Sanders statement: Harassment "unacceptable" and he urges "supporters of all campaigns" to stop it

[highplainsdem]

But Bernie, the problem is with YOUR campaign...

Link to tweet

More news: @BernieSanders weighs in on @Culinary226 non-endorsement, but also the harassment they’ve experienced: “Harassment of all forms is unacceptable to me, and we urge supporters of all campaigns not to engage in bullying or ugly personal attacks.”

[W_HAMILTON]

1. This guy...

[OliverQ]

9. Maybe he should have called the Culinary Union

a "lying dog-faced pony soldier" to increase his support with them?

[W_HAMILTON]

12. Maybe he should take goddamn responsibility for once...

...instead of trying to """both sides""" shit that only his campaign is doing.

I am not aware of the Culinary Union saying that they were receiving attacks from the surrogates/supporters of any other candidates. The other candidates do not need to apologize for the deplorable actions of the Sanders campaign. Sanders needs to "clean up his own house first."

35. "both sides". Reminds me of someone's comments on Charlottesville.

[PupCamo]

77. just thinking the same thing

interesting

[Cha]

107. Exactly.. and Not working.

[FarPoint]

53. Excellent point..

This is what his campaign did last cycle....

[progressoid]

79. But apparently some members of the Union weren't above it though...

In December 2019, I attended a Bernie Sanders town hall held by the Culinary Union 226 in Las Vegas and I witnessed a paid organizer rallying a small group to heckle Senator Bernie Sanders. This was right after a staged question about how Senator Sanders would accommodate the union to keep our insurance during and after the implementation of Medicare For All. Positing that all the members want to keep their union insurance instead of Medicare For All. For me, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I need to speak from my own perspective since I have been erased from the conversation. Despite the uncanny familiarity of The Irishman film, the promise of being shunned or worse by a huge portion of the 60,000 and the fact that I’m one of the few active people who work at my particular restaurant, I still won’t cower in fear from fascism in any form: foreign or domestic. I would trade my union insurance for Medicare For All today.

14. See now this is somewhat funny

But it dodges the point. The issue was the harassment and doxxing of culinary. Biden didn’t dox anyone.

56. Actually he should take responsibility for

his own supporters' actions.

[evertonfc]

2. lololol

come on Bernie.

[NurseJackie]

3. He urges supporters of "all campaigns" ... suggesting that "all campaigns" are guilty of this???

He urges supporters of "all campaigns" ... suggesting that "all campaigns" are guilty of this??? WTF?

Is this the equivalent of the "good people on both sides" argument?

Good lord! So divisive. So insulting.

[still_one]

36. Sounds so familiar, like after the killing of Heather Heyer in North Carolina

someone, whose name I can't recall, was using a similar both sides argument

Hmmmmm

[squirecam]

4. Were the Steyer supporters attacking the union? Or Patrick? Bloomberg?

I must have missed it.

I did see several negative posts both here and on twitter though......

[MrsCoffee]

5. "And I urge my supporters not to engage in bullying or ugly personal attacks".

How fucking hard would that be to say?

It is his supporters that are the problem not "supporters of all campaigns". And he damn well knows it. Their reputation didn't spring out of thin air.

[NurseJackie]

11. It's the "good people on both sides" argument. Disgusting.

[Peacetrain]

25. Where have I heard that before???

"Good people on both sides"????... you just cannot make it up ..

[NurseJackie]

26. It makes me want to vomit.

[Peacetrain]

31. supporters of all campaigns equals people on both sides or all sides..

you are right.. it does make me quite ill..

[still_one]

37. Yup. Does he have influence with his supporters or not?

[Cha]

109. +1!!!!!!

[denem]

6. 'Both Sides'

[DanTex]

7. Excellent statement, and he's absolutely right.

It's a media myth that somehow Bernie supporters on social media are uniquely rude. He's right to call on everyone to calm down and be more respectful.

[squirecam]

10. I didn't see supporters of other campaigns

Trash the union leadership.

I did see many negative posts here though. Calling them all sorts of names. You could probably look back and see what candidate they supported.

[DanTex]

15. Umm...the union leadership attacked Bernie, not their candidates, so why would they?

Supporters of other campaigns have done plenty of attacking, of Bernie, of his staff, of his supporters, etc.

[squirecam]

17. Did supporters of other candidates trash union leadership?

Biden? Bloomberg? Steyer?

You can read back over the several threads here if you need to refresh your memory....

Yes or no?

[DanTex]

20. Are you arguing that the only rudeness that matters is attacking this one union's leadership?

Because that would be quite a bizarre standard.

I don't know of any other candidates supporters attacking union leadership, but I would guess not, since the union leadership didn't attack their candidate. But I certainly know that supporters of other candidates have been doing plenty of trashing of all kinds of people associated or supportive of Bernie Sanders.

[squirecam]

22. Are you implying that Bernie Sanders

Spent yesterday afternoon or this morning reading the DU forum? Or DKOS? And because of that, he got involved.....

Because you know as well as I do the impetus for the statement was the harassment against the Culinary union. Which was only done.....by Sanders supporters. Both HERE and on twitter.

[DanTex]

23. He doesn't need to read DU to know that some supporters of all campaigns are rude on social media.

It's not really a secret. Whatever was said about the culinary union leaders is just one of thousands of instances of internet rudeness during this campaign.

So Sanders is absolutely right to call on everyone involved to be less rude. He doesn't have any more control over it than any other candidate, but it's a good thing for him to do nevertheless.

[squirecam]

27. I don't think Amy's campaign staff

Would support doxxing like Bernies staff did. Or use fake credentials to get inside a union lunchroom.

But If her supporters did that, I’d expect her to direct her fire on those who did it, and not “everyone else or a both sides statement”.

I was very offended, for example, when Trump made a both sides argument.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

55. Dan, please stop makin so much sense... you're interfering with another good baseless Bernie bashing

the backlash from which only helps Bernie SURGE!!



Thanks!! I'll buy you a beer if you stop!!




Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[samnsara]

102. November cant get here soon enuff

[Blue_true]

46. The Union said that a policy proposal that two candidates are pushing

was bad for it's members. That is not attacking a person.

[dware]

104. The Union leadership said Bernie's proposal was bad for

it's membership, where is the attack against Bernie?

And please point out what other campaign supporters are doxing people.

[Demsrule86]

32. He is evading responsibility....his campaign doxed the union leaders...he released a statement that

was completely wrong...unforced error. Other campaigns are not behaving as this campaign is...hopefully he union rises up and destroys him in Nevada.

[DanTex]

58. His campaign didn't dox anyone. Please.

The union isn't going to rise up and destroy him. They didn't even endorse Biden, despite the fact that the leader is buddies with Neera Tanden and the centrists at CAP. Because they know that doing so would piss off their membership, and that Bernie is the most pro-labor candidate in the field. There's a reason why Bernie has the most union endorsements.

[Demsrule86]

66. They had nice things to say about Biden...so who knows? But regardless...this is why I am a never-

Bernie in the primaries ...I would vote for Tulsi first in the primary. Sanders gets my vote in a General period.

[whttevrr]

51. Klobuchar supporters would disagree if they weren't so nice and

too busy lifting up their candidate and any one else who they think can beat Trump.

[progressoid]

82. Not always.

I was canvassing for Warren a couple weeks ago (Iowa). Knocked on the door of a 28 yr old. She was listed on the form as leaning Klobuchar. This was the second round of canvasing where we try to nail down support.
When she came to the door, she must not have seen my Warren sticker on my coat. But as soon as I said who I was volunteering for she cut me off and said, "I'm going with Amy. I would NEVER vote for Warren." "Or Sanders." She made a point of adding Sanders to her statement. Not sure why since I had nothing to do with the Sanders campaign.

I tried to thank her and wish her a good day but couldn't finish the sentence before the door was slammed in my face. Needless to say her tone was not so nice.

I knocked on 77 doors that day. She was the worst.

[ehrnst]

94. A "media myth?" That sounds like just like something that my Trump supporting uncle would say

about the NYT piece that updates how many lies Trump has told so far. Dismissing facts reported about Trump as 'myths' and the media en mass as liars...

That's the hill you've chosen to die on?



All "myths" eh?

The 'swarm': How a subset of Sanders supporters use hostile tactics to drown out critics

[link:Or their supporters Working Families Party Staffers Face Harassment After Warren Endorsement

Trump's MAGA supporters and some Twitter Sanders supporters have this ugly tactic in common

The attacks against Warren come from the same corners of social media that disparage Democrats (like myself) as being “puppets,” “centrist,” “anti-Semitic, and “ageist” for having the audacity to question or scrutinize their chosen leader. People of color and women who dare to disagree with Sanders’ political assertions have often borne the brunt of this abuse.

Sanders supporters have weaponized Facebook to spread angry memes about his Democratic rivals

No other Democrat’s supporters are engaged in behavior on a similar scale, which is more characteristic of the online movement galvanized by Trump. The president’s campaign aides have credited Facebook with his victory in 2016, when he poured money into advertising on the platform while also using organic posts on social media to speak directly to his followers, who responded with a torrent of posts backing him and lacerating his opponents.

[link:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/27/us/politics/bernie-sanders-internet-supporters-2020.html|Bernie Sanders and His Internet Army
At the start of his 2020 bid, the Vermont senator told his supporters that he condemned bullying. Is it his problem if many don’t seem to listen?]

Some progressive activists who declined to back Mr. Sanders have begun traveling with private security after incurring online harassment. Several well-known feminist writers said they had received death threats. A state party chairwoman changed her phone number. A Portland lawyer saw her business rating tumble on an online review site after tussling with Sanders supporters on Twitter.

Other notable targets have included Ady Barkan, a prominent liberal activist with A.L.S. — whom some Sanders-cheering accounts accused of lacking decision-making faculties due to his illness as he prepared to endorse Senator Elizabeth Warren — and Fred Guttenberg, the father of a shooting victim from the 2018 Parkland massacre, who had criticized Mr. Sanders’s statements about gun violence.

“Politics is a contact sport,” said Bakari Sellers, a former South Carolina State legislator who supported Ms. Harris in the Democratic primary. “But you have to be very cognizant when you say anything critical of Bernie online. You might have to put your phone down. There’s going to be a blowback, and it could be sexist, racist and vile.”

Are these statements by Bernie also a "media myth?" Why is he the only candidate who has needed to their supporters to stop the harassment?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/24/politics/sanders-letter-to-surrogates/index.html

Sen. Bernie Sanders condemned "bullying and harassment of any kind" Saturday in an email urging people representing his 2020 campaign in the media to act respectfully.

"Let us do our very best to engage respectfully with our Democratic opponents - talking about the issues we are fighting for, not about personalities or past grievances," Sanders wrote. "I want to be clear that I condemn bullying and harassment of any kind and in any space."

The email, which a source provided to CNN Sunday, came less than a week after Sanders officially announced his candidacy for president. The letter dissuades supporters from using personal attacks on Sanders' behalf, saying that the campaign message and rhetoric needs to be the opposite of President Donald Trump's.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/sanders-tells-supporters-to-cool-it--but-they-dont-always-listen/2020/01/23/5635859e-3c64-11ea-baca-eb7ace0a3455_story.html

Some close Sanders allies acknowledged the difficulty of balancing the passions of his loyal backers, inspired by his calls for a political revolution and his staunchly liberal platform, with the need to demonstrate a broader unity. The task is crucial, they said, as Sanders seeks to woo Democrats in Iowa, where voters are known for rejecting negative politics, ahead of the state’s Feb. 3 caucuses.

Sanders apologizes to Biden for surrogate’s brutal op-ed

[relayerbob]

8. No apology. Disturbing

If he wants to be President he needs to learn to accept responsibility. Ya know "The buck stops here"

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

69. No, Bernie's motto should be: "The LUCK stops here"... that's the luck that Repukes have enjoyed

in not having to face the "Wrath of Bernie," who's unafraid to shine the light of truth on their vile and disgusting conservative agenda, which has plagued the working class and low income folks in this country for WAY too fuckin' long. It's that agenda we should all be booing, not each other, and that's the united message Bernie is delivering to the electorate and what is fueling Bernie's surge in the polls, precisely as I've been predicting for quite some time.

Instead of reaching across the aisle, and trying to work with those fascist pigs, President Sanders' considerable coattails will allow him to capture all three branches of Government, and thus fight tooth and nail on behalf of We The People, who have suffered mightily at the hands of the RethugliKKKon ruling class and their Wall Street elite buddies.

That's whom we should ALL be booing every single day, along with their wretched jack-booted thug tactics, leading up to that glorious day when Bernie is elected President. Under President Sanders' vigilant watch, no longer would those Rethug Nazis be allowed to strip the less fortunate of their most basic, undeniable human rights. Those rights include, but are not limited to, access to universal healthcare, a fair minimum wage, a clean and healthy environment free from the devastating effects of climate change, a fair criminal system purged of hateful racial injustice, along with other fundamental Constitutional rights that RepubelicKKKons trample on daily.

No, that's where their luck finally runs out... the ordinary folks on Main Street, not the corporate elites on Wall Street, will finally have their champion, in Bernie, who will stop those motherfuckers dead in their tracks!! How UNlucky for them that will be... though the booing of those deplorable tRumpian pieces of shit, who landed us in this mess, should NEVER stop!!

Try to whitewash them, and people remember. And I don't say this idly, I come from a long career of successful team leadership

Sanders: I'm 'prepared to work with' Trump

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said Wednesday he is willing to collaborate with President-elect Donald Trump going forward but warned he would "strongly oppose" the Republican should he continue to pursue his most extreme policy proposals.

Acknowledging Trump's success in taping into economic resentment in his astounding electoral win Wednesday morning, Sanders cast Trump's candidacy in a light similar to his own failed presidential run during the Democratic primaries.

“Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media," the senator said in a statement released Wednesday.

Trump And Sanders Try To Show New Hampshire They Can Reach Across The Aisle

In a presidential election season that’s seen plenty of partisan fights, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders were among the candidates in Manchester, New Hampshire, Monday who were promising to reach across the political aisle if elected.

As WBUR's Fred Bever reported both men were out to demonstrate that they are practitioners of the art of compromise.

While often viewed as a pesky left-wing gadfly, he is also known to reach across the aisle, working on legislation with Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and Senator John McCain of Arizona, both Republicans. He has rationalized voting for the 1994 crime bill, now heavily criticized for some of its draconian provisions, by saying he had favored progressive parts of the bill, including the Violence Against Women Act, while strongly opposing measures that would lead to mass incarceration.

Bernie Sanders’ Republican Buddy Reaches Across the Aisle To Endorse Clinton

Sanders’ longtime friend Tony Pomerleau, a prominent Republican businessman and developer in Sanders’ hometown of Burlington, Vermont, offered his support for Clinton this week, framing his endorsement in a historical context.

Said Pomerleau:

“I am a loyal Republican born in 1917 and the first time a woman could vote was in 1919,” the letter reads. “I will be most happy to cast my vote to the first woman president of the United States of America. I am a loyal friend of Bernie Sanders and in Vermont they call us the ‘Odd Couple.’”

Amazing. His is the only one doing it.

16. Bernie has a real problem with his campaign.

I know a number of Bernie supporters in real life. Most of them are kind, thoughtful, considerate people. One is a stereotypical "bro," who is sexist, obnoxious, over the top in his characterizations of other candidates, especially female candidates. He is a bully. His emails go directly to my spam filter because I don't want to be assaulted by his bizarre rants.

My experience is not unique. Bernie has a sub-culture of supporters who represent him very poorly. He needs to get control of them and tell them to knock it off.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

24. This.

I said as much a few weeks ago over the Joe Rogan endorsement. I don't have a problem with Bernie, or his platform. I don't have a problem with most of his supporters. But, he certainly has some very toxic and very loud supporters, and has for years. I saw a some of it here and there in 2016, and, it seems to have gotten worse here in 2020.

From tearing down all other candidates (ESPECIALLY women) to "I don't care about your f*ggot issues" (yes, I had one of them tell me that in 2016), the toxicity of some of his worst supporters seems inseparable from the Red Hats. That, more than "Bernie's a socialist!" worries me the most about him winning the primaries. Are these "bros" (who, again, are in the minority - but also quite loud) going to get louder if that happens?

No, as you said, your experience is not unique. And, while it may be "unfair", it's such experiences that have me backing Warren here in 2020. Like Bernie, but without the bros.

How hard would it be, Bernie, to just tell this group of toxic supporters to STFU and quit being assholes? To tell them to be better than the goddamned MAGAts who have made everything so toxic in the name of Comrade Covfefe?

Seriously, Bernie. Time to quit saying "supporters of all campaigns" and direct some strong words toward some of the supporters of YOUR campaign.

[yardwork]

47. The problem is, he hired some of them to run his campaign.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

48. Which doesn't please me

It, along with both-sidesism like this statement, and his refusal to tell his own "MAGA" crowd, leaves me wondering if he has no problem with these toxic supporters.

I wish he'd get it. Not only do we not need this kind of crap (especially after 4 1/2 years of Trumpitis), but, it only chases some of us off to his opponents.

[progressoid]

84. Interestingly I know someone like that from 2016

Although he was a Clinton supporter.
Now when we have county social Dem party events we all hope he doesn't show up (even Clinton supporters don't like him). Unfortunately he is kind of high in the plumbers union so he's in the loop with a lot of events. Recently he was even banned from a local bar when he became belligerent after an Eric Swalwell event. Luckily the media and Rep Swalwell were gone by then.

57. This thread

is a perfect example of why Berine called on supporters of all campaigns to not engage in bullying or ugly personal attacks. Just read the comments on this thread from supporters of other campaigns openly doing what they decry about Sanders supporters! And it isn't just this thread. Numerous threads right now on DU that showcase this behavior.

Doxing someone will get one banned from DU. It is taken pretty seriously here.

Or their supporters harassing a union that didn't endorse Biden/ Klobuchar?

I think you may be scolding the wrong people...

[highplainsdem]

63. How ridiculous. There's no bullying in this thread, and no personal attacks. But you
