Boxer was called a B***h. No violence there. Just your everyday verbal abuse toward women. Ya, we are use to that.
Lange, her phone number was posted on twitter. She was called vile names. I am talking extremely vile names. She received death threats. She should be shot in the face. She should be hung upside down until dead. Her grandchild was threatened. No, no violence there.
The focus is on a chair that was picked up in anger then put down. No focus on the women abused. Typical, just like a bad marriage. Brush it off. Ignore the violence. You did not see it . Never happened. You can close your eyes and pretend. Yet it happened. It happens every damn day.
Violence against women is NEVER ACCEPTABLE! Never.
Ask a woman in your life if it ever happened to them. They most likely will not answer. The sounds of silence. The silence speaks volumes.

I don't see how it was thought there was more votes for the Sanders supporters since many did not show up at the start, did they think they grew in numbers, no, just wanted to rule the convention with a minority, Sanders oligarchy.

(91,042 posts)She is a tiny elderly woman who is also a hero of the Latino/a civil rights movement, yet bullshit bullies felt fully justified in screaming epithets at her as well.
This isn't about "passion", it's about common decency, which they seem to lack.
And yes, verbally abusing, threatening, and shoving around women is by now certainly a feature of the Sanders cult.

(1,630 posts)Self examination would require them to take responsibility for their actions. Unfortunately, they are taking their cues from Bernie's on-going pattern of blaming everyone and everything for his own failiure.
Look at how many of the standard abuser excuses are being repeated in this situation:
