(11,175 posts)We have here another example of the fallacy of the excluded middle, which abounds on DU. I would take your phrase "scolding folks who still haven't felt the Bern" to mean posts that, refighting the primary, urge people to agree that the Democratic Party should have nominated Bernie. On the other side are the posts bashing Bernie. Of the posts I've seen, those in the second category far outnumber those in the first.
I suspect that where you and I differ is with regard to a post that says something, anything, positive about Bernie -- or, most commonly, refutes the latest criticism. Such a post is the middle that I suspect is being excluded. A post like that doesn't constitute "scolding folks who still haven't felt the Bern" in my book.
Now, if you had asked me for my thoughts on the OP's maligning the organizers of the Women's Convention for daring to invite Bernie, then I would have agreed with you that such posts further the divisions and keep the fight going.
