noun: propaganda; derogatory information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view

“I feel like they need a job. They need to enjoy America’s workforce rather than spending their time in the middle of the day doing nothing,” said one young woman, who asked not to be named. (His supporters are lazy and that's why he's getting all those big crowds, it's lazy people with nothing else to do, they want all these free handouts - ignore all the hardworking people supporting Sanders). So now people on the street are unnamed sources?

When it was pointed out that she herself was spending her time in the middle of the day doing nothing, she clarified that she works “six days a week”. (People who work hard support other candidates. I wonder if she supported the candidate that can take in more than quarter of a million for a speech).

Pelgrift, 44, is an Italian citizen and not actually eligible to vote in the US. (An illegal immigrant??)

don't take off your button, even in the shower - Think how embarrassed you would be if people were looking at you in the shower and you didn’t have your Bernie button.” (You don't want to be embarrassed when people look at you for *gasp" being a Bernie supporter, do you? Plus, I can talk stupidly to Bernie supporters, b/c well, they are stupid.. believing that our government should work for the people)

The shtick certainly seemed to be working, with buttons being handed out like candy ( like handing out candy to a baby - easy to dupe and looking for a handout)

perform “some semi-funny shtick” to convince people to hand over their money. (must be how Bernie is getting people to hand over money, his shtick)

A “Bernie 2016”-branded Tesla Model S (Still can't figure out how a guy that closed his business and went back to school can afford to do this but hey it supports the only "rich white liberals" supports Bernie false argument).

The man himself did not disappoint his followers, (not supporters but followers like cult followers).

“Plus,” the balding Weiss said, “I like his hair.” (Don't forget that wild hair. I've always wondered who made up the hair and fringe candidate image. Bernie even had to address the fringe candidate meme.)

I didn't point out everything.

And the propaganda continues.

If you support Bernie, you need to call out this kind of b.s.

Update: If this was the only thing I had read over the past few weeks, I would have just shrugged it off. But I am sick and tired of the continued assault against Bernie Supporters in order to paint them in a negative light. We have been ridiculed and called despicable things which I will not repeat. While there's more than one motive for this, trying to paint Bernie supporters as an undesirable group to belong to is definitely one of them.

The problem with this strategy, people can reach the point where not only will they say no to voting for your candidate, but h*** will freeze over before I vote for your candidate. And no amount of endorsement from Bernie will change that decision because contrary to your accusations, we are not cult followers. I view a political cult follower as someone that supports a candidate no matter what they do or how morally bankrupt they are. That does not describe Bernie Sanders.
