    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!

      purity pony

      You’re really trying to make this a thing, aren’t you?

          Cool. Who else is using such a stupid childish moniker for voters that Democrats need but would rather insult?

            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.
