2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Supporters - Please read my post [View all]davidpdx
(22,000 posts)Though you do not make it completely clear, which is why I'm asking.
If that is the case, I again point to two statements. One that I wholeheartedly support him and two that he asked us to hold his feet to the fire as he himself and I will continue to do that. The second one is FACT, not opinion. I have done that by voicing my concern through letters and petitions to him and to my Congress people, not by wasting time trashing him on DU.
That is appreciating his worth. If you want to claim otherwise please go ahead and say so directly to me. I worked my ass off to get him elected and reelected because I believe in him. That doesn't mean I lose the right to question what he does or says. Occasionally I do, though a majority of the time I am very happy he won.
I think you need to be careful about twisting people's words as you'll find yourself making more enemies than you need to.
