As many of us get older, we have experienced decades of the yelling back and forth and have become weary of it. But the young folks are full of verve and energy and that energy can be harnessed if people would just listen and teach and guide rather than dismiss and insult and lecture about how they are supposed to "act".
You or I may not agree with the tactics but it is what it is. However, as I have said several times in this thread - candidates MUST find a strategy to deal with disruptions and heckling. They cannot say "I'm done" and take their ball and leave. Should Bernie get elected and travel around the nation and the world, he will be confronted with disruptions far more insidious and heated than a young person yelling at him as he walks through a crowd.
