Bernie has nothing to gain from telling Dems and their supporters to go to hell.

67. I'd call that a big FAIL.

Nobody is doing that! (You've made a broad-brush but blind accusation. What's being said that offends you so much? Can you give some examples? Who is saying these things?)

Yet it only succeeds in creating division and resentment and distrust. I'm afraid that I must tell you that what he's doing... his methods... his words... it's just not working. It's not having a positive effect. In fact, the division and infighting only WEAKENS the party. Why would anyone CONTINUE to do things that WEAKEN the Democratic Party?

I mean, if this was his first "go" and wanted to "try something new"... and "give it a shot" just to see... well, perhaps nobody could fault someone for that. But now, it's the same thing: attack, smear, denigrate... attack, smear, denigrate... over and over.

After so many attempts, using the same technique, the results HAVE NOT CHANGED... the negative and resentful responses HAVE NOT CHANGED... the distrust CONTINUES TO GROW. So... the big question now is: why does he continue down this path that causes so much division within the party?

I think we can both agree that a divided party is a weakened party. Reasonable people can also agree that the responses to his attacks and smears are easily anticipated and predictable. Therefore, WHY DOES HE CONTINUE with this same failed tactic? It's not working. And it's actually HURTING the party, dividing us, weakening us.

How does that benefit anyone?
