Bernie Sanders supporter threatens to cut out Rep. McDermott's tongue

[ffr]

6. I think this is a theme that feeds on itself

It starts with good people who support their candidate and mean well. Then the race gets competitive and someone says something nasty about the other candidate and the next person says something that tops that person's message and away we go.

This idiot, Jasper Bell, does not represent his candidate or democratic values. Bernie Sanders is a great man that would not condone such behavior. Likewise, Hillary Clinton is a wonderful person, a giving person, who has dedicated herself to public service and does not warrant such hatred towards her...which is sometimes hard to see past here on DU. Both should be admired for their dedication and admirable service.

This is why we all need to support our candidates in a positive way. Strive mightily as adversaries do, but unite behind our common values. Nastiness has no place in our party.
