In reply to the discussion: How to Increase Bernie’s Negatives [View all]davidlynch
(644 posts)11. I understand how you feel, I think it is a defense mechanism...
to try to look at what is really going on clearly. Instead of responding emotionally to this grave injustice, I can look at this with little emotion, just the next turn of events, one of many. Yesterday was bad for Bernie, but there are going to be good days ahead. There are going to be twists where the anvil drops on Hillary's head as well. Try to remain objective and focus on the best thing you can do to help Bernie today, whether it be writing another OP or making a contribution. And know in your heart that there will be a lot of justice ahead if we're patient.

Apologizing for the strawman of Clinton/Brock's invention isn't a good solution.

This has hurt both camps -- Bernie's and Hillary's. The proof will be in the pudding.
