The “BernieBro” myth persists because pundits don't understand how the internet works

If you feel so insecure about this shit, do the American thing: Buy a gun to protect yourself.

Trying to ignore the 1st Amendment because you don't feel like people should be able to shit-talk a political group is not how the USA operates.

I sure hope you're a fucking teenager, because you clearly lack a firm understanding of how the world works. Maybe when you realize in a few years just how important it is to have some fucking perspective, you'll look back on this and think, "Man, was I an idiot."

The truth is that in this era, more than ever before, socialism is actually starting to be viewed by a larger chunk of the US public as less-than-evil.

It has never been a better time than right now to run for office as a socialist.

And the last time socialists even had a shot at political power in the USA, the factory owners were paying thugs and cops to beat up, murder, and generally demoralize the socialist organizers.

People are actually being persecuted around the world, right now.

Socialism hasn't been this popular in the USA for over 100 years.

You're being dramatic. You don't know what you're talking about. And I seriously doubt you're even old enough to vote because you apparently toss around the 'fascism' label like a high-school student.

Go read a book, yo. Watch some youtube videos. Read some literature on the state of international criminal law.

And lastly, study up on forming a convincing argument.

Appeals to emotion, slippery slope, and name-calling rarely work to convince people that you're actually knowledgeable about a topic.

For real... this little rant you're on right now makes Bernie supporters look bad. You don't come across as even being close to someone I'd want to represent this movement. And you're so far off the mark on what Bernie would say about the issue that I have to consider the possibility that your ranting is part of a bad-faith attempt to make us all look really childish, emotional, and un-American.
