      You can glibly say "Twitter doesn't matter," but operatives and pundits have elevated the manner in which a candidate's supporters engage on Twitter as a central campaign issue, which then congeals into an offline narrative. Which can then even color substantive policy debates.pic.twitter.com/w6vqIKHD1Z

      "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.

          Twitter obviously matters to you. So the “unfortunate” part is baloney.

          Yeah, of course. I meant "unfortunate" in the sense that it has these deleterious effects which also "matter."

          Just because "berniebro" was parroted in the MSM, social media was just a single facet of this propaganda.

          It's the wonderful, totally not divisive, influence of Hillary Clinton. During her failed 2008 campaign, If you didn't support her you were a "misogynist Obama boy" The failed smear just got recycled as "misogynist Bernie bro" in 2016.

          Bernie Bro was the Clinton campaign's reboot of "ObamaBro", which they tried in 08. It just didn't stick as well because it was optically harder to blame rich wite kids.

          "Bernie bro" has got to be one of the most manufactured goddamned demographic ever. I mean they just conjured it out of a miasma of market research and projection, bada bing.

          Look into David Brock, Correct The Record. "Bernie Bro" was a million dollar internet propaganda campaign - they even made up fake Bernie supporter Twitter accounts who then would say sexist things to fit the narrative. huge influence.
