Grab the women and children! No wait...don’t do that it could be construed as a rapey Trump-like slogan!
You want to get attacked? Tell mindless Dems that supporting Hillary helped give us Trump. That instantly happened to me.
Can’t decide if this is a coordinated hit piece. Regardless, it’s well timed and won’t be the last.
The 'swarm': How a subset of Sanders supporters use hostile tactics to drown out critics
By Curt Devine, Drew Griffin and Scott Bronstein, CNN
Updated 5:45 PM EST, Fri February 07, 2020
Days after Sanders announced his bid last February, he condemned bullying in an email to his campaign representatives and encouraged them to "engage respectfully."
Bernie Sanders raised massive $25 million in the month of January
But since that time, throngs of his Internet supporters have shunned that approach and continued to use ad hominem tactics to advocate for their preferred candidate.
More than a dozen social media users spoke to CNN about their experiences with bullying by Sanders supporters.
They described threats against family members, the creation of imposter accounts that resembled their own and what some described as being "swarmed," where barrages of vitriol filled their Twitter feeds and inboxes for days after they posted something critical of Sanders

Feminists (and that's who a lot of them are making these complaints) always think they're victims of sexism for stuff that happens on social media to anyone with an actual following.

Wasn’t that a Michelle Obama quote? Haven’t seen her going low and if you read past the headline in this story and listen to Bernie he seems try and rise above too.
Pretty unfair to attribute internet trolling given the volume. That would be like blaming Trump for all of the negative discourse when he was never looking for it.

Trump happened to that...
And Hillary who’s been poking in often lately still feeling the Bern.
Of course the root goes back to the 1970’s decisions on corporate personhood, Reagan’s successful war on labor and the subsequent rise of the DCCC.
The Dems moved their eggs to the corporate basket and anyone who threatens a rise in true populism is an immediate threat to both party establishments.
The biggest fear is a resurgence of a politically empowered middle class. It would be horrible I tells ya!

“If they go low, we’ll go lower”.
“If they bring a knife, we’ll bring a gun”
Donk mindset.
