"Bernie Bro" originated on Twitter. Since then, I've heard people who have never used Twitter in their lives reference it, and indicate that it informs their negative conception of Bernie's overall political program. So, I guess Twitter does "matter" in that sense. Unfortunately.

Very similar to what's happened in the UK. Nasty Twitter comments make the newspapers and are usually attributed to Labour members with little evidence. Every anonymous troll's repulsive words are turned around and blamed on Corbyn.

This is the problem with Sanders. As in 2016, he's in a 'knife fight' with people that can hit your spleen at 20 yards, and yet he dares no use anything but a feather as counter. He's got to remember that he's fighting for us and losing is on us far more than on him.

Kamala supporters are by far the most abusive people on twitter so far in the 2020 primary.

I think their motive may be to bait him, but if him saying this might help defray actual harassment & gets actual votes down the line, good. I think all tendencies do this. But I’m an leftist and fully admit the online left for better or worse tweetstorms people. I try not to.

There’s a difference between weighing in to political and media elites (generally good) and coordinated harassment. but whether or not his authentic supporters harass, malicious accounts do, so it’s a problem.

Sure, but now that 'Bernie Bros' are a thing in the discourse, nothing the man says is going to stop people yelling it.

Are you disagreeing with the origination of Bernie Bro? To my knowledge it wasn’t twitter that started it, it was a hit piece: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Bro

Twitter somewhat matters. Veal pens matter. Great and thorough analyses matter but won't fit and opinions matter least. It's a bully pulpit for the usual heavy hitters. Trump doesn't own it, but. . .

Imagine thinking 'respectability' is a thing in a climate which sacrifices children to hate-filled and angry mobs. He's clueless. Hillary and the DNC screwed him over two years ago and he bent the knee for her. He will be screwed over again and will then endorse Kamala for Pres.

I wish Bernie would stop saying Steve Bezos is going to cover the $500 Billion deficit the government runs every year...and pay for all the new shit Bernie wants to dish out for free.
