2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: There is no excuse for what the protesters did to Bernie. [View all]Hydra
(14,459 posts)23. There may never be actionable evidence for it
But every one of the usual suspects here were on the issue almost the same moment the Netroots incident happened, all singing on key with the exact same talking points and sounding perfectly prepared. I gave the group the chance to do the right thing and use the momentum they suddenly had, and they squandered it to help HRC, who is most assuredly NOT their friend.
In the process, they also hurt my advocacy for equal rights and economic rights, but at least it was short lived, and they have actually catapulted the movement back into place by their actions.

No, there is not. And they do not represent anyone but themselves. It totally backfired
