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

[synergie]

95. Um, do you not understand how book tours work?

Media appearances, and other activities to raise one's profile. Writers, even politicians do it all the time. "Debating" Ted Cruz is something to garner some attention.

I don't know what's with the hate here, but I'm certainly not expressing any toward Bernie, though I'm being subjected to quite a lot of it from his acolytes.

You're new here, perhaps you're a bit confused, just cause people insist that comments are hateful, it doesn't automatically follow that they are. This site, like many others, has its own population of people who thrive on fostering negative feelings for reasons of their own.

This is a site for Democrats, when a guy who says he's on our side attacks the party, it's natural for people to criticize him, especially when it's mildly. That's not hate. You're at the correct site if you're supporting Democrats, if your game is to attack them, and anyone who dares to call out attacks on Democrats, then that sort of nonsense is not welcome here, no matter how certain people might cheer out that sort of abuse.

We were a pretty cohesive group for awhile, but something seems to have changed that. We don't know if it's visitors from Conservative sites, other malicious actors, but they're here and they're kicking up a fuss by creating drama where there was little before.

Oh, and when people are on book tours, they can do other things, town halls and multiple media interview are how they promote their book and increase sales, so yeah, this looks like a book tour. Why else would one elevate a turd like Cruz? Also, there is nothing wrong with that, that's literally how PR and book sales work. Hope that cleared up your confusion.
