Bashing Democrats isn't going to do much to reach out to Trump voters, and your link doesn't explain how his attacks are not attacks. Wanting something other than what it clearly is might work for people, that's how Trump won after all, but it doesn't change the Senator's words and they were indeed denigrating the party. There is no getting around that, no how much you WANT to. Words have meanings, and that seems to be difficult thing for some people to grasp these days, much like those disenchanted Trump voters who WANTED so very much to pretend that Trump wasn't saying what he was.
Let's not follow that failed path, shall we, we know where that gets us.
Bernie made a mistake, it's okay to admit it. He's human and he's a politician, both of those are error prone.
