🍩: "Some black people supported the crime bill. Therefore, neither that legislation nor anything Biden or the Clintons did/said in favor of it was racist. If you want to see a racist pol, look at Bernard."
🌹: "What in his record is racist?"
🍩: "He voted for the crime bill!"

🌹: "Another yuge rally for Bernie is underway--"
🍩: "Crowds are NOT representative!"
🌹: "You seem nervous."
🍩: "We're not. Bernard needs WAY more PoC than he had in '16. By our count, however, -2 are at that rally."
🌹: "But you said crowds are unrepresentative."
🍩: "Die."

🍩: "The left is racist & sexist!"
🌹: "You minimize real--"
POLITICO: "Sanders is cheap, duplicitous and too rich."
🌹: "That attack plays on anti-Semitic--"
🍩: "Just to shield greedy traitor Bernard, you minimize real anti-Semitism."
🌹: "Historical rec--"
🍩: "How dare you?!"

🍩: "Anyone who criticizes Bernard is then harassed with racist and/or misogynistic venom -- even threats -- by his cult."
🌹: "Do you have an example?"
🍩: "^ I rest my case."
🌹: "How does my question exemp--"
🍩: "Blocked, reported. And y'all say BernieBros don't exist. 🙄"

🍩: "You BernieBros don't know how government works. But you feel entitled to lecture us about it."
🌹: "What do you mean?"
🍩: "For example, you say Bernard is pro-black. Yet, Vermont is all white!"
🌹: "His record proves he has always been an ally of--"
🍩: "Here is his
(1/3)

record. Vermont imprisons blacks at a disproportionately high rate."
🌹: "Seconds ago, you said there *are* no black Vermonters."
🍩: "You cannot rebut the point. Typical!!"
🌹: "I can. Because Bernie has not been in state gov't, he has had no role in VT's policies on

criminal justice. You don't know about federalism. But you feel entitled to lecture--"

BERNIE: "The Demuhcraddic Poddy ought to serve the workizz, the paw & the middle class, not the top 1 puhcent."
👷🏽‍♀️: "There's finally a politician who makes sense. I'd vote for that guy in a heartbeat."
🍩: "Excuse me. Are you aware Bernard is not a Democrat?"
👷🏽‍♀️: "Who??"
(1/5)

🍩: "Sanders."
👷🏽‍♀️: "Oh, Bernie?"
🍩: "Uh, yeah."
👷🏽‍♀️: "Why did you call him 'Bernard'?"
🍩: "Just-- Do you know he is not a Dem?"
👷🏽‍♀️: "I vote for the person, not the party. I'm not even sure I'm registered with one."
🍩: "Well, why should my party take advice from someone

who is NOT EVEN A DEMOCRAT?!"
👷🏽‍♀️: "I don't usually have time to pay a lot of attention to politics. But Bernie seems to have good ideas and--"
🍩: "Do you know he is a socialist?"
👷🏽‍♀️: "Yeah. I was not sure exactly what that meant. But I heard him be asked about it. His

answer sounded like what this country needs at this point. I think he says what a lot of people have wanted to say but they hadn't really--"
🍩: "F___ you."
👷🏽‍♀️: "Whoa! Buh-bye."
Republican consultant & anti-Trump conservative RICK WILSON: "Dems, don't nominate Sanders.
(4/5)

Swing voters would find out he is a self-described socialist. As a result, he would lose in 44 states."
🍩: "Now, *that* makes sense! My party should take Rick's advice!"
WILSON: "Just don't look for what I said about Hillary or about how she would fare against Trump."
(5/5)

🍩: "VT, which is too white and is Bernie Bro Central, is not part of the real America. Bernard is thus unfit to be president. Real Dems don't chase Bros or any other whites."

Also 🍩: "We're thrilled that Kamala might campaign in VT! She'd win there!"

tRump: "Punch hecklers!"
Biden: "I want to punch Trump."
Booker: "I want to punch Trump."
Klobuchar: "I throw office supplies at my staff."
Williamson: "Only love can drive out hatred."
🍩: "Whoa! Williamson is nuts! BTW, have you noticed Bernard is just like Trump?"

🍩: "Bernard's endorsement is the kiss of death!"
🌹: "You mean he stumped for Hillary too much?"
🍩: "No! She lost b/c he did not stump for her *enough*!"
🌹: "He did 3x more for her than she did for Obama. She still lost b/c her--"
🍩: "How dare you say she lost?! She won!"

🍩: "Bernard lacks enough experience to be president!"
🌹: "For eight yrs., he was mayor of the largest city in his state. He has served in Congress since '91. Who else--"
🍩: "Yet, he claims not to be in the establishment! He has been in office too long! We need a fresh face!"

🍩: "Bernard is lazy, dumb, ignorant about gov't, and clueless on foreign affairs."

Also 🍩: "Bernard masterminded titanic violations of campaign finance laws, defrauded a bank and is a longtime agent of the Kremlin but still eludes the FBI, CIA, FEC and investigative media."

🍩: "Bernard has no chance to be nominated. He is irrelevant and will therefore not be discussed by us anymore. 'Bernie' who? LoLz"

Also 🍩: "BernieBros, beware. We will tirelessly, relentlessly expose Bernard until he ends his campaign and resigns from office in disgrace!"

🍩: "B/c Liz & Bernie are the same, he should endorse her now. We progressives need unity!"
🌹: "You regularly vilify the left and tell us to leave your party. But if Liz & Bernie are the same, why should he be the one to quit?"
🍩: "Simple. Bernard is a mirror image of

Trump."

🍩: "Both use racist, sexist, xenophobic rhetoric!"

🍩: "What more could I say in order to make my point?"

least one fact about policy."
🍩: "If we were in person, I would smack you!"
🌹: "Now who sounds Trumpian?"
🍩: "You, b/c BernieBros and Trumpers cannot handle nuance. Like I said, a mirror image."
🌹: "You also said Bernie and Liz are the same. By your logic, she mirrors

Trump, also."
🍩: "Like I said, I would punch you. Now, stop your intimidation tactics. I feel threatened."
🌹: "You're the one who expressed a desire to assault."
🍩: "Congrats! A screencap of your replies will be sent to Bernard's campaign and the DNC!"
🌹: "O...kay."

📊: "Among black voters, Sanders remains ahead of Harris."

Harris: "Nothing I do will benefit *only* black people."

Sanders: "Nothing I do will benefit *only* black people."

🍩: "What Bernard just said is why black people hate him and will deliver the nomination to Kamala."

🍷: "Bernie would lose the general election. Unlike him, Hillary knows how to defend against political attacks."

(Sanders defends himself against attacks by Clinton)

🍷: "Bernie's negativity hurts Hillary's chance in the general!"

handle his defense, how would she endure what the Republican--"

🍷: "How dare Bernard run again?! His attacks on Hillary elected Trump! Plus, Bernard remains unelectable."
🌹: "If Bernie's 'attacks' are so

potent that they brought down the Clinton machine, how could he lose to Trump?"
🍷: "Bernard can attack but cannot defend. Unfortunately, neither Hillary nor the media ever attacked him."
🌹: "What?!"
🍷: "Once he is attacked, he'll be finished."

(Sanders defends himself
[3/4]

from attacks by media)

🍷: "Bernard's attack on media disqualifies him. Notice, both he and Trump bash WaPo. Any people who criticize the same outlet are obviously the same as each other."

(Trump bashes Fox News)

🌹: "So, what do you think of Fox?"

🍩: "To win the Democratic nomination requires a coalition mostly of women and PoC. Thus, Bernard has no chance!"

🍩: "B/c IA will vote first even though it is too white and has caucuses, the candidates should boycott it and spend more time in diverse states. We must not let the result in IA shape the race."
📰: "Poll: Sanders 3rd in IA"
🍩: "The people have spoken. Bernard must quit now."

🍩, before Tue.: "Bernard should quit the race b/c his ideas are $#!%. He should resign from the Senate, where he has never been useful. He's not even a Democrat! We hope he'll die soon."

🍩, now: "We're so worried about Bernie's health and cause, we hope he'll quit (1/2)

the race so he -- without the risk a presidential campaign poses to him and, therefore, to his wonderful movement -- can continue his effective work in the Democratic senatorial caucus." (2/2)

12/2012: Dehydrated by a virus, Clinton suffers a concussion as she faints. Her 3rd bloodclot is found.

9/2016: Clinton faints. As for why, her
• staff says she overheated
• M.D. says Clinton had pneumonia
• spouse says she had the flu

🥀: "The focus on Hillary's health

9/2019: Biden's eye bleeds
🥀: "Meh."

10/2019: W/o prior heart disease, Sanders has a mild attack. It is treated w/ 2 stents. He is discharged less than 3 days later.

🍩: "Bernard should go away b/c he is a rich, ignorant, dumb, old, white, straight, able, male non-Dem who failed upwards, coasted on privilege, was helped by the NRA, and has not been an ally of women, PoC or the LGBT community."
