Bernie vs Trump, Who is more Violent? (Social Experiment)

This is a social experiment a guy did. He alternatively held up BERNIE and TRUMP signs in Hollywood, in order to get passersby's reactions.

His evidence shows that the Bernie supporters are, by far, the more aggressive and violent...as well as the more intolerant of the two factions. On several occasions the man, while holding the TRUMP sign, was physically attacked and was consistently verbally abused.

I offer it for what it's worth...but it's worth watching, as it is a fascinating and simple social experiment.

What? If you are "against" Trump, you are automatically pro-Bernie?

What kind of mindset does this thought show - yes, precisely. A very, very closedminded one.

Same goes for the contrapoint. "Pro Sanders" is not automatically "Contra Trump".


That was a stupid example of stupidity.

If I am not mistaken, this was discussed in a previous thread. With the magic of editing being taken in to account, it is tough to really come to any conclusion on this matter.

Also, what is the point? Are we trying to make it appear that Bernie supporters are more violent to take away attention from Trump supporter's actions?

I've seen, time and again, how Bernie fans do the name calling and use overly aggressive tactics, all while saying Trump followers are the violent, gun toting Nazi lovers.
The fact that you don't see Trump fans crashing a Sanders event and causing violence seems to escape their notice. But, when the Bernie fans do it, it's the Trump followers who are at fault. They go in to an event, yelling insults and getting in people's face and then blame the Trump fans when they get their ass kicked or just enthusiastically shown the door.
Don't start none, there won't be none.

ETA : I see the Bernie fans are quickly showing up to discount this. What a surprise. I'm sure if it had shown Trump followers in a bad light, it would be legit.
Gotta love that double standard.

Those Pro-Bernie attacked him, while he was holding the TRUMP sign. The experimenter made a point of asking them who they supported...in one particular case, while he was under physical attack.

No, it isn't. This is a Trump-campain dude, who is fooling us. That I say as some good old conspirasy nerdette.

Nice try, Trump-campainers!

And even if I'm wrong and this guy realy did a social experiement, which I highly doubt, one is not supposed to go to Harlem and shout the n-word and expecting not to get in trouble. Know what I mean?

OP, I hope you're joking here by selling us this youtube-video as being a actual (and honest) social experiement.

WE aren't trying to prove anything.
I am merely presenting another's social experiment.
The author of the video states that he is not voting for any of the candidates...and that he simply wanted to do this as a social experiment.

It's not a social experiment.

It's a bait video.

Don't take the bait.

And I have three boobs!

Well its on youtube, must be true. So if I go out and record only selective people who react to a Support Bernie poster, can I make the same claim? Or is it business as usual that this is complete fact because it supports Trump and goes against Bernie?

Us Bernie supporters keep seeing Trump supporters post in threads where did the Bernie supporters go? Well, this thread is the exact reason we don't even bother half the time.

So holding a Trump sign is equivalent to a racial insult?
Wow. How PC can ya get.
I thought we had political freedom in this country. The freedom to choose who we want, without the bullying from another party. Guess I was wrong.
I'm just waiting for the name calling to start.

This possibly could have been staged, thought of that?

Or NO, bc it goes with your mindset and beliefs so it must be true?

That's a chance one takes with any video.
It is also just as possible that it is exactly what it claims to be.

The guy who got the most violent said he was supporting Benie.

Because you feel "it's stupid"...I shouldn't post it?
That seems very like a very closed-minded attitude.

I'm not a us-american citizen. I'm born and raised in Germany. I'm highly sensitive when it comes down to the usage of language (including body-language) and that's why I can spot a so called "white supremist", like Trump is, from a mile away.

I thought we had political freedom in this country.

Dream on!

The freedom to choose who we want, without the bullying from another party. Guess I was wrong. I'm just waiting for the name calling to start.

So...what I posted you already consider as an insult or even "bullying" somehow? Wow! You seem to be highly sensitive also, companiero.

Yes, I suppose you could equate that video to the one in the OP, in regards to the quality of it's content.

yah, bc its stupid.

I could start a post about how I had an Obama sticker on my car and I got the finger or honked at every single morning on my way to work. Constantly getting cut off, eyes rolled at me...but, its all hearsay.

I could be lying so Im not going to even post anything about it bc...it would be stupid...just like this.

Im very very closed-minded when it comes to stupidity, I want as little of it as possible in my life
