**But mostly this** Did you pay any attention to the online smears against Bernie Sanders and his supporters by centrists over the last few years. Did you have no Bernie haters on Facebook? Did you pay any attention?
Not only did I witness that firsthand, I was drowned in a torrent of the exact opposite from the Busters, who then pivoted to Stein, or write in, or some other third party option. I've already mentioned several times how every single Bernie page or group on social media got blitzkreiged.

There is a rabid anti-Bernie faction of online democrats. They were there before the first Bernie Bro logged in. They were there from the day he announced his candidacy in 2016. They created Bernie Bros to smear Bernie Sanders and the leftist faction of the party. Push a little harder and we will abandon the party altogether.
There's rabid anti-everyone groups, anti-Bernie, anti-Biden, anti-Liz, anti-Tulsi, you name it. In the end however, one must look at the numbers. If you want to win, you need the numbers, which means you need the voters...to VOTE.
Rallies are fun. Voting is boring. The youth vote failed Bernie. I didn't fail Bernie, people the age of my kids failed Bernie. It wasn't a secret plot, it was dumb kids who can't be bothered to take a little time to go punch a card, pull a lever or click a button.
Sorry, I would love to know why this is a perennial problem with the youth vote. They cannot be counted on, so it seems. And it didn't start in 2016. Apparently it has always been that way.
