@prairieguy2623.bsky.social: Sanders lost fair and square. The BernieBros kept up a very vocal anti-Hillary effort up until Election Day.

I'm constantly marveling at Trump's luck as a politician. He only won in 2016 because he ran against one of the Democrats' weakest candidates. In 2024 he ends up running against someone even weaker.

Hillary was only weak because the media hated her and 15-20 percent of the broad Dem coalition engage in a kamikaze mission to sink her. You’d think people would learn, but here we are with every Democrat who has a political reporter in their Rolodex reaching out to dish hot goss on Biden.

Saying she was weak "only" because of media hate is a bit reductive... interested in seeing what you consider evidence for a broad "kamikaze mission to sink her." That sounds more like what happened to Sanders, TBH.

Sanders lost fair and square. The BernieBros kept up a very vocal anti-Hillary effort up until Election Day.

I don't eve *like* Greenwald but there you go theintercept.com/2016/01/31/t...

The "Bernie Bros" Narrative: a Cheap Campaign Tactic Masquerading as Journalism and Social Activismtheintercept.com The fact that it may be an effective political smear does not make it any less ugly or deceitful.

So no evidence? not surprising. I remember this narrative being debunked years ago. www.salon.com/2020/03/09/t...

There is quantitative evidence disproving the "Bernie Bro" mythwww.salon.com A computational social scientist's study shows Bernie's Twitter followers act pretty much the same as everyone else

Again, this is just cherry picking of *rather recent* history, and pales when put in context.
