All the exit polling I saw said otherwise, Bernie won all groups(but especially poc and queer people) below 55, while biden swooped up the Olds both black and white, and Warren was left scraping by on a fraction of the college cracker professional set.

Yes, because the "BernieBro" thing was mostly an online thing. In other words, that was just very online Hillary/Biden/Warren people crying because young people cared more about another candidate. But it was made into this huge issue by the mainstream media, I am betting that it received more TV time in 2016 and 2020 than the Iraq war and climate change combined.
Is the Bernie Bro in the room with you right now, Hillary?
Just a made up demographic to discredit as a proxy for discrediting all Bernie supporters.
Black people ain't having no Bernie
Thanks for bringing the mental image of this photo back to my memory.
this fucking potemkin barbershop kills me
Just everything is so odd:
Jerseys hung up on wall via plastic hangers
Could they not afford a cheap poster frame?
Spiderman and Pan movie posters
Not my first choice, but sure
DVD cases hung on the wall
What the actual fuck. Let's see what's here: capeshit, sure; random action slop (Meg, Hobbs & Shaw, Equalizer 2), uhhh alright; PETER RABBIT, wot.
MLM poster on the wall (It Works)
Busted old couches
One guy who's getting a haircut just randomly near the exit
I was gonna say, every barbershop I've been in has had the barber chairs lined up, facing a wall with a mirror on it. Not in the middle of the room, on a rug, surrounded by sofas.
I love when people do blackface on social media. It's so cool and not at all weird to roleplay as a minority to try and own other white people.
Didn’t Warren get like third place in her home state?
Yes. And it was at that point only a three person race
yep, AOC is just a warren-ite college cracker professional set-type so she doesn't see this pattern
She just "feels" like everyone else should agree with white college cracker professional set.
Her 6month bartending gig is stilen valor
Working a bit during college doesn't making someone working class either, nor does being "poor" during college and eating ramen make one poor. These are basically just mini-poverty tourisms and a hazing period for the middle class, not legitimate class differences. The precarity doesn’t exist, they have safety nets to fall back on (drop out and live with their parents at their huge house).
Yeah in the middle of the 2020 primary there was definitely discussion of Warren getting polite Bernie hand-me-downs. I can't blame anyone for "feeling" like that during the midst of 2020 - there was a concentrated media effort to make that case and propaganda/advertising actually do work. It turns out, real people didn't actually behave that way though. If aoc is still concerned about that now or anytime after Warren washed out then she's a dumb ass but who cares if an electoral politician was aware of and in some way responded to electoral political punditry in 2020
I feel like Warren is scooping up LGBT, progressives, women, and progressives of color because of how they isolate.
Did it feel that way??? Cause it definitely was not that way in reality
Got her ass
Hey remember when Obama told trans people to shut up so dems could get more right-wing votes?
Naw naw naw naw! Not in my house! I don't want to hear about it!
Stop being disrespectful!
7 years later.....with his VP now president Record number of anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced this year
I used to support universal healthcare but then someone was mean to me online
We now have no choice but to be racist
Didn't she literally do a show with Hasan?
Like, is there anyone that is more of a Bernie Bro than Hasan was? If I was going to describe a Bernie Bro to anyone back when that election was happening I would have pointed at that himbo.
She was just being a very good politician.
It was good exposure for her brand and she was quick to capitalize on that younger generation audience.
maybe this is a power play to eliminate Bernie as the face of the social democratic movement in the US and become its leader in a machiavellian way
lol, but its probably just her calling for "civility"
I think she's realised that she won't go into the next election season as a progressive hero, but as a sell out, so she's trying to get out in front of it.
AHHHHHHH THE WHOLE THING WAS A SMEAR, BERNIE SUPPORTERS WERE SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO BE THE LEAST RUDE OF ANY OF THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES' PRIMARY VOTERS
DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB
So she believed the media hype about Warren during the primaries. AOC's peak popularity was during the Trump years when being a snarky Twitter reply guy got you attention. Early interviews after her win revealed how big of a lib she was with how she defended Obama and allowed herself to be restrained just by having a fellow Puerto Rican congresswoman talk to her.
She was kind of promising early on with the Green New Deal and fiery speeches, but Pelosi putting the muzzle on and the January 6 insurrection was all it took for her to shut up and sit down. Now she gets ratio'd by Elon on Twitter and continues to have terrible foreign policy takes.
She's the type of American liberal poc that is all race issues at the most shallow level and will talk a big game about economics while continuing to play the neoliberal game behind the scene.
Some Bernie Bros made fun of me for voting to fund the Iron Dome so now I no longer believe in social democracy.
She bartended for 6 month for the photo op.
That's what real stolen valor looks like
Remembering when a bunch of right-wingers ended up boosting that propaganda because they thought "she's just a bartender!" was some kind of own
The whole respectability politics thing makes me actively want what's worst for the US and Americans at large sometimes. What, everyone else get to be boorish shitheads and i can't even fling a turd or two back at them?
through their "behavior, not so much policy."
ah, you see, the vibes analysis results portray you as a soyjack
AOC is Nancy Pelosi, I've been saying it for years. a lauded """progressive""" in her youth, only to become ultimately entrenched in the demonic system, make a lot of money in it, and defend it.
50-60+ year old AOC is going to be so fucking cursed
step 1. she's going to leave her loser normal husband and marry some Blackrock hedge fund ghoul
Lmao, fraternal order of the Bernard brethren strike again, this time striking fear into the hearts of sellout AOC (an even bigger sellout than cowardly Bernie)
Good news! We're not his supporters anymore!
social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
It's either the dirtbag left who donated time, money, sweat, and sanity to get you elected, or the Jan 6 fascist chuds. Which would you rather have breathing down your neck?
I feel like Warren is scooping up LGBT, progressives, women, and progressives of color because of how they isolate
This brought back memories of that viral photo when the hotel cleaning ladies in Las Vegas came out to caucus for Bernie.
Moments like this will never happen again in America’s electoral history. The working class has been betrayed. Bernie Sanders has betrayed all of them.
"That bastard! We can never forgive him for briefly getting people believing that American politics could be more than just a race to the bottom of "the lesser of two evils". And that they could demand that politicians occasionally think about the well being of the people. He cost Hillary the election!"
no more half measures walter
Its Bernard Brothers tyvm
Liberals like AOC/Bernie that larp as more progressive than they really are, are so fucking cowardly. Their supporters are worse because they're convinced they're the only ones who are right about fixing the rotten capitalist system.
