Further proof that Bernie is a FF and these sexist clowns would be better off joining Trump's campaign.

The correct term is "Paultards".

Anyone using the term "Bernie Bros" needs to be reined in.

If the campaign is addressing this, I have to imagine that over the top supporters are becoming a real issue that could cause damage. Candidates often get blamed for the behavior of their supporters.

Unless you're Donald Trump and your supporters beat up homeless people because they're "passionate."

Fairly sure Trump was attacked and blamed for that

There's a reason Paul's campaign died around the same time Sanders caught momentum. There's also a reason why the Paulbot spam on the internet is only a fraction of what it was in 2008/2012. They've been annexed by the Sandernistas, with only isolated pockets of Randbot true believers still waging jihad.

He should have done this two months ago, but okay.
Maybe he can start with jfern.

I honestly don't think most 2012 Ron Paul suupporters are on Sanders teams. There are some overlaps here and there but I haven't really met any 2012 Ron supporters who now support Sanders.

For what it's worth, Rand Paul recently held a very popular AMA on Reddit. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ron/Rand Paul cult and the Sanders cult are completely separate.

I think that whole bloc is 10-15% people who legitimately think libertarian ideas are good, 25-30% people who legitimately think socialist positions are good, and 55-65% kids who just want to be a part of some big movement against their parents and the status quo and want to believe in fringe political positions so they can feel unique and smarter than everyone else.
Paul had more women supporting him... I think a lot of girls in that 55-65% now are getting caught up in the tumblr race/sex/lgbt thing, and the popular position there is to be double-nonconformist (I guess if you're already surrounded by people like that who like Bernie it's just nonconformist within your social group) by saying Bernie is "just another straight old white guy"

"Bernie Bros" aka Man-children who want to be able to sit on their couch and have bernie give them free $$$$ so they can smoke pot and play video games all day long.




There's a reason Paul's campaign died around the same time Sanders caught momentum. There's also a reason why the Paulbot spam on the internet is only a fraction of what it was in 2008/2012. They've been annexed by the Sandernistas, with only isolated pockets of Randbot true believers still waging jihad.


Paul's campaign died when Trump came along and absorbed the Conspiracist/White nationalist/Paleo-Conservatives that Ron Paul got and rand got only because he was the son. That made up 60% of his pre-trump entrance support. the 30-40 that gives him 3-4% in GOP polls is his libertarian base that didnt leave.

Most of those voters only sided with The Pauls as a protest vote and left as soon as Trump came in and share the same opinions they did.
