Allies of President Biden are stepping up calls for Democrats to rally around the president following negative commentary and splits from inside the party over whether he should forgo reelection. F…
It’s all over the 'net for at least a decade and a half. And these types are well known for checking out when their special candidate was not selected (see: some of the “bernie bros”) for the general, and then actively work against the party, or tell everyone to vote for Jill Stein or some other destructive type of behavior…
Note, this is a sombunall kind of thing - not all people that wanted bernie then later work against the party. Just like the PUMAs did not do this. Some people might call me a bernie bro or a purity pony as I’d much rather the party was more progressive, but that would be an incorrect usage.

First I heard it was you using it in as many comments as possible in this thread.

As a matter of fact, the latter worked against the party in greater proportion than the former. And Sanders’ supporters didn’t form a PAC to fundraise for the Republican candidate. Clinton’s supporters did exactly that in 2008. And then turned around and screamed at everyone to vote blue no matter who.
Well, I don’t think the worst behaviors of PUMAs was the least bit helpful, either. Any more than the dumbest of the Bernie Bros (even though I’d much rather have Bernie in there than either Obama, Clinton, or Biden)…trying to put a stick in the spokes of the party because the front runner was not your personal choice is just so unhelpful.
Yeah, but he’s old, and he’s not the purity pony that I wanted!!!
So…both sides are just as bad! Let it burn!

You’re really trying to make this a thing, aren’t you?
No, it’s already “a thing”.
Cool. Who else is using such a stupid childish moniker for voters that Democrats need but would rather insult?

And I think “Party Unity My Ass” followed by “vote blue no matter who” is the absolute height of hypocrisy.
