(5,648 posts)How can a group of proud progressives defend a group of people acting like heathens. One Sanders supporter who was interviewed after blamed the ugliness the on the proximity of many bars in the area. If you look closely at the videos with an objective eye you might come away with the impression that some of those folks were not using good judgement due to the alcohol in their systems.
Do you also defend the many phone calls which were directed at Nevada officials which threatened their lives and their children and grandchildren? Is that permissible behavior. Are those people who you are proud to have as fellow Sanders supporters?
Folks, if you don't call out your own when they do despicable things, you endanger the reputation of the entire group.
