1. But I was told these people weren't real, just bots /sarcasm

[applegrove]

2. Sanders needs to denounce him now!

[Squinch]

25. Don't hold your breath.

[krissey]

3. Should Sanders address the issue yet? Or is it still just one or two internet dudes?

[ace3csusm]

4. This is wrong, it needs to stop

How does this help beat Trump, we are better than this

[Nanjeanne]

5. That's disgusting but really,he isn't a surrogate for Sanders. He is a person on

Twitter Who supports Sanders. There is a difference.

[Midnight Writer]

6. That is straight out of Right Wing Hate Radio. Nearly word for word.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. That's fucked up on so many levels*

* I rarely curse on DU or IRL

[SWBTATTReg]

9. Ditto. A shame...a real shame. I guess when election comes rolling around, some of the worse ...

comes out in some ...

[sheshe2]

8. John Graziano (TYT)

Enough said.

[krissey]

10. These are the people that even his supporters asked Sanders to not get near. Yet, Sanders did.

[sheshe2]

11. Yep.

[UniteFightBack]

12. Who is this guy ...some rando or...???? nt

[Bettie]

13. That is not OK in any way

the person who posted it should not be working for a Democratic campaign.

[lunasun]

14. Is he working on Sanders campaign ? What area do you know?

Edit to add ‘ I see now he is working on a senate campaign Disgusting
Sorry

[Nanjeanne]

27. Really - proof please because I haven't seen any.

[lunasun]

campaign

I was apologizing to the poster I replied to because I did not see what campaign it was and it was not Sanders which I asked about
so silly question it was right in the OP title...I got confused

[peggysue2]

15. This is disgusting!

And this will not win votes because making outrageous accusations is no better than what Trump and his evil band of enablers do on a daily basis.

[Scurrilous]

16. He's one of those who think health plan proposals can kill!

I wonder how he feels about aspirational health care plans? Maybe no one has told him the new talking points.

Solidarity with Comrade Malcolm X & the Black Panthers. Need a 21st century Black Panthers...

Comrade? LOL Youthful folly.

'In contrast to MLK, Malcolm X embraced the teachings of the black leader Marcus Garvey, who believed in entrepreneurship and economic self-sufficiency as a means of gaining both economic and political freedom for African Americans. This is overlooked in many political circles where Malcolm X commands considerable respect.' Jose Nino February 21, 2019

20. JHC!

[Nanjeanne]

18. Staffer? If you are posting something from Twitter you should at least have an accurate title.

This is some supporter of Sanders on Twitter. He is not a staffer. He is not a surrogate. He's a guy. Perhaps change it to Some Guy On Twitter Posts Something Bad About Pete.

[Moderateguy]

22. He works for a Candidate who has publicly claimed

that she has Sanders' support

[Scurrilous]

23. Sema chatting it up with Briana.

Plain ol' asshole - Chief Technical Officer to the @Sema4Texas campaign.


IMHO...this is what happens when you embrace certain people we've discussed previously, a lot. It sends a message. The wrong message. And then this stuff starts popping up all over. Good luck.

[Nanjeanne]

24. Oh I see. We are playing Six Degrees of Separation. I like Kevin Bacon!

Let's see what I could find out. He is a tech consultant doing web design for The Young Turks. He is also an Education Consultant for Wild Parrot Lead which is a curriculum on bird care. I bet we should probably all free out parakeets as a protest.

God this place is weird.

[LongtimeAZDem]

31. He compared Pete Buttigieg to Jeffrey Dahmer, and you're making parakeet jokes.

That's really, well, I don't even know how to describe that.

[Nanjeanne]

33. No what's weird is I said it's disgusting but isnt Saders responsibility.

Everything fucking thing someone does isn’t Sanders responsibility. Support your ca di date. Get on the phones. Go knock on doors.

[LongtimeAZDem]

35. It was an incredibly despicable comment, and all you care about is defending Bernie

I have no words, at least none that I'll post.

[Nanjeanne]

36. Oh for fucks sake. The offensive comment had nothing to do with Sanders.

And the person is NOT a staffer of Sanders as the OP suggests. No one is defending the comment made by a supporter of Sanders.

I’ve never seen people so completely devoid of reason when they read something on Twitter.

But this whole thing is so insane I’m starting to realize I’m insane for engaging as if there is any way to reason with unreasonableness.

[LongtimeAZDem]

37. The OP clearly states that it is a staffer of a senate candidate. I never suggested, or implied,

in any way, that Sanders was involved.

If you'll excuse me, you're not someone I wish to talk to anymore.

[Nanjeanne]

38. Thanks. Good idea. Glad to see the OP changed the title of the post.

[Otto Lidenbrock]

39. I didn't change the title at all. You kept misreading it.

[Nanjeanne]

40. No you didn't. Shame. I thought you had from what you said. You still are implying he

Works for Sanders. But it’s my fault for trusting you had changed it.

[MrsCoffee]

41. Shame?

You are the one mistaken here.

[Otto Lidenbrock]

42. What part of "senate candidate" do you not get? Everyone else understood.

[William769]

19. Remember Sanders doesn't allow this stuff to happen.

[Cha]

21. uh huh..

[wyldwolf]

26. so someone said something mean about someone on the internet. Both sides do it

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Sanders needs to start clamping down on these so-called "supporters".

While I suspect that the vast majority of Bernie supporters are good and reasonable people who want a progressive future, Ratfuckers that want to trash other Democrats seem to show up in his internet followers.

Republicans always set up shop with the farthest left candidate and then proceed to shoot down all other candidates from the high ground. This has been a Republican campaign tactic since at least Nixon.

So Bernie ought to have a war room established to deal with ratfuckers who use their BS affiliation to toss out Republican talking points against the LGBTQ community.

[redstatebluegirl]

34. Bullies always get the attention

[highplainsdem]

30. Disgusting.

[mcar]

32. Holy sh!t!

I have no words.
