(5,204 posts)I mean a Bernie supporter who isn't harassing John Lewis probably won't spend much time on his facebook page, so Bernie supporters posting on his Facebook page would be disproportionally bad apples and not have so many good apple Bernie supporter to call them out.
I suppose you're right about the treatment of blacks during this campaign (and not the campaign Hillary ran 8 years ago) has been largely Bernie supporters at fault. And there are some recent problems. But I think the people continuing to have an issue today is a small minority. I think Bernie supporters have moved on from the BLM protests and accepted that they and Bernie made mistakes in responding to it, and a strong racial justice platform is important. After all, you'd be crazy to think that the police were justified in executing Tamir Rice.
