wayofthebern was founded by Trumpists in an attempt to divide and conquer Democrats prior to the 2016 election. Back when masstagger worked on reddit you could see all of the users in that sub being regular posters on thedonald, conservative and the rest of the trumpist subs. It was also very obvious in how they never post anything about the policies Bernie Sanders are for, but only ever post threads that smears other Democrats.
It was never a sub for actual Bernie voters, not even "extreme leftists". It was extreme rightist all the way down.
