Nope. I just never engaged with anyone or read any debate here or elsewhere whom I recognized as a Bernie Bro.

Not saying this is a fictitious creature like Bigfoot or something, just that I'm more aware of people complaining about the thing than I'm aware of the thing itself.

I'm just not aware of the evidence, is all.

FWIW, I supported Elizabeth Warren.

To one specific group of workers, yes. This is like comparing one person's charitable contributions to what government does to help the needy. I'm fine with Sanders's strike fund - I may even contribute to it. But Sanders is running a big chunk of the government. His job is to introduce legislation to support unions, and to do all the wheeling and dealing, negotiating and compromising, to see it through to law. He is absolute shite at wheeling, dealing, negotiating, and compromising, because he's a hard-liner. Which is why his 35 years in a safe seat in the Senate produced fuck-all, and why as chair of the Budget Cmte he has done squat.
