Democratic Primaries

Link to tweet
When CNBC lamented that Warren would be bad for Wall Street with all her regulation, the Bernie-Bros flocked to Twitter to correct the record that when CNBC said they were afraid of Warren, they really meant to say they are afraid of Bernie.
When Jill Stein recently wrote a tweet, people told her to just go away. Upon seeing this, a Bernie-Bro commented how he loves watching liberals get triggered.
And here we have Twitter-User David Silverstone,
* who spreads the false republican talking-point that the Democrats are still connected to the KKK, ignoring that this wing of the Democrats switched over to the Republicans in the 1960s when the Republicans went full-on racist with their "Southern Strategy"
* who spreads the false russian talking-point that both political parties of the US are basically identical and that both are evil

(5,969 posts)I think we all have a pretty good understanding about what kind of people we are talking about. The notion that they don't exist is pretty much gaslighting. Another absurd argument used is that they don't exist because BS also has female followers.
But then again, if they could think logically, they wouldn't continue to believe that there is no difference between a Dem and a Repub and that sticking it to the Dem party by getting Trump elected doesn't bring them an inch closer to what they pretend they are about.

(5,969 posts)Either in threads particularly on that subject or even in this thread. I understood mythical as a denial of their existence or of them being a problem but I suppose it was meant to be closer to what you expressed.

(31,397 posts)when the mafia tried to claim that they did not exist. There was no such thing as "organized crime."
Does anyone else remember that? That was gaslighting, too.

(8,372 posts)And their deplorableness in the last election is one of the reason why we have a Trump-overseen DOJ that is wanting to dismantle the Constitution, among other democracy-destroying acts from this administration.
Calling them out on their bullshit and preventing them from ratfucking the Democratic nominee (once again) is helping to put an end to all of that, thank you very much.

(1,315 posts)simply because they facilitate the win of Donald Trump. In the last GE, millions of them voted for Trump or Stein under the leadership of David Sirota, Nina Turner, Brihana Joy Grey and Cornel West.
Have we forgotten?
