Anyone else seeing larger amounts of Bernie hate than 2016 on Facebook?

Bernie is my man. He has my vote. My money. My non knee jerk explanation of why I'm voting for him when I'm confronted.

That said, I'm seeing some of my own Facebook friends posting, specifically saying he needs to buzz off...which pisses me off!! I'm seeing more of it now than I was in 2016.

I know, Facebook is a cesspool anyway, but, honestly, I'm just wondering if anyone else is noticing this?

Still see my tried and true blue Bernie buddies on there too, so it's not all bad.

People say the manufacturing has left America, but Manufacturing consent seems very active.

The folks at ShariaBlue are doing what they are paid to do.

Hopefully getting paid better these days. I have a friend who worked there for Brock during the 2016 round, and he said the pay was shit and the environment was toxic.

He jumped ship, but said the coworkers that stuck around said things were still pretty bad.

I’d agree with this if they were doing an honest day’s work, but engaging in such soul selling propaganda should not be rewarded with higher pay...This applies as well to the propagandists of the NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, Mother Jones, Daily Kos, etc...

Well, I can’t speak for all of them, but my buddy is a good guy who desperately needed the work during grad school. I don’t hold it against him. And I don’t hold it against any others that might be reading this. I get it. A job’s a job. I hope you find a better, more rewarding one.

Must’ve been even more frustrating for them to find out that Brock was double dipping like crazy into their funding.

I don’t think a job’s a job...if your friend didn’t see anything wrong with belonging to an army of trolls who spread lies about Bernie and his supporters, there’s something wrong...Sorry...

He should write a tell-all-book about the experience. It will earn him some money, inform the public and redeem his soul.

Can't he do something that doesn't harm anyone, like robbing a bank?

I've been seeing it. Two years of constant Shareblue ops and now it's 'cool' to be hating on Bernie.

I've found that it has spread everywhere in the past week or two, ugh.

r/politics has every pro-Bernie article brigade-downvoted and full of nasty comments. They recently also started shitting on AOC too.

Relitigation of 2016 is inevitable. There needs to be a reckoning between the corporate sheeple and the 99%.

Only Hillary supporters are allowed to relitigate 2016, while we’re supposed to move on. 🙄

I guess we simply have a lot of work ahead. I'm up for it.

But Joe Biden is a spring chicken who deserves to be president! /s

All Trump would have to do to win is make a supercut of Biden groping children.

I see a lot of anti bernie rhetoric on some pages, specially ones linked to mainstream left wing media like MSNBC. Lots of centrists who hate on bernie and his supporters in the comments.

My friends are still largely supportive of sanders. I do have a few friends who dislike my "bernie or bust" mentality but 1) many of those guys have been purged since the 2016 election from my friend's list, either due to me cutting them off for being communists who literally support violence (tankies), or them cutting ME off because im uncompromising in my views and they think im a sell out because im not some SJW who votes based on feels and puts social issues at the forefront of my ideology.

The ones that remain are chill, although one of them sometimes challenges me on my page. He normally understands my views after i explain them though. Like he needs to understand, yes, in the south, where he lives, yes, you might have to vote for a moderate democrat to avoid a republican. but in other areas of the country we've had democratic leadership for decades and democrats arent all that special here. And those centrist ideas don't work well. Either way he kinda gets it after i explain it to him.

But yeah.

I think most people in my group still support sanders and the like, they're largely not centrist or neolibs.
