So you're saying it wasn't only abuse from the Clinton supporters, but it was also a result of purity tests. And we keep wondering why the left keeps failing...
Mostly abuse from Clinton supporters, but yes, there were some purity testers to the left.
Back to it. Strongly disagree. Just take a look at this place. It's a giant purity test.
Lemmy is representative of a nonzero percentage of the American electorate.
It's also not a proportionate representation of the American electorate.
This place is left purity tests galore, though not as bad as it initially was. The American electorate in general - including those slinging the accusation of 'Bernie Bro' around - were mostly not left purists.
