 So I think that we all know every single candidate who runs for office is going to have supporters that are enthusiastic sometimes they get a little bit annoying or oftentimes even may be a little bit toxic. Sure, you can find those types of elements in any single political campaign. Like politics, it's important. There's a lot at stake. So people oftentimes invest their emotions into these races, right? So there's the Bernie Bros. There's the k-hive and I think that we all know how Bernie Sanders supporters were perceived by the mainstream media. Let's take a look at this article from Scott Bixby of The Daily Beast who writes about Bernie Bros. And this was published in January. The title of his article says, Bernie Bros. are loud, proud and toxic to Sanders campaign. The Vermont Independent is grappling with a toxic wedge of fandom that threatens to distract from his campaign and turn off potential supporters. And there's a subtitle that says, bro, no. So this writer has taken out a really firm position against this type of toxic behavior, the Bernie Bros, right? The way that they swarm people online who criticize Bernie Sanders, the way that they push back against what they perceive to be biased attacks. And he writes this, Senator Bernie Sanders has called their behavior disgusting, would be supporters of the Vermont Independent have cited them as the reason they can't endorse him. His campaign has even privately apologized to rivals for online pylons that cross the line into open harassment. And still, the Bernie Bro army marches on. So this digital army, if you will, the Bernie Bros, according to him, you know, they're toxic. They're bad for politics. They're bad for Bernie Sanders and he doesn't like them. But I am sure you are going to be just so shocked to learn that he feels a little bit differently about Kamala Harris' supporters, widely known as the Cahive. Because in an article he just wrote with an animated image of Kamala, where she looks like a literal deity. He writes Kamala Harris built a digital army. Now she gets to use it while she's on the national stage. And while people continue to attack her, we're going to respond, said Eric Bezal Emile, a student at Georgetown and member of the Cahive. And the subtitle this time says no choice but to stand. So do you understand here? Bernie Bros bad Cahive good. He has no choice but to stand the Cahive. This is published. These two articles published less than a year apart. No shame. No recollection of his argument against a different army. Isn't that interesting to you? Now the Cahive, they have done horrible things. They have even gone so far as to dox people, literally, because as this person points out, Cahive literally doxed me called child protective services on me, literally just to try to get my son taken away because I called her a cop. Well, still, we have no choice but to stand. Cahive for life. Now look, putting aside like that type of behavior, because I never condone doxing, I unequivocally condemn that. I don't care who does it. Cahive, Bernie Bros, that's bad, right? But this is rare. I'll admit, low key, I kind of support the Cahive because of how ruthless they are. I mean, let's face it, they know fuck all about policy. Like this is a cult of personality, mostly they don't, they don't know what policies they want. But regardless, like I think that, you know, the fact that they're so ruthless and calling out what they perceive to be biased attacks against Kamala Harris, I don't blame them for it because as a Bernie bro, I respect the hustle. You know, I acknowledge that this is going to be a thing that we see going forward in politics because the internet exists. When a journalist publishes what is obviously a hit piece, they're going to get that instant pushback, right? Same thing would happen to me if I publish a video that, you know, people didn't like. I'd see the comments where they tell me to go fuck myself. But, you know, it must be the tactics that caused Scott Bixby to differentiate between the Bernie Bros and the Cahive. So here's how he describes the behavior of the Cahive. Despite Harris dropping out of the race in December 2019, before a single vote was cast in a presidential nominating contest, her Cahive has continued a pace boosting her as a potential running mate, warring with supporters of other candidates who eventually outlasted her and most recently launching a full-throated defense of the California Senator in the face of perceived hostility from Biden's own circle. So I wonder how he'd feel if Bernie Sanders supporters do the same thing and they confront someone who they believe to be lobbing, you know, a bad faith attack against Bernie Sanders. Here's what he writes about the Bernie Bros. When Senator Elizabeth Warren accused Sanders of telling her in a private meeting that he didn't believe that a woman could defeat President Donald Trump in 2020, the Massachusetts Senator's Twitter feed was deluged with a plague of snake emojis, even as Sanders called for a de-escalation in hostilities. So the snake emojis according to Scott Bixby, that goes in the article where he describes Bernie Sanders supporters as being toxic. But this activity from the Cahive is not toxic according to Scott Bixby. When a top bundler for Biden told the Daily Beast that Harris is hitting Biden on school busing in an early debate was treacherous, members of the Cahive blasted the remarks as Sarah Grape's. When Chris Dodd, the former U.S. Senator and co-chair of Biden's Vice Presidential Voting Committee, was reported in Politico to have criticized Harris's lack of remorse for the attack, the Cahive sprang into action, decrying Dodd's remarks as both sexist and racist. So the Cahive going after public figures, that's okay. Scott Bixby approves of that. But Bernie Bros going after public figures, that's bad. So let's look at how he characterizes another attack by the Bernie Bros on a different victim, John Legend. Last week, performer John Legend cited Bernie Bros, who though branded with the pejorative, Bernie Bros are in no way limited to just his male fans, as doing quite a disservice to Sanders as a reason that he was backing Warren's candidacy. Try not to drive people away with your nastiness, legend tweeted. I will happily vote for him if he wins the primary. Chill. In response, some users replied with the poop face emoji. So snake emojis and poop face emojis, that's evidence that Bernie Bros are being toxic according to Scott Bixby, but when Cahive defends the candidate that they support after they see what they perceive to be an attack, well that's just them being excited about her candidacy. Quote that excitement and the perceived threat to the broader gains made by her historic run is part of the reason that the Cahive has remained a digital force in Harris's favor long after she left the field. So if you're not seeing the double standard here then um there's something wrong with you. Very clearly anything that the Cahive does is because you know they're excited about her, but anything that the Bernie Bros did, that's bad. In fact CNN ran a segment where they detailed all of the victims of Bernie Bros or at least kind of gave a general overview of some of the harassment that they've been seeing and uh what was their evidence? Snake emojis, rat emojis to Pete Buttigieg. So the emojis, that's toxic, that's harassment, but Cahive, they can do no wrong because we have no choice but to stand Queen Kamala. Scott Bixby is an absolute hack who should be embarrassed of himself to not see his hypocrisy here. Wow. Now before you tell me to stop crying over spilled milk and to get over the fact that Bernie lost, understand that the reason why this is important is because let this be a lesson to future left-leaning politicians. You are never going to win over the establishment. Bernie should not have said well you know what I condemn my supporters. He should have tried to push back against those claims because there were other candidates in this race that were doing the same thing and I have showed repeatedly on this program a study from 2016 that showed that among all of the top chair candidate supporters, Bernie's were one of the least hostile whereas Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's supporters were more aggressive online. So this entire Bernie Bros narrative was manufactured. It was a media narrative that was created to smear Bernie Sanders and make it seem as if he was this unique candidate that attracted all of these sexist possibly racist bros who were going to attack anyone especially women of course who criticized Bernie Sanders. It's disgusting and it shows you that the media is never going to be on your side because if you are a true leftist then you threaten power structures and that includes the media as well. The entire corporate establishment and the media is grouped in with that because who do you think pays for advertisements on corporate media? Large multi-billion dollar companies, the same ones that donate to politicians. So of course they're going to be against you so what we have to do is find a candidate next time that doesn't just believe these smears. Isn't you know trying to appease the media and say okay I concede my Bernie Bros are horrible. You can't do that you have to acknowledge you will never win them over and as a movement we have to acknowledge respectability politics is not going to serve us at all because no matter what we do no matter how polite we are they're always going to cherry pick examples of fringe individuals that make all of us look bad and that's how they're going to represent us. So all we can do is keep up what we're doing relentlessly advocate for policies and defend politicians that are on our side politically like there's nothing else you can do because this is I think a perfect example that demonstrates the media's bias against Bernie Bros not because they're sexist and you know uniquely hostile but because they support policies that threaten the entire political establishment that's what this is about and Scott Bixby regardless if he acknowledges that or not should be really really embarrassed right about now.
