5. these "Bernie Bros" are real

Mar 2020

For every 10 "Bernie bros"'s comment, while I think there are definitely russian trolls and republican pretenders, there are at least 1 or 2 that are real life people. When I refer to "Bernie Bros", I don't mean every single Bernie supporters, it is the "Bernie or Buster" or "Never Biden" people.

And I don't blame Bernie for "Bernie Bros" because I know he can't control Russian trolls and republican pretenders online. What I blame Bernie for is continuing to hire "Bernie Bros" as his campaign manager and surrogates and peddle right wing attacks. They just amplify the message to their supporters.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
