(1,356 posts)that were festooned with Bernie paraphernalia, but which didn't seem to bother supporting the Senator. Attacking them is something that we should all do, since they're truly heinous entities that seek to sow division and attack Democrats, including Bernie supporters, from Elizabeth Warren to anyone sane enough to have advocated for voting Democratic in the General, despite supporting someone else in the primary.
There is no contradiction between being a Bernie supporter and being sane, but there is one between being a "bro" and being someone interested in electing Democrats or opposing Trump and the GOP.
What I don't get is what people are opposing Harris for right now anyway. Was her kick ass performance using her professional skills in hearings worthy of being opposition?
I oppose the things Sanders has said, the candidates he's supported and his reneging on the things he promised earlier be it providing tax returns or staying in the party. I have issues with Tulsi Gabbard as well, including her confab with tyrants working against the U.S. and bombing their own people and her friendliness with Trump, who is the enemy on every front.
That doesn't mean that I'm going to attack her personally, accuse of sleeping her way to the top or ding her for spouting some Republicanisms, or for her rabid Republican family. I will criticize anyone whose actual behavior I find worthy of it, based on what they're doing, not what some bots have decided to cherry pick to attack her.
We can indeed disagree and we most certainly should criticize, but we need to do so with some intelligence and decorum. Attacking people personally in the most vile terms by lying about them for the purpose of tainting them in case they decide to run for some office later, is not something that I approve of. It's something those brobots wish to happen, and I'm all for disappointing them in every way possible.
We already know their game plan, lets stand and fight together.
