I don’t understand democrats strategy of calling every Bernie supporter Bernie bros, do they think this will not alienate a lot of ppl that they continue to insult?
On The Coli, I get it. It's just a bunch of simpletons having fun and trying to get under people's skin. I think they're fukking clowns and d*ckheads if they can find entertainment in seeing people in dire need of healthcare and economic reform suffer and die by the thousands and lose hope in the system, and life in general. But I understand that this is just a game to them because they have no real horse in the race. They know the "Bernie Bro" is a myth because they know for a fact that there are millions of black and brown, Bernie supporters, women Bernie supporters, and that the majority of any politician's base aren't using Twitter.
The media and the traditional Dem establishment is a whole 'nother story though. They have a vested financial and power incentive to erase the diversity of the people who support Bernie. So if they can dismiss the people who support his platform as just being a bunch of college frat boys harrassing people online, it helps them survive and remain in power.
That's why I loved the whole "Bernie Bruh" thing. It was letting people know that our existence as black men who demand equality, justice, and change won't be ignored.
