiming that women voting for Hillary are only voting with their girly bits...not their brains...now that's sexist and that's coming from the Bernie side.

[HereSince1628]

18. But, but, but... name calling is -SO- useful in the bigotry of us vs them competitions

We learn this approach as we are first socialized among pre-schoolers, and it's always there, always available when we need it.

Coalition building, and reliance on a coalition's capacity to encourage the release of aggression from within the protected company of an in-group are central features of our particular species of ape.

[pinebox]

20. :) I love this

[In_The_Wind]

26. heh heh heh

[Orsino]

22. Not exactly.

But using it to broad-brush all Sanders supporters (or all Sanders supporters on DU) is lazy and a failure to acknowledge the legitimacy of an entire campaign.

[DrDan]

23. BB's are now claiming sexism . . . that has to be the hightlight of the day

no further reading necessary

[mythology]

27. It's stupid name calling

I can say that some Sanders supporters and some Clinton supporters have acted like assholes without having to come up with some denigrating nicknames.

[LadyHawkAZ]

29. Juvenile and misleading, but not sexist in itself

It's designed to make people view his supporters as being entirely made up of white frat boys though, which is belittling to all the women and PoC in the Sanders camp.

[PeaceNikki]

31. lol

35. Glenn Greenwald predicted it in 2014 without knowing who would run against Hillary

http://www.gq.com/story/glenn-greenwald-edward-snowden-no-place-to-hide

<Hillary is banal, corrupted, drained of vibrancy and passion. I mean, she’s been around forever, the Clinton circle. She’s a fucking hawk and like a neocon, practically. She’s surrounded by all these sleazy money types who are just corrupting everything everywhere. But she’s going to be the first female president, and women in America are going to be completely invested in her candidacy. Opposition to her is going to be depicted as misogynistic, like opposition to Obama has been depicted as racist. It’s going to be this completely symbolic messaging that’s going to overshadow the fact that she’ll do nothing but continue everything in pursuit of her own power. They’ll probably have a gay person after Hillary who’s just going to do the same thing.

I hope this happens so badly, because I think it’ll be so instructive in that regard. It’ll prove the point. Americans love to mock the idea of monarchy, and yet we have our own de facto monarchy. I think what these leaks (he is referring to the Snowden leaks) did is, they demonstrated that there really is this government that just is the kind of permanent government that doesn’t get affected by election choices and that isn’t in any way accountable to any sort of democratic transparency and just creates its own world off on its own.>

[CharlotteVale]

36. So true. Clinton campaign is full of sexism - just look at the

sexist comments of Debbie "young women are complacent" Schultz, Gloria "female Bernie supporters are only in it to get guys" and Madeleine "special place in hell" Albright.

But their term Bernie bros erases the very existence of female Bernie supporters.

Such hypocrisy and sexism from the supporters of the woman who never fails to play the woman card which no real feminist would do.

[beedle]

38. An to top it all, it was actually Hillary's camp that started this

Hillary is the one that asked to have $1 bills throw at her, and no Bernie supporters connected that to 'strippers' .. greed? lack of self awareness? Out of touch? Yes, those were all things Bernie supporters accused Hillary of, but none of them said anything about 'strippers'.

It was the Hillary camp that made the 'connection' between $1 bills and strippers, not Bernie supporters.

Oh, and I don't see anything wrong with strippers. They are people too, people that if Hillary were a true feminist would be proud to associate with ... I know I would much prefer to have strippers as friends than war mongers like Hillary & Kissinger.
