but wouldn’t self-organized groups be more prone to BernieBro prob? Org w/o training, lose discipline when difficulties hit.

@SherriMNichols Great point. Self-organized groups find it harder to police their boundaries, and mount defense to being mischaracterized.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

@SherriMNichols That said, the Sanders campaign was a campaign with leadership so this shows mismatch between their movement & campaign.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I think the campaign never knew what to do with the movement, & unlike Obama, movement was less experienced to begin with.

But BernieBros more than few online spats. Harassment of supers was real; person here thought to be super but not was harassed.

@SherriMNichols Yep. That's why I tried not to write about Sanders, or his campaign, but what the movement that carried him means/portends.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

I'm not writing a defense of Sanders' campaign—I don't think the top leadership understood how to run this kind of campaign.

But you have an eye-popping trend; almost all youth of all genders and races going for a 74-year old "democratic socialist"

That is a huge, huge story. Sanders campaign missteps—also big story. Online spats? Maybe one or two stories, not much more.

Also. I bet that "Sanders folks now will vote Trump" is another nothing-burger story. Democrats not more divided than in June 08.
