How Hillary and Trump fans are marginalized on Harvard Campus by radical Bernie fans

This is really a shame and disgusting that some elements of the left are giving true progressives and the Democratic party such a bad name.

"In April, Sam Koppelman, a 20-year-old government student at Harvard, wrote a letter to the New York Times lamenting that his support for Clinton meant that on campus he “might as well be Pat Buchanan”.

“At Harvard, admitting that #ImWithHer is nearly tantamount to boasting ‘Make America Great Again’,” Koppelman wrote."


What kind of values are being taught to the youth when people are afraid to say/voice who they support on a college campus? Isn't Harvard supposed to be a beacon of higher intelligence and a place of discussion and learning?

“Around the country, low income people, low income minorities are voting for Hillary in vast majorities,” Koppelman said.

“And this attitude on college campuses that ‘if you’re an advocate for social justice issues, you need to be a Bernie supporter’ is really dismissive of those people across the country who are voting for Hillary.

“It’s a ‘we know better attitude’ that is so emblematic of the very things Bernie Sanders is campaigning against.”

This is really sad to read. Imagine if your kids were bullied for their thoughts.

It really makes you shake your head when the pro-Bernie crowd is the first to call people they don't agree with fascists, yet one of the ugliest features of fascism is something they engage in far more frequently than the supporters of any other candidate: the use of violence and intimidation to shut down the opposition. A much more delusional and dangerous fan base than Trump's. If Trump wins the Presidency, Hillary supporters will be pissed and probably talk about how disappointed they are at the water cooler on Monday. Bernie sycophants, on the other hand, will almost certainly commit acts of violence in various cities around the country. It'd be stupid to assume otherwise given their behavior so far.

I agree. And if you watched or caught clips of the Anti Trump riot in Chicago you will notice that basically ALL of the protestors against Trump (and thus free speech and 1st amendment) where Bernie fans!!!

That woman who dressed up as a Trump supporter and did Nazi salutes is actually a Bernie fan.

That riot showed me just how low some people are. I saw nothing but idiots, and far left everywhere from the Anti Israel signs to the Anti Jewish conspiracy crowd, to the BLM FOLKS, TO the anti white people folk, to the radical LGBT supporters to the anti Christian supporters, to the 'anti rich crowd',,".

Isn't it more the case that Progressives are giving the Left a bad name? Not trying to split hairs, but this seems relevant.

Bernie supporters are the young generation, who are driven by emotions and not actual knowledge and life experience. Heck, many of the Ron Paul supporters switched to Sanders even though economically they are polar opposites. It's just a trendy college movement.
