The Bernie Bashing is so counterproductive.

89. Exactly who is screaming that independent are bad?

And we're calling out the things he's saying that we don't agree with, like attacking Democrats, and Democratic candidates, while supporting people like Heath Mello?

We don't agree on jettisoning women's basic rights and "real Dems" and real progressives don't think forcing women to have invasive ultrasound procedures for the sole purpose of shaming them into forced gestation is a good thing.

He and his supporters are doing a whole lot of damage and pissing off Democrats and progressives with their constant attacks. Should we just lay back and enjoy the abuse? Honestly, all this cloth rending is utterly insane and we're tired of being asked to allow people to do whatever they wish, because our rights, our opinions and our voices don't matter, and we need to get along with the very people who are taking sides with our fucking enemies on issues like our basic human rights and bodily integrity.

The more they keep doing this the less progressive they prove themselves to be, and we don't need to "come together" with the nastiest elements of the right, even if they're pretending to be pure and "independent". Do not demand this of us, we will persist and we will resist.
