No "Bernie Bros" say that it's a completely made up phenomenon from moronic Hillary supporters.

I come from the politics board. The people who scream the loudest every time there was a news article about Hillary Clinton over something stupid like an aide going "yeah she might wanna run again", they were the loudest ones screaming fuck no and also the ones who constantly bring up how she "stole" the primary from Sanders.

Putting 2 and 2 together isn't hard. Not everyone who likes/idolizes Sanders is a Bernie Bro. I get that people use that term loosely, however I use it for a very specific behavioral pattern that in this case arises every single time Clinton is mentioned and they start cursing her return, even when it's not even her saying she's seeking another run or a return to politics, just that she hasn't ruled it out.

And people would have to talk them down from the ledge.

Trumpers are obsessed with her in a different way in that they want her to return because they know it will fuck with Dems and help Trump. Also because of all the conspiracies created around her.

As for them "not existing", I literally watched a guy more progressive than me back in 2015, who idolized Sanders as I did, start going on about the "if you or I did what she did we'd be in jail right now", ultimately leading to him voting for Trump, spreading the Killer Klinton conspiracies, and becoming one of the most insufferable sacks of shit imaginable when it comes to politics.

Am I saying enough of these people exist to have cost her the election? I dunno, I doubt it, but don't tell me they don't exist because I literally witnessed the transformation for the worst case scenario. And it was especially sad because he was my favorite coworker there and we hung out outside of work, as well as being politically attuned.

Keep in mind Hillary had like 3 decades worth of right-wing propaganda built up against her. For a lot of people they just needed the thinnest of excuses to validate that bullshit.
