A Message to Bernie Sanders’ Supporters: You Can’t Handle the Truth

[TekGryphon]

82. As someone knocking on doors, I have to agree with his assessment on some of Bernie's supporters.

Let's set aside the many people who aren't that involved with politics, even if they identify as Democrats. Those are the majority of who I meet, and who I'm trying to get to vote, but I don't hold out a lot of hope they'll show up to the Primary votes.

The ones I am confident will come to the primary votes are enthusiastic Democrats. They know issues, they know their local politicians, they know their issues at the federal level.

It is extremely rare that I run across someone who doesn't like Bernie Sanders. It makes my job a lot easier that he's got a great message and a great set of platforms.

The one thing I consistently hear? What a complete turnoff many Bernie Sanders voters are.

They look at them and see people who aren't committed to the progressive movement as a whole or the issues that are important to it. They're obsessed with their one "pet" candidate and they're willing to burn the progressive movement to the ground and let the conservatives win if they don't get their way.

Active and enthusiastic Democrats want to hear about Bernie's ideas and platforms. They don't want to hear wild-eyed conspiracy theories about how evil Hillary Clinton is, and how the DNC is engaged in a massive conspiracy.
