Joy Reid: why are black potential candidates getting singled out for attacks by Bernie people?

132. I think there was a huge separtion between Bernie supporters and the

the vicious online jackals who were the "bros". They did ensnare many of the naive. Lots of people liked Bernie just fine, but were not under any delusions that he was something he was not. A vast majority of them voted for the nominee of the party, and very small minority (sadly, enough to make a difference) were intransigent, they believed the propaganda that is still even now being pushed, since it catered to their ignorance, their psychological issues and their anger. They literally didn't know how or why the things they were being told were just not true.

Take a look at how many still don't have a clue that political parties don't run elections. Kind of a basic thing to learn about government in the U.S. and they lack that knowledge.

Then there are the nefarious actors who keep peddling their strawmen that anyone who calls out the bad actors is somehow savaging anyone who supported Bernie, which is laughable on its face, and then you had the factions drawn and the divisions created. The divisive forces are still out there and they know they don't even have to be covert anymore.
