    I didn’t remember that it was about hating women. My experience of it was a certain group of Berie supporters who were super enthusiastic but also pretty toxic about their support for Bernie. I ran into it myself - it was impossible to talk to some of them without getting insulted for honest questions or concerns. And that was with them knowing that I’m pretty far left in my viewpoints. So it often just left a very bad taste in my mouth, which didn’t dissuade me from still supporting Bernie (still love him) but I could see how that would polarize a voting base in a moment when you want to unite it.

        Leftists are as easily manipulated as MAGA but in different ways, y’all just haven’t figured it out yet.

        Nobody is immune to propaganda. Something we must all remind ourselves.

      That was the origin. Hilary smeared anyone who didn’t support her as misogynistic. She did it with “Obama boys” during her primary with Obama. Replayed the same tactic in 2016. With similar success.

      Naw. There was absolutely without a doubt a non-trivial portion of “the left” that absolutely shit on men because they “couldn’t vote for a woman”.
