11. This a good but I have a small quibble

"And if anyone tells you to stay quiet for unity, you remind them that true unity does not require silence. They are describing control"...

Does this mean Bernie Sanders, a member of the Democratic leadership, gets to similarly speak his mind because "true unity does not require silence"?

I'd further stipulate that Senator Sanders' has similarly been galvanizing people to run for office for a very long time now. I'm sure "progbros" (wtf?) would be the first to encourage anyone to get in the fight
