    It’s all over the 'net for at least a decade and a half.

    First I heard it was you using it in as many comments as possible in this thread.

    not all people that wanted bernie then later work against the party. Just like the PUMAs did not do this.

    As a matter of fact, the latter worked against the party in greater proportion than the former. And Sanders’ supporters didn’t form a PAC to fundraise for the Republican candidate. Clinton’s supporters did exactly that in 2008. And then turned around and screamed at everyone to vote blue no matter who.

      Well, I don’t think the worst behaviors of PUMAs was the least bit helpful, either. Any more than the dumbest of the Bernie Bros (even though I’d much rather have Bernie in there than either Obama, Clinton, or Biden)…trying to put a stick in the spokes of the party because the front runner was not your personal choice is just so unhelpful.

        And I think “Party Unity My Ass” followed by “vote blue no matter who” is the absolute height of hypocrisy.
