(13,081 posts)94. Those are all valid points
However, Mrs. Clinton's supporters aren't coming across much better. Not all, but many.
Your second point is dead-on, yet I still appreciate Mr. Sanders calling attention to the problems of the middle and working classes. "We" are aware of it, but by definition the posters here are politically active and usually well-informed.
I really, really like Sanders, but at this point he probably IS a 21st century McGovern.
Finally, he's a Denocrat now
Again: I don't think hostility is going to do anyone's candidate -- or the Democratic Party as a whole -- any good. I believe that as salesmen and Democrats, we need to be bridge builders and consensus makers.
Just my two cents.

I hope Sanders can get more media coverage for the event, and long after - on issues that matter, America agrees with Bernie.
