4. The fact that the very thread discussing disturbing cult like behaviors

exhibited by some Sander's supporters was stalked, swarmed and censored in a private group reinforces the reason the thread was needed in the first place.

It isn't enough for them to promote their candidate and points of view. They have to squelch all freedom of speech if it questions their leader or their own questionable behavior. Ironic, cult like and totalitarian. It is also a characteristic of privilege. At the core, it is about power. Having power, coupled with the fear of losing it, emboldens those who feel most threatened.

I just remembered that I wrote a post about exactly this a while ago and it is as timely today as it was then:

Invading Safe Spaces is an Entitlement Issue

The good news is, right minded people (like Hillary!) are working to make that better and to level the playing field bit by bit. You know, incrementally. Onward!
