During a phone call with donors Friday, former Vice President Joe Biden made a quaint riff on the name for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) most ardent supporters, referring to the group as the “Bernie brothers.”
Kotch
Bernie Brothers like Briahna Gray, Nina Turner, Ilhan Omar & Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez need to rein in their toxic masculinity if we want to defeat Donald Trump.

Much ado about nothing.
Reminder, that sanders has already lost.
It really does…
… dammit, now I want a bagel. Ah well, off to Bernie Brothers’.
Well this disqualifies him immediately.
I’m voting Tulsi as a protest.
FFS. Why does TPM run stories like this? Or does it not think of itself as a real news organization, as opposed to a blog for snarky twenty-somethings?
The same 2016 when they yelled
speak english to Dolores Huerta?
As a compromise may I offer the term
Sander Siblings
You may have it for free.
I still prefer the Broletariat
“bro” is a mentality just like “boomer”. If those people have no problem calling everyone they disagree with “boomer” regardless of their age, they shouldn’t be mad at being called “bro” regardless of their gender.
I find it endearing. Anyone predisposed to liking Biden will too.
Bonus: I don’t think he’s obsessing over Twitter.
This article was a waste of space, but what I’m going to take from it is that Biden’s team is well aware of the problem and are focusing on it. Sounds like their strategy is to stay on message, and not take on the “Bernie Bro’s” head on. Rather, let them get it out of their system, hoping they’ll eventually realize, despite their disappointment, beating Trump is everything.
Speaking of news worthy of commentary:
On the republican ballot.
Did TPM ran a story that Trump said Nepal and Bhutan is part of India and calls them Nipple and Button? That is a gaffe worth writing about!
Bernie Bros and Joe’s Ho’s…
And y’all know the old saying about Bros before Ho’s…
It is saturday.
And early enough in the day that people are still spiking their coffee with an extra dash of rum or Bailey’s to recover from Friday.
That’s Twitter in a nutshell.
People on Twitter, with their need to sound witty, take nonsense and blow it up. And in today’s age if it’s blown up on Twitter it automatically becomes news.
This is also true if other social media.
It’s amazing how social media, within the span of a decade, has become the biggest blight on the face of this earth (when you consider the political impacts, it’s fairly straightforward to justify this claim).
At least he didn’t call them Band of Bernie Brothers -fighting the good fight on the battlefield that is Twitter.
