I know for a fact that Felix and Matt never posted here, it's just that those Twitter circles are full of goons so between lurking and Doc Evil and degg propelling Barnacle Jim and degg's hole respectively into the public consciousness they picked up a lot.

Also the Berniebros weren't real

It's fun how a whole website basically transplanted itself onto another website.

Pretty much, you can find trolls of any stripe but there was never an amount of those for Bernie that was worth writing piles of articles about, and it was used to gloss over a lot of left-wing criticism and ignored POC supporting him. It was especially surreal when you had people like Peter Daou, who bragged about their time in a fascist militia or white dudes telling muslim women to stop being Bros.
Mostly it was that mspaint comic of people yelling at hitler. I guess reddit got weird about it but who cares. Maybe Chapo counts to other people, I dunno.

There were dipshit Bernie people just like there are dipshit everybody people, opinion columnists just latched onto them as a corruptor of the innocent discourse about how much oil and bone marrow to invoice the Libyan people for their own ruination because they were personally affected and live in a pale blue fog of middlebrow self-regard so everything that is a personal affront to them must be a personal affront to everybody else, which is how you get events like Arthur Chu saying that on a website with pedophiles, ISIS accounts, and Kevin Smith, Felix and co. are the "worst Twitter".

People like Jonathan Chait and Joan Walsh got emotionally scarred by people sending them pigpoopballs on twitter and thus the berniebro was born.

I can't listen to this since Patreon doesn't allow me to fund them due to my paypal account, but I'd expect Matt to be more baffled at twitch streams than Will, since the latter just posts capybara vines and fancy japanese stuff a good part of the time.

And to be honest, a general stuff ChapoCrew stream would be interesting. It would give them a low effort way of doing impromptu podcasts and there's quite a contingent of streamers that folk watch more as a radio show that happens to have game footage than to witness the streamers' game skills.

The main guests are always real. Sometimes they have people call in for a minute or two who are clearly fake characters invented for the show (David Milkberg, or the Billiards Fool).
