And criticism of Sanders does not equal "hatred."

My gramatical construction avoided a split infinitive - the "can be" is part of the second part of the statement.

Is that clearer?

You are applying my statements to Sanders, and had an emotional response.

An emotional response to any critique of Sanders is more indicative of an emotional, rather than logical assesment of the person doing the critiquing - which is rooted in confirmation bias.
