Disclaimer: This story refutes personal attacks against Bernie Sanders as a candidate and a person, not his individual policies. I touch on broad ideological concepts, but not the details of each stance. His policies should be debated point by point and combed through as well, but this is not the place.

As a young woman who runs in relatively neoliberal circles, despite it only being early 2019, I have already had to sit through the agony of what I call the “Anyone But Bernie” Bros. These are the hardcore-former-Hillary fans who insist that Bernie Sanders will be the death of the left’s opportunity to defeat our current president when he runs for reelection. It can be frustrating to sit by watching as the same arguments sweep the Twittersphere as “woke” neolibs insist that, for some reason or another, we must choose anyone but Bernie.

The frustration I felt witnessing these hackish points gain prowess among every white woman I know led me to create this: a running list of every argument I have heard so far against Bernie Sanders, paired with refutations. It is an incomplete list, as I am sure other arguments exist, and for that reason I will continue to update this listicle as time goes on and as more nonsense is spewed.

Updates will be made as the election continues and new ill-conceived arguments against Bernie Sanders arise in my Twitter feed (and potentially the comments section of this listicle).
