Thank you, Bernie!! -- Bernie Sanders Shares His Blueprint for Resisting Trump

42. Yeah, those that enjoy attacking progressives, Democrats and the party see these attacks

as something glorious, those who see the hostility and the attacks for what they are see it as not helpful.

He is an outsider, he chose to be one, and many go out of their way to tout his rights to be an outsider, and that's fine. This is not helpful, it's not constructive, and it's helping the actual enemy, who should be the focus of our fight. Instead, we have people scolding the progressives, Democrats and the party that is doing the actual fighting. Doesn't matter how your bias colors it, it's not helpful and it's not welcome.

Also, if you welcome reasonable posts, why don't you engage in them? When you choose to fight, even on posts that are obvious jokes, tweaking the over the top nonsense from people, you're not showing yourself to be happy to discuss things.

Enough already with supporting the elements that are here to be as unproductive, insulting and inflammatory as possible, even if you're not doing it yourself that's harmful, when you purposefully do that yourself, it's rather hypocritical.

Bernie is on a book tour, to sell books, he's not engaging in a one man revival tour. It's what politicians who write books do. That's not a judgment, that's just simple fact, let's not pretend it's something its not. Give him credit for what he does, which is quite a bit, in his role as Senator, but when he runs off at the mouth and engages in supposedly "friendly" fire, he deserves the legitimate criticism for that.

Recall that the very ones heaping the beatific praise upon him are the very ones who insist that criticism is good and noble, how come if he's an insider as you claim, we are not allowed to criticize him as one of our own?

You can't have it both ways, and all these special rules that only apply to Bernie and no one else.
