US Uncut reports:
Some of the biggest pro-Bernie Sanders groups on Facebook were briefly taken down Monday evening in a targeted attack by Hillary Clinton supporters.
The groups Bernie Sanders Activists, Bernie Believers, BERNIE OR BUST, Bernie Sanders Revolutionaries, Bay Area for Bernie, Bernie Sanders 2016 — Ideas Welcome, Bernie Sanders is my HERO, and Bernie Sanders for President 2016 were all taken down in the attack. The pages in question were reported to be down for about three hours, from 9 p.m. to midnight Monday night.
Collectively, these groups are home to more than a quarter million Bernie Sanders supporters, and some have been in existence for nearly a year, having been launched shortly after the Vermont senator declared his intent to run for president in 2015.
The groups were targeted by online trolls, who posted pornographic images and reported the groups to Facebook admins.

I said that about a month ago, Clinton is going to drive Supporters to Trump over her.
If Trump is elected it will be because of her actions.

That's impossible, you know all of us Bernie supporters are required to vote Democratic in the GE, it's not like we have free will and an enough intelligence to see that we're going to be screwed by her.
It's almost as if they can't comprehend the idea that they're not actually entitled to our votes and that they'll have to actually earn them. I appreciate that Bernie isn't promising to deliver the vote unconditionally. He's sharp enough to realize that whether or not he endorses Hillary that we won't go along with that unless there's something in it for us. Hillary was able to do that in 2008 in large part because Obama was pushing a lot of the same ideas and wound up outdoing her on many things.
It also wound up biting them on the ass in the midterms and then again in 2012 when the enthusiastic voters that swept them into office realized that they'd been screwed and didn't bother to show up and support their own being screwing. That's the modern Democratic party for you, if you're lucky they'll promise to do the right thing, but more and more often they can't even be bothered to promise.
