Asking what they're doing is not asking what you are doing. Many people who say they align with "Our Revolution" do so idealistically. Yes, they are responsible for what they support, but that doesn't mean they all understand what that is.
Btw, speaking of understanding, did you ever ask yourself WHY Bernie Sanders has such antipathy toward the Democratic Party and Democrats that he's spent 50 passionate years mostly ignoring what conservatives have done? Don't look for rational reasons or noble-sounding official reasons for that one. The official reasons pasted on top do all require villifying Democrats of course, and both official reasons and hidden passions leave little time or energy for looking right.
Sanders fits a type characterized by that kind of antipathy to liberals and their liberal party wherever they're found on this planet, and that type has been studied. Another prize characteristic is an overweaning righteousness that makes it not just unnecessary but usually impossible to question their own motivations and actions.
