Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: There is hard data that shows "Bernie Bros" are a myth [View all]lambchopp59
(2,809 posts)25. I've been pointing this out here for some time
Sometimes the process of candidate selection can get ugly, when I've mentioned that some blows from the more popular camp toward Bernie supporters in general here on DU land a bit below the belt, most often replies to this consist of:
At the ratio of about 5 to 1 post from a "Bernie Bro" that could be considered a bit off color.
Both my favorites, Kamala and Liz are gone, I'm only solidly in the "OMG any Dem will do" camp these days, a bit frustrated that anyone truly believes there's any "reaching across the isle" to the party of obstruction so severe it will require surgical intervention to remove the dried up old stool stopping up the whole country's progressive works. Frustrated the Overton Window has slid so far right that "anti-socialist" rants invade "liberal" discussion boards like this.
Sigh, we'll probably have to settle for a "corporatist lite" and progress largely at stagnation regardless.

Oh, you're very wrong. But, because you disagree with me, you feel entitled to insult me?

Who actually cares at this point? The race is over, Bernie should snap out of denial and drop out.
