anyway bernie otm
i don't think bernie supporters are notably more "toxic" than supporters of other candidates. this is just an idea that's been promoted to discredit the candidate.

mmm they kinda are? The bros are, especially on Twitter. Messianic fervor is a helluva thing in politics.

his campaign is explicitly not personality-driven. so, if people think he is the messiah that is their problem

Rabid twitter people ≠ most supporters. No way are Bernie’s stable of vocal zealots more toxic than Gabbard’s or Trump’s or, hell, Roy Moore’s.

Bingo.
Also, that Fassler guy seems to be more invested in going after Bernie than Republicans/status quo.

it would be really interesting to see what happens with Bernie stans if he actually became president (and I hope he does!). because he will inevitably disappoint in many ways, as all presidents do, and I wonder if the people who spend half the day on Twitter replying "go off king" to every Sanders utterance will turn on him or put on blinders/make excuses. my guess is the latter.

Same thing I tell Warren supporters: his plans don't mean shit until we win the Senate.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 3 January 2020 14:35 (four years ago) link
Plans are points of inspiration, to-do items, which is why they should be as ambitious as possible and insult as many people in the establishment as possible.

Alfred otm. Radicalism has no end point it, it's a program of continuing demands
― Kebabs Windsor (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 January 2020 14:44 (four years ago) link
It’s literally the smallest anecdotal evidence possible but I had dinner with my best bud last weekend and when talk turned to politics he derided Warren for, ironically enough, not having any plans and more or less saying she was going to fix things magically. I think her waffling on raising taxes to support M4All is the germ of this sentiment because my friend also praised Bernie for being willing to say he’d tax the shit out of rich people to fund his ambitions.

I don't know enough to say how toxic "berniebros" are but they have definitely been the most exhausting to me since 2016.

He’s right though. A war in iran would be a catastrophe of extraordinary magnitude, probably worse than any of us can imagine, and this inside baseball media nonsense doesn’t matter at all.

Bernie's complete refusal to apologize is worrying. If he won't apologize here, is there anything he won't apologize for. And if he won't apologize then his acolytes are going to take the message that apologizing is a sign of weakness. Once a self-reinforcing crowd mentality of not-apologising starts to take hold we're in real trouble. We saw this before with the election of Trump
Guys, this is hardly conducive to building bridges. The blame goes right to the top
