Let’s not forget the Bernie Bros became the Gaza bros and they were pretty much all misogynistic. These are primarily due to really don’t wanna ever vote for any woman at all.

There was a contingent of Bernie supporters who were/are rather toxic, but it’s partly a function of his broad appeal across a lot of traditional left right lines. There’s also a group of socialists who are kinda “smart guys” who like to talk a lot and are serial mansplainers. Minority.
I completely disagree. I've yet to meet a Bernie supporter who was misogynistic. That's not who Bernie is and not who his supporters are. I voted for Jill Stein in 2016, but I learned my lesson. Don't denigrate & lump us all together.
Well, every man I’ve met who voted for Bernie also refused to vote for Kamala Harris. I’m just going by who the people I know. I’m not making a general statement.
Hi, hello, I’m a man who voted for Bernie, Hilary, Bernie, then Biden, then Kamala and fervently support a free Palestine. I exist. Many of us exist. Bernie Bros are a straw man. They’re a fraction of a percent.
That ain't misogyny, it's leftism. I'm a leftist and Sanders supporter. I voted Kamala, but damn she's a mess of a candidate. She wasn't gonna save us.
A lot of what's wrong with political discourse is that I criticize the Democratic candidate and the immediate response is "oh so you'd rather have the Republican?"
No. Fucking stop. We can expect better from our own party without it being a veiled pitch for the other.
Yeah, that's why I voted for her. Like I said. But eventually we have to stop putting mediocre convictionless centrists up at candidates and get someone who actually speaks to the entire working class. "Vote for me - Dick Cheney is!" is not how you rally Democrats to the polls.
Thank you for thanking me, but I don't feel this is anything to thank someone for.
That is, wanting a female potus, or voting for (heavily) qualified females, is just being a decent, rational person. There is nothing supererogatory about it. (Or there shouldn't be).

But then happily voted for HRC.
Then I wanted Bernie or Warren in 2020. But then happily voted for Biden.
Then I happily voted for Kamala in 2024.
In fact, the only thing I had against Bernie was that he wasn't female because I have wanted a female potus for DECADES.

Btw, I wanted HRC over Obama.
