So they thought that those mean, evil leftists bullied Kamala out of the race and called her a cop to cover up their sexism and bigotry (I understand, "Kamala Harris was a cop" is totally just a dog whistle). So the big minds in the KHive sphere thought the best way to hit back was to try to do the same to Bernie, so they called him a cop for voting yes on the '94 crime bill, and tried to bring up negative consequences of that bill and lay it at Bernie's feet, like the increase in incarceration.
This happened around the lead up to Super Tuesday and I got to watch a bunch of "Bernie was a cop" posters pull a 180 and start cheering for Joe Biden as their preferred anti-Bernie candidate and dropping the cop thing because of, well, the guy who wrote the bill lol
Jesus christ, the mental gymnastics these guys engage in, holy shit.
If mental gymnastics were a discipline at the olympics, KHivers would probably get all 3 medals.
I realize now that they didn't really use that as a hashtag, but a few big names changed their handle to that or put it in their bios. It's a shame, I wish I had older posts to dig up, and the one poster who I'm thinking of that lead the charge got banned from Twitter lol and I can't see their tweets
