Where did this "bernie bro" stereotype come from?

Well, priorities take precedence. Avert nuclear war with NK or to advance Eboue's goals? tough choice here. The tipping point may just be Berbatrick's insanely biased interpretation of Warren's tweets to give us the real picture. I still haven't forgotten his 'Trump may be a better option than Clinton because of his stance on Iraq war' bollocks yet, the little shit.
That's just a running joke between Eboue and myself
Stick a fork in, he’s done.
Also, O’Rourke
Buttigieg dropping is hilarious
Rourke may as well pull out now. Thought Buttigieg did well but meh..
I hope beto stays in and just gets humiliated in a drawn out way.
He may deliver texas so that Pres Bernie can push his agenda through.
If he couldnt beat the puddle of slime that is Lyin’ Ted, he’s not beating Cornyn.
Nothing about that tweet is “militaristic”. It’s just a perfectly normal and sensible tweet for a politician. Of course resentment may arise because she hasn’t praised Kim’s photo op, but she knows as we all (sorry, most) do that Trump doesn’t do anything that benefits America. Everything he does is to benefit himself.
Berbatrick is well known for hating anyone who doesnt praise North Korea.
What’s TG got going for her...apart from the obvious?
He's better at being the guy both he and Beto are trying so hard to be. But after the embarrassing "yo hablo espanol" shit the night before, the fact that Lester Holt started speaking Spanish to him straight of the bat and Buttigieg was like hola muchacho yo tambien makes me think they're all wankers honestly
I may not agree with everything Tulsi stands for, But I like her honesty and the fact she is not afraid to go against the corrupt DNC.
You don’t think she’s corrupt then?
Oh cmon, some of the most vocal here like her because she supported Bernie Sanders last time.
Agree with you there
Things I like: Non-interventionist foreign policy, endorsed Bernie in 2016, she once tweeted Trump saying "being Saudi Arabia's bitch is not 'America First'" which was fun. Has spoken out against the genocide in Yemen. Supports making community college tuition free while making all four-year colleges tuition free for students with an annual family income of $125,000 or less. $15 minimum wage. Her bad past record on LGBT/abortion seems to have really changed-she grew up in a very conservative family and she said that influenced her views when younger. OFF Act is a decent piece of legislation (seeks to ban fracking).
Corporate Dems seem to despise her too, which is good.
And, here are reasons while some people on the left don't like her:

Who is that then? I dont like her and I think only a couple do.
Sure, I'm talking about that couple
Yeas, but I’m going off the many tales of her being backed by Russia and their bots, along with Bernie.
I do not.
good summation.
That should give you a clue that the corporatist are pushing this BS.
I don't think she's a Russian bot. I don't think anybody is a Russian bot. She's an ambitious person. To be frank, who isn't? I think it's a bit idiotic that Kamala Harris is pilloried because of what she did as AG in the past while Tulsi's past failures (including her LGBT record) is washed away because 'people can change'.
Didn’t say she was a bot.
Wasn’t there something in the Mueller report about the Russians supporting Bernie?
The Democratic party will do anything to keep Bernie out because they know the man is genuine.
I have a gut feel that Warren is this cycle's stealth candidate. She splits the Progressive vote.
On certain issues like the filibuster, she is further left than Bernie. I find that a little implausible.
The Democratic party has once again not realistically addressed the needs and concerns of Americans.
Biden's final statement of "must defeat Trump" is hollow.
The real reason for the rise of Trump has not been addressed and it will not be so long as Corporate candidates are pushed.
Trump plays to people's fears, which they feel rightly or wrongly.
The visuals of poor people trying to save their lives coming to the southern border is played up so often just because they are not white.
Their horrible treatment is made 'acceptable'.
We have seen these things in history before.
The obvious way to defuse all this is for the Democratic party to sponsor candidates who are for solving the real issues that concern Americans.
Health Care via Medicare For All or Single payer.
Education via free college tuition and debt forgiveness.
A living Wage.
Expansion of Social Security so people do not retire into poverty.
Fair Taxation. Including taxing all off shore money for those hiding them.
But the Democratic party will not do these things because it goes against their agenda obviously as they are owned by corporations.

Whatever the Russians did or did not do was not welcomed by Bernie.
He is simply focused on doing what Democratic candidates have not done since JFK.
That is what he said in the end pointing to the other candidates standing with him.

A bit of history on that front:

I’ll have a delve into Gabbard and see what I can find. I’m not impressed up to now.
Cant wait to hear the results of this investigation
Bernie is also said to be backed by Russia and their bots.
"Russian bots" are going to becomes the Democrats' equivalent of George Soros or something. Used to cast aspersions of everyone we don't like. Which is the entire point of that whole thing if you ask me, it's as much to make America eat itself with suspicion as it is to get anyone in the door (perhaps that was a separate goal).
That is why instead of getting paranoid we need to look at policies being promoted by candidates.
Jesus Christ that second one. “What about all those days I didn’t feck a goat, huh? No one talks about that. Everyone just calls me ‘goatfecker.’”
But people can change
A concern I have with Kamala is that very recently she was celebrating using “political capital” she had earned to incarcerate parents of truant children. (This is just one example). For starters it’s not a good sign that she would use wiggle room she’s “earned” to move right and not left. But she’s also, or was at the time of the video in question, treating it as a positive still. So on that one issue at least she hasn’t changed. You need to know someone as changed on an issue/policy before we say “hey people change!” Because they also don’t.
And a lot of this past stuff she doesn’t address as head on in my opinion to the same degree Tulsi addresses the LGBT stuff in her past (and there is stuff that Tulsi has not properly addressed either, I’m just using the example you gave, her torture stance is baaaad)
The lengths they are going to to discredit Bernie shows how scared they are. I honestly believe there is too much money involved for them to let him win. The attack dogs will be out in full force after the next round of debates. The hate for Bernie on Twitter is frightening, he's despised by so many so called Democrats who openly say they won't vote for him or would even vote for Trump instead. It's batshit scary.
