To some, acting to push the Democratic Party further to the left is "hijacking the party"

80. When I keyword trashed "Bernie" and "Sanders, it filtered out about 98% of the

divisive posts on DU. That is telling.

There are plenty of Senators who have good voting records. Sanders is one of many in that sense. I found his support of Hillary during the general election lukewarm, especially when compared to Hillary's own support for Obama during their primary. As far as his public statements since the election, I think he is undermining the Democratic party at the moment when we most need to be seen as undivided.

Our Revolution, his baby, is kind of a mess. Its head has just declined to deal with people who vote Democratic. This is a small organization. This is where his leadership brought it. He is an idea guy. He needs to be more than that if he is going to get anything done.

Your comments about how mean people are here to the Sanders supporter are silly. If you would step back and look at the pattern, you would see that the Sanders supporters give as good as they get in a fight that should have been over long ago. Why do Sanders supporters need to be strident at all against other Democrats? What is it that they are doing right now that they need to raise their voices for that the rest of us are not doing too?

I think the average Sanders supporter understands that we have bigger fish to fry right now than this ridiculousness, and they don't feel the need to be strident against other Democrats.
