In reply to the discussion: Aren't you tired of the character assassination against Bernie? [View all]The Second Stone
(2,900 posts)That's the logical fallacy of the undistributed middle.
Your whining is whining. It's not Sen. Sanders, its you.
Sen. Sanders is (for a politician) a great guy who I will be proud to vote for if he gets the nomination. Which he won't if you don't get out there, smile, register voters, and give them a reason to vote for your candidate, not against someone you don't like.
You want people to not bash Sanders. Okay. That's what you want. This is politics. What you want isn't going to happen. Not in a campaign, and not when he is President. When he is President, he will never stop being bashed. Whaddya gonna do then? Turn less pleasant?
Try emulating Sanders. He's a positive fellow who isn't always whining while promoting his candidacy.
He's your number one guy, and he's my second choice after Clinton. Like Obama was my second choice. You don't want people to "lie" about him. Well, your definition of "lie" is, from the outside perspective, really frickin broad, to the point of saying anything critical. Offer the facts, not whining, in response. You make Sanders (who may be our nominee) look like he has a bunch of teenagers as his supporters. He doesn't need that.
