Definition of «berniebro»

"BernieBro" is a political pejorative used to describe a specific type of intense, often confrontational male supporter of Bernie Sanders. The term implies that these supporters are young, white, and prone to aggressive or exclusionary behavior toward political opponents, particularly within the Democratic Party. It is frequently used by critics to characterize the movement as being dominated by a toxic online subculture rather than diverse policy interests. While originally a critique from the 2016 election cycle, it persists as a way to label a certain brand of left-wing internet activism.
