and please see my post #24 to understand more about where I'm coming from, is that his comment chastising supporters of Bernie Sanders for uncomely behaviour was not fair - considering that at the same time Skinner was donning a HRC logo. His comment was "blind", it was partisan, and it is still being used today to bludgeon Bernie Sanders' supporters.

Please see the Bernie Sanders group on DU and compare it with any other group, for any other candidate, regarding whether it is upbeat, positive, pro-Democratic. Skinner's slam against Bernie Sanders' supporters was wrong. It doesn't reflect the reality of DU.
