What does it say that mild criticism of Bernie is met with great vengeance and furious anger?

261. I agree.

It is one thing to point out a particular policy and say why you disagree on that policy, but a lot of the fighting is overboard. No candidate is going to be perfect, whether someone is to the left, center, or right. In the primaries, it is a matter of which one each person prefers. I would think we can all agree that the Democratic Party candidate that wins the nomination is going to be tons better than any Republican, by leaps and bounds, to the nth degree.

I don't hate Hillary or Bernie. I agree with him on some things and with her on some things. In the primaries, I'll lean toward him, but reality says in the general election, she'll be the nominee and I'll vote for her. I have a few minor caveats, but overall, she's miles better than any Republican, not just MOR, but way better.

Now, there are some conservative Democrats, I do feel are not much better, because I know them in my local area and they rule the place, horribly. They are really Republicans using the Democratic Party, imo. They are nothing like the party at the national level, even those considered conservative by most on DU are still way more liberal than the ones where I live. The ones where I live are unreasonable and ultra conservative on social as well as economic issues. That doesn't leave me much room to stand, because I can't get with social conservatives. It is just not safe for me.

So, there are Democrats I have real beefs with, and they are mostly the local ones and a few I think we all get pissed off at from time to time. Hillary is not in that category. I hate the misogyny by some. That crap needs to go. It is not necessary to point out a difference of opinion.
