Hopefully I was offering you a way to reach them? Like I think its ineffective but I genuinely cant blame people who get rude when they feel like people are advocating against things that are life or death for them (not saying you're saying that at all, but yknow.. politics..)

A third of them consist of solely posting pictures of Bernie, as if that will annoy me (it doesn’t, they’re bots). Another third tell me to go fuck myself (half of those are real). The final third tell me to go fuck myself in slightly more polite language (most of those are real)

None of them are going to be reachable, because of those who are real, they took a generic statement (some of Bernie’s supporters are real shitheads) and applied it to themselves with no reason other than a cult of personality, then came and acted like shitheads.

So what I'm saying is they did the taking that statement as a direct attack because theyve been hammered on this exact shit for 4 years now. Even the faintest dogwhistle is going to set off people, nevermind bad actors who make shithead leftist bots to create this exact conflict

I see playing into that division as a problem. Take a step back. The onslaught of bots and bad faith people are intended to make you lash out at people like me and get them to radicalize. Cults and Republicans do the same shit.

Here’s the thing - I like Bernie. That’s not going to change, despite the shittiness of a vocal minority of his supporters. I like Warren a little bit more, but if Bernie’s the nomination, I’m more than happy to vote for him. There are a *lot* of people who don’t take that view.

And every time they get fucking inundated for daring to criticize one of Bernie’s stances, there’s a very good chance they say “fuck it, I’m not voting for that asshole if this is how his supporters treat me.” And trust me, I’m not one to tone police people. I like getting rude.

All I’m saying is, if you really want Bernie to win, the next time you see someone say “Damn, Bernie has some really toxic supporters behind him,” don’t go rushing in to add more noise to the volume. Snowflakes and avalanches and all that.

I get your frustration, I was kind of hoping to do the opposite and be like "hey maybe we could try and figure out how to resolve this very transparent effort by special interests to divide the left" and "hey I can see you say this thing that hurts and deal because I'm an adult"

I mean, it really is as simple as not responding when someone offers a fair criticism (and to be clear, this is not directed at you personally). My initial tweet on how I thought Bernie’s camp amplifying the Rogan endorsement was dumb caught a *ton* of flak, some bots, some not.

Then when I posted on how the toxic elements of his supporters are the absolute worst, the shit hit the fan, when it would have been so easy to just say “wow, yeah, Bernie does have some toxic supporters, glad I’m not one of them.”

There’s a reason the bots are infesting Bernie’s camp, and a lot of it has to do with the groundwork his supporters have laid. The best way to change that is to not be like the bots (and again, this is not directed at you personally, I appreciate having an actual conversation)
