Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness talks about harassment from Bernie supporters

[stupickles]

This is the tweet a former Bernie staffer tweeted from a locked account. How many senior Bernie staffers saw these tweets for months and promoted their behavior? It’s commonplace I endure this by extreme Bernie supporters daily. The change has to come from inside their campaign. https://t.co/TyjKc6KGtW

esp bc OP loves microaggressions.

OP isn’t subtle at all but this was still a super gross thing for a Sanders campaign staffer to say. That same account had gross stuff about Pete and Elizabeth too.

But I thought all the toxic Bernie supporters are just Russian trolls. 🤔

Wasn't ashlee marie preston an official surrogate, too?

The View today was insufferable. I can't wait for Super Tuesday to shut everyone up for good.

"Bernie has mean followers online" is not worth this much conversation. It's a generalization based on hearsay from Meghan McCain and people like her.

I mean, when is the View not insufferable??? I feel like Barbara Walters created that show from day one purely to torture me and me alone

If Bernie wants to win, he needs to change the culture on his campaign immediately. It’s blowing my mind that his supporters are even trying to defend this.

Same. I am more disgusted by the day. I was in another post being ripped apart for saying his followers are turning me off from him the other week, and like...OK.

I remember once someone on here commented that they didn't really like Parks and Rec and they got a bunch of replies like, "That's totally fine. It's not for everyone. Your opinion is valid." And they replied that since the fans of Parks and Rec were so sweet, positive and encouraging that they were inspired to give the show another chance.

Bernie followers are the exact opposite of that. And frankly, it's top-down.

Aw lol I can see that. I am one of the people who gave it another shot actually and loved it. xD

Yeah...I worry. Because people have valid points about wanting to shake the Dem party and that's why they are so Bernie or Bust, but is using the presidential election worth the trade-off of what will likely happen if he doesn't win (another Trump presidency)? A lot of people seem to think so. I am not one of them.
