CORRECTION: This Is The Worst Bernie Sanders Article Ever Written

Self appointed Hillary Clinton and People of Colour defender Candice Aiston took a short break from likening Hillary Clinton to Jesus and claiming that Democrats were literally 'entitled' to the votes of minority groups in order to write a truly awful article suggesting that Bernie Sanders supporters essentially target aforementioned minority groups who do not share their politics and dig up old tweets which could be seen as controversial in order to "silence women and POC". We will now take great delight in explaining how Candice is being extremely disingenuous when discussing the interactions between Democrats and left-wing accounts on social media.

Firstly, it must be said that some of the tweets from left-wing accounts Candice uses to back up her stance are extremely worrying, whether they happen to be in jest or not. Two tweets stick out, one suggesting that the "RIP Candice Aiston" Twitter Trend could be relating to her death and another calling Candice a "fucking white supremacist" - no matter how much you disagree with someone, these Tweets are appalling and don't help getting people to join your side.

Now comes the hypocrisy. A popular talking point from Candice and fellow Centrist Democrats is that any response from a Bernie Sanders supporter, whether it's abusive or a general disagreement, is to simply suggest that this is targeted abuse as large numbers of left-wingers aim to silence "women and POC", women and POC that Candice likes to use as a shield in order to wiggle out of a substantive debate on the tweets she puts out, in this article she even goes as far to say that she needs to "educate people" who dislike Hillary in favour of Bernie or Trump and their "abusive, misogynist and racist campaigns"and that Candice's wise words allowed them to see how evil Bernie Sanders truly is, I believe smug is the word to use here.

As for instances of "Bernie supporters harassing and group reporting" Candice and people who share her views, let me see her explain this:

'Cake Daddy' also dedicates most of his time dragging Bernie's name through the mud on Twitter and will scald anyone who steps too far to the Left, claiming that the 14% of Black people who voted for Bernie in 2016's Democratic Primaries are 'lazy, uneducated pitiful Black folks.' But it's the Left who are engaging in racial attacks, right?

Most of Candice's article is just repeating how Sanders supporters responding to Democrats is somehow racist and sexist, which makes complete sense. Put it this way, on my personal account, I once replied to someone called 'Bravenak' who was posting anti-Bernie sentiments as I saw that one of my followers had also replied to her. My response was this: "Hahahahahahaha. You're insane." That's it. Now we can argue about the use of the word insane here or about the fact that I was branded a "racist piece of shit" and was apparently "targeting her because she is a woman of colour", which wasn't the case, I simply disagreed with her political opinion, but that's racist nowadays. 

The major gripe I have with Candice's article is the part where she labels "BernieBro's" as the aggressors. In her exchange with a user named @alexistired, which she uses to show how Bernie supporters apparently try to silence her, she ENTERS the conversation with Alex, who is initially replying to someone else, who suggests that Bernie's model resulted in the New Deal, to which another user replies "he was probably at the table that old crust", Alex responds and here enters Candice, clearly being targeted aren't you? The rest of their arguments is just arguing about who's white and who gets to defend people of colour.

Let's give Candice and Bernie's detractors the benefit of the doubt and say they're 100% correct, leftist BernieBro's are targeting them, using racism, misogyny and homophobia in order to silence the Democratic moderates, POC and women, because, you know, we're pure evil. Should you decide to simply scroll through any aforementioned person's Twitter account and read the Tweets and how they demonise anyone who didn't vote for Hillary Clinton, even going as far to suggest that online Bernie Sanders supporters are doing the bidding of a foreign power, that being Russia. Yet leftists are the instigators? They insult anyone who doesn't agree with them and then as soon as you respond it becomes "targeted harassment" all of a sudden, that's how this works.
Remember, it's the Bernie supporters who are harassing Democrats, apparently.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p...

Why The Labour Party Lost The UK Election

Whichever way you approach the recent UK election, it would be fair to say that the Labour Party experienced a drubbing, resulting in a loss of 60 seats and handing the Conservative Party a large parliamentary majority. There has however been a fierce debate surrounding the reasons for Labour’s defeat, reasons ranging from Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn himself or supposedly racist voters. This debate has deeply spilt the two main factions of the Labour Party, between moderates and progressives. Blairites vs Corbynistas if you will. Moderates place the blame solely at the feet of Jeremy Corbyn, his supposed anti-semitism and poor electability. Progressives see this defeat as a result of a Brexit backlash with many Leave voters leaving the Labour Party while the Conservative Party had one core message: “Get Brexit Done” which seemingly resonated. It is fair to suggest that Corbyn’s popularity isn’t exactly soaring, with the mere mention of his name bringing about a whole range of different...

Sally Albright: I'd Prefer 4 More Years Of Trump Than President Bernie Sanders

One of the main talking points used against Bernie Sanders and his supporters is that their lack of enthusiasm and support for Hillary Clinton in 2016 directly led to Donald Trump becoming president, with Sanders supporters being labelled as privileged and sexist for not backing Clinton, and yes that includes you misogynistic Jill Stein/Green Party voters! However, our favourite anti-Bernie Democratic loyalist, Sally Albright, now insists that it isn’t pivotal that you support the Democratic nominee in order to defeat Donald Trump, should Sanders win the 2020 Democratic nomination. Albright recently claimed that “ 4 more years of Trump would be better in the long run ” as opposed to a President Bernie Sanders. This comes after the “moderate” wing of the Democratic Party have spent the past three years suggesting that apathetic Sanders supporters are the cause of every terrible Trump decision and we’d be in a utopia if us sexists would have just fell in line behind Clinton.
