I am getting heartily sick of the Bernie-Bros “meme”. There are lots of women who supported Bernie including those pictured above at this mornings Florida delegation meet and greet breakfast/ Wasserman Roast. A diary posted here this morning about the dust up had this to say:
“this is disturbing and i hope it is NOT a sign of what is to come. the loud boos are from male voices. doesn’t that just sum it up. creepy. men. creepy!”
Yeah, those creepy men...like those pictured above from this article at MSN.
“As she spoke, people stood on chairs holding up signs that said "emails," "No!," and "Thanks for the 'help,' Debbie."
Others repeatedly shouted: "Shame."
The heckling didn't stop even as Wasserman Schultz mentioned last night's shooting in Fort Meyers, Florida, that left two dead and more than a dozen injured.
Wasserman Schutz was defiant, insisting delegates would see more of her.
"You will see me every day between now and Nov. 8 on the campaign trail and we will lock arms and we will not stand down," she said.
She also took on those heckling her.
"We know the voices in this room that are standing up and being disruptive, that's not the Florida we know. The Florida we know is united, the Florida we know will continue to create jobs," she said.”
DWS...clueless as well as shameless.
I am a man, at least some would testify to this, as you can see from my icon, but I entered into this primary season as a Hillary supporter because I assumed she had a nearly unobstructed path to the nomination and I am a party voter.
But in March I went to a Bernie rally in my hometown, intending to write a diary and it was there that I was converted to supporting him. And you know what? It wasn’t the brahs who led me to the light but the young progressive sisters mostly...
And later there were many in the media….
So, let’s lay off the Bernie Bro garbage.
Memo to Hil supporters:
You do not own the DNC, you do not own the party.
You do not own a gender.
