A lot of very young people - mostly white men - are watching them and circulating their ideas among Bernie supporter circles, like the SandersForPresident Reddit page. It's concerning because they're incredibly biased but purport to be unbiased and reasonable. They misrepresent themselves. It's further concerning because their rhetoric, claims, and attitudes are part of the incredibly damaging problem of division within the party. Rather than move the party left through hard work, effort, and th convention they would divide it completely by challenging the legitimacy of our legitimately chosen nominee. They have attacked her many times in baseless and faulty ways normally reserved for extremely conservative online news sources, and that they have bought into GOP propaganda and utilized it for their own gain and for Sanders' gain is concerning. Their main guy actually stumps and speaks for Bernie often, and yet claims to be an unbiased source of the truth.
They're not dangerous with the GP, but they are the skid mark on the face of this party with their attitude toward progress and our candidates. Pseudo-intellectual "progressives" that permeate social media and certain circles revere them, but not all of us. Some of us who consider ourselves progressives, real liberals, and proud Democrats deeply resent the attitude they have and the damage they are trying to do to this party.
