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

the attitude of the online spats limited the growth of movement. Turned off lots of women otherwise Bernie friendly.

Yep, that's on the Sanders campaign. I don't think they knew how to handle a movement campaign. I mean, he was so unlikely.

Online harrasment is a big deal. My point is that it really takes very few to carry it out.

And at times, bizarre groups and outsiders join harassment campaigns just for the "lulz." It's a thorny problem.

Absolutely. But I’d argue harassment wasn’t just online. BernieBros strategy seemed to be to shout louder, intimidate.

Movement found unexpected success—the campaign had no vision to manage or direct. Shouters got disproportionate attention.

Younger women break so heavily for Sanders that it's worth noting. One part: they came of age in a better era, don't relate.

I mean, I still remember an inane "Clinton cleavage" piece in Washington Post in 2007 that made me cancel WaPo subscription.
