54. I don't have one with the movement.

I had a disagreement with the chosen tactics of a couple of people who claimed to represent the movement a few months back. I think they could simply have asked for what they wanted first, since Sanders is a reasonable enough person, and he may very well have simply given it to them. If he did not, THEN they could have escalated to the tactics they chose to employ from the start. But the fact that they automatically assumed he wouldn't accommodate them or work with them was annoying because it threw a wrench in the wheels of his campaign right as it was starting to get off the ground.

Really, it's no different than the irritation felt by commuters when a protest makes them late for work on a day when they have a big presentation that will affect their career advancement. The commuters don't automatically disagree with whatever it is the protesters are protesting, they're just annoyed that the chosen protest interfered with something important to them. On the flip side, the protesters are not doing what they do because they don't want that person to get a promotion at work, they're just doing what they feel they need to do to advance a cause important to them. The commuters might be in 100% agreement with the protesters, but still wish to heck that they'd chosen some other way to protest.
