You know, I actually believe you, I believe that they were actually Clinton operatives masquerading as Bernie bros. There have been two major problems that arose. First, Bernie addressed the problem by victim blaming. He blamed Trump instead of just berating the protesters, and no matter how much you like the guy, moderates DID NOT like that. I cannot stress enough that he didn't look presidential doing that, and by not accepting responsibility and by not doing an adequate job saying that the violence was deplorable, he fucked up. I watched the whole clip, he denounced the violence but only AFTER he was done victim blaming, and that was not enough when lots of people were genuinely outraged.

The second thing that fucked him was how hard his supporters have argued that the riots on Friday were totally acceptable. Again, it REALLY pushed moderates away. The riots on Friday were a humongous deal no matter how hard the media tried to spin it. Half of my comments have been spent arguing with Bernie bros because they think rioting, property destruction, and intimidation are all 'peaceful protests'. You guys interrupt speeches from INSIDE the venue instead of outside where the press has already been more than happy to give you abundant coverage. And every single time one of you fights to suppress speech, to stifle alternative viewpoints, the rest of you cheer at the top of your lungs, never realizing just how effectively you're fighting Trump's battles for him.

Bernie would do a lot better if he came across to the general public as civilized. Thanks to his supporters, he doesn't appear that way to the general public. You guys REALLY need to reevaluate what constitutes acceptable protesting if you want to stand even a small chance against Hillary.
