"Nobody likes him"

Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 01/21/2020 - 12:39pm

When will this woman finally go away?

In the doc, you're brutally honest on Sanders: "He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it." That assessment still hold?

Yes, it does.

If he gets the nomination, will you endorse and campaign for him?

I'm not going to go there yet. We're still in a very vigorous primary season. I will say, however, that it's not only him, it's the culture around him. It's his leadership team. It's his prominent supporters. It's his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women. And I really hope people are paying attention to that because it should be worrisome that he has permitted this culture — not only permitted, [he] seems to really be very much supporting it.

First of all, thank you again Hillary. Everytime you speak you make Bernie look good.
I expect a small bump in Bernie's numbers, like when you trashed Tulsi.

Secondly, have you checked the numbers recently?

I’m posting this to show the Daily Kos community that there are a lot of us here who are loyal Hillary supporters and want nothing to do with Bernie or his campaign. Maybe that’s better suited for Twitter, where I am more active these days, but I see a bunch of familiar user names starting to be more active here as the Iowa caucus nears. I’m not a fan of Bernie, but I know he has a vigorous and dedicated campaign and a real shot at this, and that motivates me to support Kamala first, and now Biden.

I noticed a lot of "Bernie Bros are the problem comments".
1) This can't be taken in any way other than STFU
2) Everyone who supports Bernie is a bro
3) The "toxicity and smears" from the Bernie bros includes a) telling the truth, and b) denying smears of Bernie and his supporters

More Bernie supporters voted for Hillary than Hillary supporters voted for Obama. This is a fact.

BTW the kids threw Zephyr Teachout under the bus last night. Is there no one who is safe from the centrists? And have you seen what they write about Tulsi there? If it had been said about Hillary they would have been banned the minute they hit submit. As always it's the f'cking hypocrisy!

@snoopydawg They were the Hillary “Bernie Bros”, except they actually existed and self identified as such. Remember what PUMA stood for? Party Unity My Ass. Remember how we had to handle them with care and let them rage and do mean and nasty shit because HER lost a fair (as far as I know) primary after getting quite nasty, hanging on way after she’d lost and then barely did any work for Obama.

Sometimes I feel like this is something I dreamt. I hardly heard it mentioned in 2016 and again now. But man, you hear Bernie Bro.

Both videos are must watch.

The first video shows how Hillary cannot accept reality. She has talked herself into believing that she had no role in her losing to Trump.
"Of course I take responsibility for my loss...except I'm blaming everyone else for it anyway."

But then in the general Obama took the bank's money too so he really doesn't have room to talk.

Selected excerpts from his Guardian op-ed.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/21/hillary-clinton-be...

I worked for Hillary Clinton. Her attacks on Bernie Sanders are a big mistake

Because of his personal connection to the Clintons and our belief that electing the first woman president was a worthy cause, we joined millions of Democrats in defending and promoting Clinton during the 2016 race.

In the intervening years, we have very publicly reconsidered the single-minded intensity of our Clinton advocacy and apologized for exacerbating divisions between Clinton and Sanders voters. In the process, we have come to realize the extent to which the term Bernie bro marginalizes and erases the voices of millions of people of color and women who are part of the Sanders-inspired “Not me. Us” movement.

Here is the irony: as we began to embrace #NotMeUs and express support for Sanders, a cadre of Sanders haters began trolling and harassing us with the same venom that they attribute to so-called Bernie bros. They impugned our motives and character, called us traitors and sellouts, and mobbed our Twitter threads. It was a disconcerting awakening to the hypocrisy of those who slam Sanders supporters as a bunch of sexist young white males, then engage in identical behavior to those they criticize.

For Clinton to come out rhetorical guns blazing against Sanders weeks before primary voting begins reflects misplaced priorities on the part of the Clinton camp and an unfortunate willingness to amplify destructive myths about Sanders and his supporters. We cannot sit back while the Democratic party establishment tries to minimize and tear down the mass movement Sanders has helped build. That includes the Obamas, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden and other Democratic leaders who over the past two decades have proven unable (or unwilling) to stem a rising and emboldened right wing in America

I just picked out parts but the whole article is worth a read.

Almost nobody is surprised by the hits at Bernie that keeps coming. From ignoring him for over a year to now smearing him every chance they can. But don't forget that Obama already got his jab in when he said that he would stop Bernie from getting the nod.

Bernie's win would show everyone that it was Herheinous herself that people rejected. And Bernie could show how Obama folded to the PTB just because he had always planned on doing it.

During the 2016 campaign, despite the polls, I always said that Hillary would lose to Trump. My reason - Hillary was repugnant to middle America. This disgust runs very deep. The disgust, not just dislike, but disgust, has been growing. We were warned decades ago from people who knew the Clintons when Bill was Governor of Arkansas. I got converted during the 2016 election, but there was plenty of evidence for decades before that, I just preferred to ignore it as inconsequential, as my loyalty was to the Democratic party as a better alternative than the Republican party. Today I want nothing to do with the Democrat party and have registered as unaffiliated in MA. The Republicans are worse, but I am completely disgusted with the idea of supporting the lesser of two evils. I'm done with that. I am a proud part of the real progressive community, including C99, of course.
Unfortunately, the Democrat party is the only horse to ride for Progressives, like Bernie, today. However, the disgust for Hillary still runs deep and wide and her actions confirm this feeling of disgust. It's clearly all about her and more than that it's all about her nasty vitriol. I have to believe that overall she and her actions are just irrelevant and only deepen the American disgust with her.
