New anti Bernie meme developing

Bernie is the first to fling poo!

Now personally I find this rediculous, but I've seen it in GD, just now, we should be ready for it.

Bernie runs campaigns that are clean and hard hitting on issues. When the winning beats truth crowd feels they've been touched we will see this notion again.

ad or act or statement in his life.

Sometimes the TRUTH can sound like you are attacking someone, though

The headline writer went for horse race click-bait rather than the substance.

Unfortunately DU has a tendency to fly off the handle sometimes over stuff like that.

It's hard not to argue with some of the jaw-dropping hyperbole that the tiny minority of DU is trying to use to remain relevant. Look at me! I'm outraged!!!!! Me me me me MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Also the idea that "a Bernie supporter said something mean so that means Bernie is mean!!!!!!!"

Energy is much better spent spreading the Good News of Bernies platform. There are people who are joining voting for the first time who need to be educated on the primary and caucus process. We need to start talking to folks who want a REAL change, and that means a candidate running outside the system plain and simple. People power.
