(10,167 posts)1. "Bernie derangement syndrome?"
I can say this with confidence. Every friend and relative of mine that supported Senator Sanders during the primaries voted for Secretary Clinton in the general. Two were pissed about something, but voted for Hillary anyway.
These constant attacks on Sanders, who is exactly in line with a 1960-70's Democratic liberal platform, are really turning me away right now. I have identified as a Democrat since 1960, that's a long time. I never have felt this way. But rather than leave MY party, I may just go to Twitter and leave DU to the dividers and disrupters. Such bogus bullshit.

It's old and tired and monotonous, keep picking at a scab, same thing, it's only hurting our unity.

Yes, Bernie's constant insults of the Democratic party are picking a scab he should let heal.

Ah, the tired ol' "tell us what you have done" refrain. Did you see the look on Perez' face...

There are no "anti-Bernie posts". There are posts discussing his unhelpful rhetoric

Why don't you listen to what I'm saying instead of putting your words in my mouth?
