Elizabeth Warren fails to endorse Bernie and his fans freak the hell out on her Facebook page

After Sanders of Vermont secured a primary win in the neighboring state of New Hampshire, progressives turned their starstruck eyes to Progressive Goddess Warren figuring she could seal the deal for Bernie in her home state primary with a Bernie endorsement.And then she didn’t. In fact, she stayed silent.

Cue Progressive Rageface

Facebook is made for ranting.

And rant they did, ripping into the implicit heresy of Warren’s failure to endorse Sanders by letting her know in no uncertain terms that they are really really really REALLY disappointed. And worse.

Bernie supporters....they just can't seem to understand the harm they themselves do to Bernie's campaign....Warren is a very respected member of Congress and in her state....she will endorse Hillary when the dust settles...Bernie supporters have made certain that will happen.

How do you know they are Bernie supporters? Because you say so? Because "they" say so?
I could say that i am a hot, lonely 18 year old nymphomaniac female that loves old, unemployed men that live in their mom's basement.

Am I? We're on the Internet, you have no idea!!!

This is Hillary's people causing a distraction to pull the focus away from Bill's illegal actions at the Mass. Polls

With a great deal of help from clever minds that find ways for PACS to directly coordinate with campaigns, which we all know is illegal right? actually no. those clever minds have invented a way to circumvent that law and to do it in a way that if it has not already affected Democratic Underground, likely will in the future, let me explain.

Another unfortunate reality is that according to the "loophole" David Brock's SuperPac "Correct the Record" cites in order to circumvent (the until his "innovations" illegal) direct coordination with a campaign is a "loophole" that carves out specifically the supposedly now legal use of any and all internet resources to accomplish the goals of the campaign it is directly coordinating with. This includes creating websites and blogs and any other social media but also allows for internet opinions to be used, not just in the opinion sections of varied news articles, but also in any and all blogs, forums, including discussion boards and any other social media via staff members of the PAC.

This in essence means that literally millions of dark money dollars are at the disposal of those that would hire posters, bloggers, news article commenters and pretty much anything else they wish to fund to undermine one's opponents as long as it is only the internet that is involved.

Expect more shenanigans of this nature posting anonymously as any character one wants is now an actual job with tons of corporate money to draw from if needed.

... a lot of "This is just more of the Berniebro's bullshit", but in reality it's many of his supporters refusing to look into the mirror. Its proven here every single day.

no matter how much I like a politician I can't stand it when people worship them and defend them against all criticism.

already supporting Sanders. Her endorsement wouldn't have mattered, and she knows she'd be endorsing the candidate who won't win.

I see people criticizing her decision, which apparently is still permitted under the 1st amenment, you know, that annoying "free speech etc“ eyeroll eyeroll that some supposedly progressive authoritarian types cant stand.

Someone calls her a "wuss" which is lame and excessive (what are you, twelve, buddy?) but other than that....okay, some people dont agree. HASNT ANYBODY TOLD THEM THEYRE NOT ALOWED TO?

Its funny to hear "freak the hell out" coming from the crowd that has spent the past half year in a series of massively entitled shrieking name-calling meltdowns because not everyone in the Democratic party agrees that Hillary is the best choice for the nomination.

I support Bernie and I am utterly ashamed of many of those who I would otherwise call my brethren. There is absolutely no excuse for being an asshole!

I am disgusted by many of them here, too. And some Hillary supporters here as well.

We are in this together. The sooner we all learn this very simple fact is when a revolution can begin to happen.
