Bernie Sanders supporters are a passionate bunch. They believe in the revolutionary message that Bernie is spreading, and will try their best to carry that torch far and wide. Unfortunately, there have reports of a certain sect of Sanders enthusiasts that have attacked Hillary Clinton and her supporters with sexist vitriol. It has supposedly gotten so bad, despite this author’s chilling insistence at reading just about every political comment section he can get his hands on, that it’s supposedly affected Bernie’s campaign. Sanders acknowledged these so-called supporters with a stern and grandfatherly, “we don’t want that crap.” Of course, this mirrors 2008’s “Obama Boys” that supposedly came out in droves against Hillary. It’s a sexist phenomenon, or is it?
It turns out that the backlash has now garnered a backlash to their backlash, or perhaps even creating a backlash within a backlash pitting women upset at other women about supporting Hillary just because she’s a woman. This is commonly referred to as backlashception, and Bernie Bros are taking a slight back seat as the women take control of the political wheel. It’s a confusing and multi-layered argument about sexism, ageism, classism and how far we have progressed as a country since the suffrage movement.
It needs a Daily Show breakdown, wouldn’t you agree?

It all comes down to the fact that most people can’t handle knowing the commander in chief of the greatest military on the planet has had a dick in her mouth at one point or another.
That didn’t stop Nixon.
Or Lincoln.
Or Buchanan.
Has she?
Hmm….Why does this sound familiar? Oh that’s right, it reminds me of the racist tactics some of Hilary’s supporters used against Obama in ’08.
Bernie Sadders is great but his supporters are some of the most annoying, repulsive beings on the planet. And not just when it comes to sexism but to every single aspect
Just the absolute worst supporters in the world, their ignorance is only matched by the furor of their rhetoric, they’re like a goddamn cult.
This may be off topic, but Trevor Noah is just awful. He has no comedic timing. It just sounds like he’s reading the jokes for the first time on air.
Nah, he definitely sucks and the ratings show it.
I think they picked a great replacement. He brings a unique perspective to the show that gives it a much needed change and I think his timing is fine.
Dumbass comments by Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright aren’t helping either.
It’s also ironic that sexist comments about Sarah Palin are hilarious but when it’s abou Hillary, it is repulsive vitriol.

I mean, Bernie is appealing to the Ron Paul supporter, this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.
A self-described socialist is appealing to libertarians? You sure about that?
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2016 democratic candidates!
But seriously, man has the daily show fallen off a cliff lately!
Im all for a female president, if her name was Elizabeth Warren.
And for bonus points, she would be the first Native American president, amirite?
BOOTY!
