(229 posts)Are those the people you speak off? Those seem to be deliberately upsetting people, and the supporters of these threads have a rather harsh, kicking tone that skirts the Tops.
It does not seem as if their aim is to come together, from what we have seen this week, coming together is not on the agenda fir some of these people. Remember that of all the thousands of tickets to these rallies given out, there is a lot of booing of Democrats and the New Democratic leadership, expect Bernie, who does not do a thing to correct this behavior.
Thin skinned people who cannot tolerate reasonable and polite criticism of their "hero" as I gave seen him being called (either here or on Twitter, can't remember) are seeking to cause trouble and are easy to spot. If is not a both sides thing, from what I've seen.
Bernie misstepped badly this week, Democrats are pissed, and we are going to talk about it here on a Democratic site, it's weird for people to get all aggressive and hostile about it when someone brings up legitimate criticism that is happening. The name calling, the attacks on posters etc. that needs to stop, we are better than this, those who come here to harass us are not.
