Bonkers 30,860 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Bernie's problem is his supporters. Last night in South Bend, a small group were gathered to hear from Black people in the community who support Pete, and why. They were interrupted by Bernie Sanders supporters dressed in BLM clothing in which a white guy grabbed the microphone out of the hands of the black woman speaking at the podium, and later he shouted her down and that she wasn't a real black woman because she was wearing a leather jacket and nice jewelry. I know they weren't with the official Bernie Sanders campaign, but this is what it's like on Twitter now, constant attacks from people like this. Until Bernie addresses it in a meaningful way, I don't think his campaign will have any chance of winning the nomination because people are turned off.

You're assuming them to be Bernie Sander supporters without any proof and claim that Bernie should address it because of your assumption that they might be Bernie bros?! What?! It doesn't make any sense whatsoever Sing C'est la vie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers 30,860 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 They've all since been identified as Bernie supporters. One of them was wearing a wearing a Bernie beanie even. And since they were protesting Pete, they weren't Pete supporters. Who do you think these woke people support? Biden? Trump? lol And even without them being identified, I recognize the behaviour and attitudes online.

I really don't like this protesting between supporters, it takes away from the message and policy discussion. Be respectful. I mean don't be like the republicans and give incivility a free pass.

The protesters were PURELY members of Black Lives Matters. There were people who supported Sanders there, but to say it was all Sanders supporters dressing up as BLM activists takes away from the issues they were raising and is a trash thing to say. People can support many candidates and be members of varying groups. Period. They're not mutually exclusive. Also, the guy you're talking about is a member of the Latinx community - a community Pete also polls at near zero with. Edit: Also, the person with the beanie you've referred to was seen in ONE photo circulating on twitter and she was sitting there on her phone not doing anything.
