A lot of people don't want to deal with this shit and I don't blame them. Sanders' campaign tactics are divisive and harmful to his image but they're probably also effective at hardening his supporters and shutting down criticism.

Don't forget what happened in the last British election.

Look, it's one thing to ask for money, or volunteer work. But now they're asking me to interact with my family, workmates, and friends? About politics?
Bridge too far, Joe.

I want to Joe but apparently I'm stupid for not knowing how the real world works despite having a college degree and paying for it all while working 60 hours a week in a manufacturing and production job. But trust fund baby barista from USC tells me I'm not woke enough.

Why don’t you vote for someone else

Because Joe is my boy.

Slow down, zip

Facebook is a lot more cordial, and we’ve got Khive on Twitter helping push back a bit.

The Khive is ANGRY at Bernie people on Twitter. And they aren't gonna support Butti or Klobuchar so they come to the Uncle Joe camp

Khive is in a chaotic downward spiral. You've definitely got to harnass and direct that wild energy if you want to win the posting war.
Good luck. I'm rooting against you 😘

Kamala supporters are swinging the bat for Biden? Really?

Yes. The criticism of Biden from Kamala was valid, but not so deep to create a rift between educated PoC (imo Kamalas main area of support) and trust in Biden. I mean my mother was a massive Kamala stan, brown educated woman from Detroit, but is now a tepid Biden supporter.

Because he IS a unifier. Harris, Butti, Klobuchar, and even Warren people can vote for Biden. Bernie's whole me or GOP lite will cost him in caucuses and he has the lowest ceiling. Circle the wagons for Uncle Joe

Biden go on neolib

JOE NEEDS YOU 👉

I just don't have the energy after defending Clinton in 2016.
Bernie Bros are awful.

I have read so many negative comments about Bernie and the Bros on twitter. I don't use Facebook because Zuckerberg's a massive tool. People know Bernie and his supporters for who they are.
I regard some level of criticism as being a healthy and natural part of selecting a candidate for any office. If it's unfounded, the candidate has the opportunity to refute it and pivot back to how they are going to help resolve the issues facing their constituencies.
A total lack of criticism is usually a bright red indicator that something is very, very wrong with the candidate or who they are surrounding themselves with. Echo chambers are not welcome when it comes to leadership.

I'm trying, Jennifer.

I think it's an important thing to do. You're probably not going to change the one making the claims mind but if there's someone whose simply uninformed and sees a video taken out of context might believe it if there isn't someone there calling out that crap. You don't have to be rude, you don't have to take a position just simply correct the record. The trolls know what they're doing but maybe someone else won't get sucked in.

I am now ordering a full mobilization of the Biden Brigade

I dunno I'm afraid the Bernie Bros will downvote me and call me names. I only really feel comfortable defending Biden on r/neoliberal - my safe space.

Please clap

Fight for Biden online while a video of him responding to a reasonable question from a boomer democrat with "go vote for someone else" while pushing and poking him goes viral, oh god good luck, ya gonna need it.

Somehow BernieBros defend every video of Bernard saying something stupid. Doesn’t seem that hard.
35
If by reasonable question you meant unanswerable question that was sprung on him by an activist of another candidate pretending to be a supporter in line to get a picture.

BidenBros wanted
Are you willing to have your personal address leaked by an official member of the Bernie Sanders campaign? Have you ever wondered what it was like to get rape and death threats for pointing out that a guy who doesn't want to cut social security doesn't want to cut social security? Do you see yourself trying to block a pasty white college bro who demands you drop whatever you are doing and debate him? Then sign up today for the Hey, Joe Isnt literally Hitler Taskforce (the HJILHT does not cover the cost of security cameras that you had to install because they started fucking with your children)
