#bowdownbernie!

Bow down Bernie you dog!

Know your place and bow down!

1. He's insufficiently humble

Something only an insufficiently humble person would say, btw.

[Cosmic Kitten]

2. There's a hurricane brewing

[Agschmid]

11. Yup.

Only problem with hurricanes is you can't predict the outcome.

3. Don't give them too much credit. They speak for themselves.

The group who did the #BowDownBernie event thing today, they only speak for themselves. Not every protester or activist. They are autonomous. They act alone or in their small group.

Their facebook page was only set up yesterday.

Other, more well known, Seattle #BlackLivesMatter activists have distanced themselves from the action.

[Cosmic Kitten]

4. So let BLM answer for them, not you or I

#BowDownBernie is efffing reprehensible!

Someone needs to be accountable.
This cannot be excused.

[Cheese Sandwich]

5. There's no accountability for a hashtag

Anyone can use it and be #blackLives for the day. I've even used it, sincerely many times.

I won't be using #BowDownBernie though. That's just messed up.

[Cosmic Kitten]

6. DISAGREE. BLM can put out a STRONGLY WORDED TWEET!

Or at least strongly disavow any such future actions!

This is going to get worse before it gets better!
Some have overplayed their hand!

7. "I've even used it, sincerely many times."

Is that a confession of what you are doing on DU?

[Snotcicles]

8. WTF? nt

[Agschmid]

13. Okay...

So I'm not the only one who saw that then?

[Agschmid]

12. How should they be punished?

I'm sure you've got some great ideas...

[aspirant]

9. Bowdown,

with the Bowdown the ship sinks

[flamingdem]

10. True dat, exposed as bullies

On a power trip. would have been better agaist Rod Paul but hey they might support him.

[RobertEarl]

14. Beyond stupid

They just lost any good will they had. Oh, they can repair the damage they have done to their group, but I doubt they are smart enough to do so.

[Agschmid]

15. I don't think they care about goodwill...

I think they care about the number of black people dying everyday in this country, sometimes at the hands of our police. Goodwill probably isn't their priority.

[RobertEarl]

16. True

Of course if they were really on the up and up, they'd be all over Obama, because he can do something now.

It is curious that some here, and there, feel that Bernie is already practically elected and can bring change already. Why else attack him, and not the present power structure?

[cali]

17. this is simple. they certainly need good will and white allies

They can't effect change without them

[Ken Burch]

18. And they think Bernie's campaign doesn't?

Based on what?

He has endorsed everything they want(as do all of his supporters). It's not like they'll get more from HRC or O'Malley or Biden
