Unfortunately a lot of them are genuine Sanders followers. I know some of them personally. I doubt it's a majority of his backers, but a constantly vocal minority can do a lot of harm.
I know there are Republican (and probably Russian) trolls gleefully mixing in, but their trolling only works because they're functionally indistinguishable from real ones.

To me the most depressing part of this political season is how quickly and easily Sanders' followers descend into the same conspiracy-mongering as Trump's. It's like Fox News for the left: Everybody else is lying! Only we are pure!

There was originally a grain of truth to some anti-Jewish tropes, but not because of any conspiracy of evil Jews.
For centuries European Jews were forbidden to own land or work in most professions. Thus the only careers open to those Jews with any talent were moneylending and medicine (and of course medieval medicine often didn't work). So stereotypes of "Jewish bankers" and "Jewish poisoners" were forcibly created by Christians, who then blamed Jews for them.

So the two types of your comments people most dislike are:
1) Loony, and
2) Stupid.

I'm sure such phrasing is the only reason your propositions keep failing.

Nah, they don't all think they're skinny. They're just hypocrites too. "I should be loved for the fascist asswipe that I am, but all women must be supermodel skinny."

Also there was this thing called "child marriage." Not much chance to have a baby out of wedlock when you're fobbed off on a 30-year-old at puberty.

Nazi shits: "There's no proof of the Holocaust."

Here are hundreds of eyewitnesses.

Also Nazi shits: "Survivors prove it didn't happen."

Also it's easier to come.out as atheist if you've got higher social standing. But now the stigma of atheism is fading, so it's easier to go public. I know several women and minority atheists who's love a chance to laugh at you, Brian.
You know what else is a bastion of white male privilege?
Fundamentalist Christianity.
But as white male fundies shrink, no one's stepping up to replace them. Your ilk will vanish long before ours, asshole.

Timjer: "It’s not as black & white as the US political system is ..."

Also Timjer: "I’m also not saying the US politics is 'very black & white", either."

And a nice tu quoque.

The gentlest thing I can say is that I think you overestimate your objectivity on this subject.

@Timjer #24613

You could start by not downplaying it as insignificant and offering up a bunch of excuses.

Even if a party disavows Nazis in public, if Nazis *still support them* - look at them and say "Hey, these are our guys" - then guess what?

Maybe the U.S.'s one-dimensional politics makes it clerer: Trump can claim he doesn't like Nazis, but so long as he serves their goals and Nazis themselves are on his side, functionally there is NO DIFFERENCE.
