The underlying point about the movement trying to push the establishment out of leadership is a solid one. They were too angry when they wrote that post. It doesn't justify an overgeneralization about Bernie supporters being crazy like Tea Partiers...that's engaging in the same sort of illogical and emotion-based thinking that this poster is engaging in as well, just from the other side of the coin. Can we at least attempt to rise above it please?
