REPORT: Sanders campaign’s hashtag backfires as grudge-bearing Dems lash out over 2016
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by FOXNEWS.COM:
A social media campaign aimed at promoting support for presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has attracted an awkward mix of die-hard Bernie backers and Democrats still angry over his 2016 run.
The campaign-backed hashtag #MyBernieStory was meant to be a forum for voters to share their personal stories of why they support Sanders. While plenty of supporters have done exactly that, the hashtag has also been hijacked by critics who blame Sanders for Hillary Clinton’s loss to President Trump.
The article goes on to state the following:
One vented with her “berniestory” of watching Barack Obama “hand the keys to the Oval to a racist” because “Bernie didn’t know when to sit his a– down in the primary.”
Another pointedly faulted Sanders for not doing enough to boost Clinton.
TODAY @BernieSanders is officially launching #MyBernieStory!
Post your story about why you’ve involved in the movement to the hashtag and record a video on the BERN app to help recruit more supporters. pic.twitter.com/Vdx4j2CBhc

Okay, since this is trending, here’s #MyBernieStory.
The year was 2016 and Bernie was already long eliminated from contention.
An actual Democrat would have stopped torpedoing the nominee and worked to defeat Trump but Bernie had books to sell.
The end.

Also Bernie did terrible with women voters in 2016, so before 🌹 Twitter starts complaining in my mentions, just stop for a second. Look at what women are saying, and what turned us off. This is constructive criticism of women feeling silenced and harassed. Work on it. Do better.

Bernie Sanders did nothing in 2016 to reign in his sexist supporters.
I was called ‘whore’ on multiple occasions and a supporter said I should be raped for supporting Hillary.
To think this couldn’t happen let me remind you of the “Bern the Witch” rally

Bernie lives and breathes solidarity. When someone hurts, he hurts. He’s confronted bigotry, racism, and xenophobia his entire life.
And this is why I am supporting @BernieSanders for President. This is #MyBernieStory. pic.twitter.com/jk41RHX55U

I’m 19 years old & I’m voting for @BernieSanders in my first presidential election.
I’m a student activist who wants to be an immigration lawyer & have family on Puerto Rico who’ve seen injustice.
His platform fights for the youth & the marginalized the most. #MyBernieStory pic.twitter.com/1VFnC1ECpr

Well, @BernieSanders motivated me to become a #newUScitizen so I could vote for him (after living here as a legal permanent resident since high school, but never before being inspired by ANY pres. candidate). Here I am being sworn in, then voting in FL primary! #myberniestory pic.twitter.com/i2ADDts1VH
