      I'll let you in on a secret. It's good for Berne that anti-Bernie people are focusing their ire on Chapo & Jacobin rather than on Bernie himself. They serve as a useful lightning rod and distraction. Not one voter in a hundred knows who or what Chapo/Jacobin are.

      But everyone knows what Bernie Bros are. There might not be a formal nomenclature in the wider culture, but there is a recognition of the type. There's a reason that Warren is collapsing but Bernie isn't getting her voters.

      Nobody in real life knows what a Bernie Bros is.

          I've realized that 90% of Bernie support is anti-establishment anarchist dudes who really just hated their female teachers in school. I think women sort of internalize and know this. It's why he did so poorly in NH this time. The supporters alienate a lot of people.

          Apparently Bernie occupies that sweet spot where literally no one outside of Twitter and Reddit knows anything about him but also he is literally the bestest most popular politician in the whole land.

          Can we add "twitter fallacy" to the list of accepted logical fallacies? The assumption that what is widely known in my tiny little corner of social media is of any importance to anyone outside my tiny little corner of social media.

          Can we generalize the twitter fallacy to the mistaken belief that any of our concerns are important to anyone, ever.

          Anyone who watched the 2016 convention and heard them booing and heckling every speaker (or at least, every speaker not literally named Bernie Sanders) sure does.
