"Sanders supporters have weaponized Facebook to spread angry memes about his Democratic rivals"

[kane_magus]

If Bernie Sanders cannot stop Bernie Sanders supporters from being awful, then why should I believe that Bernie Sanders would be a good leader as President? If he can't even keep the people that like him from being douchenozzles, how can he be expected of having a chance in hell of dealing with people that don't like him? That's one of the reasons I don't like the idea of Sanders as the nominee or as President. He doesn't seem to care about the reputation his supporters have, which reflects badly on him.

I'd say it's similar to Trump, except that Trump actively encourages his supporters to be awful, disgusting people, because Trump himself is an awful, disgusting person. I have to assume the Sanders does not want his supporters to be awful, disgusting people. If it turns out that he doesn't care or is, like Trump, actually encouraging people to be terrible, then that's all the more reason he probably shouldn't be the Democratic nominee.

Also, it's yet another reason among countless reasons why Facebook continues to be shit.

(Same disclaimer as always: I will vote for Sanders over Trump, if he is the nominee, but he, like Biden, is not my first choice.)
