it's a sad reflection of tunnel vision coupled with self-righteous anger. What do they not see? That Bernie is not the problem, he simply pointed out the truth that establishment Dems have been sweeping under the rug, that they ultimately lost on (based on the numbers) and that our party now needs to refocus on if we want to have turnout next time that will actually win us back some seats. In a twisted way it's to our benefit that trump has been installing corporatists/lobbyists this past week, provided that we are willing to continue calling him on it, as Bernie etc all have already started doing. We must maintain a strong media offensive to keep people aware.
