KUDOS to Ms. Nixon! Bernie supporters REALLY need to take note. These HRC jeers are hurting your campaign.

Cynthia Nixon took a stand during Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) rally in Durham, New Hampshire, on Monday night after the audience booed the mention of 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s name.

“Sex and the City” star Nixon elicited boos from Sanders’ supporters, on the eve of Tuesday’s primary in the Granite State, after acknowledging supporting Clinton in 2016.

“Oh no. Oh no. We are not going to do that here,” Nixon responded to the boos, in stark contrast to how President Donald Trump often encourages his supporters to join him in disparaging his former rival.

“I supported her because I wanted a woman president and I thought she was incredibly qualified,” explained the actor, who made an unsuccessful run for governor of New York in 2018.

“And I thought she was unbeatable,” Nixon added. “But it’s four years later.”

1. So Bernie has them to

Great job alienating the very votes you need

[Iliyah]

2. They are going to boo her at the Democratic Convention as well . . .

[hlthe2b]

3. I surely hope not. If Sanders wants to lead the nation, he needs to show some response to

his most extreme supporters and campaign officials. This wink, wink, nod, nod is beyond inappopriate. It will hurt us all.

[Zolorp]

4. Yep, and Sanders will probably be laughing the entire time

HE sure as hell won't condemn it, just like he refused to condemn them tearing down our nominee in our convention last time.

7. Good lord

That will play right to maggots plans.

9. they have MAGA hats at home too

[cynatnite]

5. I'd have more respect for Bernie had he been the one to condemned the boos. n/t

[samnsara]

6. 'FUNNY'? what side are they on??? not ours...

[samnsara]

8. they are children and this is an adults game.. time they go back home to mommy..

..we have one tantruming child in the white house.. we dont need any more in the Dem elections. This is like trump* asking NH repugs to vote for the weak... This is disruption nothing less. These are not Democrats.

10. Good for Cynthia

And yes that type of reaction in the crowd to Hillary's name does not help Sanders. But I am also forced to say this; There is no more experienced political figure inside the Democratic Party than Hillary Clinton. She damn well knew (or should have) what she was doing when, years after the 2016 election, she called out Sanders personally, including over the top cutting claims that "no one likes him". Hillary is a pro, and she knows how important it is for Democrats to unify to the extent possible heading into the 2020 election. She waved a red flag in front of the most bull headed Sanders supporters and, yeah, they predictably took the bait. None of this is helpful.

17. "no one likes him" was referencing when Bernie first came to the Senate

[mopinko]

11. i'm glad this issue is out in public and the media now.

i started saying it the day he got in the race, and took a looooot of pushback.
but it is a fact, and i am glad it is in the open now.

bernie needs to lead if he wants to be a leader.

12. Kudos to Cynthia Nixon. We all need to stay classy. n/t

13. I don't feel booing is cool, but why are people surprised?

Clinton has been shitting on Sanders recently. Are people that support Sanders supposed to be cool with that? And it isn't just the normal primary stuff.

[hlthe2b]

14. Maybe because most of us understand the concept "cutting off your nose to spite your face"

aka, the need to avoid self-destructive, damaging behavior when you absolutely need the support of your former non-supporters.

Or in more simplistic terms, "don't hand the damned race to trump because you are still fighting the 2016 primary). Hillary isn't running for anything. Bernie is.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

15. Are you talking about what Clinton did or some people that booed?

"Hillary isn't running for anything. Bernie is." Exactly. Why is she being self-destructive and damaging to those that are funning?

[hlthe2b]

16. wow... you refuse to get it.

I cease to engage when the argument fails to keep on subject but simply devolves into a childish version of "whataboutism": "but SHE did it, But He did it! " Well, she and whoever else are not running and no longer need our support. But Bernie does. And most of us don't want our candidates and their supporters to use TRUMP tactics

[Cuthbert Allgood]

18. She did divisive things.

And the general mood seems to be "just suck it up and forget it." Why? Stop doing divisive things when you aren't in the primary, then. And don't expect people to like you when you do.

She's not running. She doesn't need to be in the middle of this.

[hlthe2b]

19. SHE's NOT RUNNING. Will you EVER get THAT?

You should emulate your candidate, Warren. She's not doing ANY of this nor have I seen her (other) supporters doing so. "Adult in the room", for sure.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

20. So because she isn't running, she can't be doing things that are divisive?

And it wasn't like it was Sanders that was booing. And the person that was there shut that shit down. Neither Sanders nor Warren are partaking in this. And I don't know what Warren supporters would do if Clinton said divisive things about Warren. I bet they wouldn't like it. Just like Biden supporters wouldn't like it. This is on Clinton as much as it is on the random people in the audience. Certainly isn't on Sanders or Nixon.

What I'm saying is that a person who isn't running that shits on someone that is probably shouldn't expect that everyone is going to like what they say.

[hlthe2b]

21. Since you apparently don't read my posts but instead claim the opposite of what I wrote, i'm done

Again, maybe follow your own candidate's example, which I have repeatedly stated is not consistent with the stances you are defending.

[Cha]

24. Thank you!

[BusyBeingBest]

22. People who grudge against Bernie are always fishing about for this sort of stuff

from his crowds. It's like catnip to them. His crowds should realize that and knock it off, but booing is pretty tame and yeah, Clinton inserted herself into the mix so it's not really a surprise.

[Cha]

25. No. there's No need to "fish".

[oasis]

23. Disrespected Hillary? a Democrat who has done more for the nation and

the party than any of those in attendance, combined.

[Bobjustbob]

26. The Bernie supporters

that I have met and spoken to seem to be deeply immersed in a cult of personality that I find somewhat unnerving.

[marble falls]

27. Fairly broad brush there, eh Bob?

28. This is the type of conduct that I saw from vetted sanders delegates at the National Convention

Normally going to a national convention is a once in a life time experience. I have worked really hard inside the party on campaigns and voter protection issues for a very long time to earn this trip. Too bad that sanders and his vetted delegates ruined that experience and did their best to help trump. A candidate has absolute approval rights over their pledged delegates because these delegates can change their votes and these delegates represent the candidate and campaign. I helped vet Clinton delegates and I know that I was vetted. The Clinton campaign told us that we represent her and that our actions would reflect on her and her campaign.

In contrast, sanders sent one very weak text the Sunday night before the convention and then did little or nothing to control his delegates. It was nasty I was there when the sanders delegates booed Congressman John Lewis. I was warned about this stunt 30 minutes before it happened by the Clinton campaign whip. According to my whip, sanders was asked to stop this event and declined. That incident will be used against sanders by Russia to suppress the African American vote just as was done in 2016

Russia will just run material showing sanders delegates booing John Lewis, Elijah Cummings and others to suppress the vote of African American voters and I feel that this tactic would be very effective

I was at the Texas delegation breakfast when a group of sanders delegates marched in and demanded that we condemn Clinton and change our votes to sanders.

sanders spoke to the Texas delegation the next morning and his speech was again solely about himself. There was a mini-riot due to his delegates the prior morning and the only thing that sanders talked about was himself. sanders did nothing to deal with the fact that his delegates were out of control and did nothing to try to help Hillary Clinton win the general election.

Finally a group of sanders delegates yelled at my daughter and called her the c-Word because she would not try to get me to change my vote. Again sanders was asked to tell his delegates to behave during the convention and sanders refused

The conduct describe in the OP does not surprise me
