Yeah, keep tarring Sanders supporters with the same brush, great way to win them over.

At this point I'm just convinced that progressives should start their own party.

Why is it that you always see Sanders supporters doing this and never supporters of any other candidate.

Also this guy is running for Congress, he's not just a random Twitter account.

Yeah, I keep forgetting all of us who support him are racist. Or sexist.

Maybe there should be a third Progressive Party.

You genuinely spend twice as much time attacking your fellow leftists as you do going after Trump/right-wing policies. Someday you and Badger will swap parties and balance will finally be restored to this forum.

Just log off and get outside some time. Make some friends. Please.

Why do you care? You are supposed to be a libertarian. You should be delighted seeing leftists at each others throats.

^^ Yeah the entire forum got onto a groupchat last night and we decided unanimously that you guys are super annoying and that we should all totally just ignore you or whatever because you're, like, really starting to creep us out

There are twice as many extreme-left morons on Atlas as there are blue avatars in total.

Also this is the 2020 board.  There's virtually nothing to talk about, yet, on this board, concerning Trump or right-wing policies.  If you go over to the U.S. General Discussion board I have an entire thread arguing with the blue avatars about impeachment.

Yeah, I keep forgetting all of us who support him are racist. Or sexist.

Not all Sanders supporters are racist/sexist.

But virtually 100% of racist/sexist creeps on left-wing Twitter are Sanders supporters.

Yesterday on twitter, a Warren staffer was harassed as an "establishment shill" and a "centrist" by a throng of bros just because he had the gall to say that Saint Bernie's endorsement of Cenk was disqualifying.
As long as you don't denounce and isolate these people don't complain about the unflattering general impression other people have about you.

These are the mistakes you make when you write a post like this:

1) Assuming that Twitter is representative of any segment of the population of the US. 90% of Twitter content is generated by just 2% of Americans, which means that when you make extrapolations based on what you've seen on that site, you're actually making sweeping generalizations based on an extremely angry group of activists who aren't at all representative of their demographic groups.

2) Assuming that anyone on Atlas cares what happened on Twitter yesterday. Telling us that "someone did something stupid on Twitter" is like telling us that "someone was murdered in Syria." It's become so ubiquitous that we're all now desensitized to it. Nobody cares. Its influence is extremely limited (see point #1).

3) Drawing an equivalency between Twitter users and Atlas users. Atlas is comprised of people who are much more levelheaded and intelligent than the average Twitter mob. Constantly demanding that Atlas Berniecrats (who support Sanders for perfectly legitimate policy-oriented reasons) disavow the behavior of their intellectual inferiors on a completely different website is nothing short of insulting. It shows that you are willing to paint all of Sanders' supporters with the same brush, which is one major reason why nobody takes you seriously on this site.

4) Using the term "Saint Bernie." It detracts from any legitimate points you might've made about Sanders' base. Nobody will listen to your reasonable political opinions if they're interspersed with condescension and ad-hominems. Also, "Saint Bernard" would've been much cleverer.

5) Setting up an unfair ultimatum. There is no reason for you to have an "unflattering general impression" of Sanders' supporters on Atlas because they have never participated in any of the things you've whined about on here. Berniecrats are actually among the least obnoxious posters I've met on this site. Yet for some reason, you think it's fair to demand that they disavow every idiot in every Twitter feud you dredge up-- and if they don't, you'll have an "unflattering impression" of them. Perish the thought! Let's forget the fact that most posters aren't too concerned with your impression of them, seeing as you have a terrible reputation on this site due to your unwarranted antagonism and complete lack of self-awareness. Overall I would say that you either need to leave this site due to your crippling hypocrisy, or simply take a few deep breaths before posting every time you feel your blood pressure starting to rise.

You recommended a post calling my abuse story attention seeking. You don't get to police Bernie people's behavior.

Because some of them are dumb?  Non-Sanders-supporters are 80-85% of the party, we're not a groupthink.  There are plenty of factions I also dislike and plenty of people who speak in provocative generalities to try to get attention.

Pointing out Clinton is awful does not equal supporting Trump.

Reminder of Clinton's horrid politics;

- Supporting the Iraq War
- Supporting Drone Strikes that kill civilians and devastate the Middle East
- Supporting Saudi Arabia
- Support for military coup in Honduras against leftist government
- US intervention in elections in Haiti against leftist party
- Support for Deregulation/Opposition to reinstating glass-steegal
- Support for bailing out the big banks
- Advocating Military Intervention in Libya

And yet still 10,000 better and more electable than the socialist nonsense you would have Americans accept.

[Galeel]

I think all the vicious infighting in the Democratic party is good for Trump, yes, but its not nearly his biggest asset. His biggest asset is by far the strong economy.

She lost the election, but go on.

Trump is trying to get Hilary to run in the primary.  He knows his goose is cooked, and if Bernie is so weak, he would be glad to run against Bernie. Obviously, Trump is worried about Sanders.

The GOP party only were successful against Gore and Hilary due to fact they werent Bill Clinton, but the scandal of Bill Clinton rubbed off both of them. Kerry was very similar as well. But, Bernie or Biden or even Buttigieg are new aged Dems that can best Trump

[John Dule]

Yeah... PittsburghSteel, known Bernie Bro and Atlas progressive.

[Donerail]

Pete did terrible because he got bodied by Amy Klobuchar, absolutely ground into pieces. Not sure how that's a good thing for Bernie!

Also lmao at "twitter is saying"

[free my dawg]

As the CEO of Bernie Sanders, I'd like to welcome my new friends to the coalition. I'm very surprised to hear that TJ in Oregon and PittsburghSteel are backing us (especially the latter), but all is forgiven.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Yeah... PittsburghSteel, known Bernie Bro and Atlas progressive.

PittsburghSteel is Mr. "I'm backing the Tories in 2017 because my mother is a businesswoman".  I don't think that backing Theresa May's bid for a bigger majority is a qualification for being a "Atlas progressive".

[Gracile]

This phenomenon is hardly unique to "Bernie Bros" (though that term is not very accurate or useful as it makes Sanders' supporter base as more limited in scope than it is in actuality). Pretty much any hardcore supporter will bend the truth to prop up their favored candidate.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

As the MacArthur-appointed CEO of Bernie Sanders, I'd like to welcome my new friends to the coalition. I'm very surprised to hear that PittsburghSteel and TimTurner have made their way to our side, but all is forgiven.

Honestly, Bernie’s probably gonna be my second choice if he has another debate like this.  The guy I saw on stage tonight was someone I could see myself voting for.

[Non Swing Voter]

All of the people obsessed with a particular candidate are like this but the ones supporting socialist candidates are particularly bad and dangerous because their nonsense is the best path Trump has to re-election.
