Deal with them with as much class as you muster, or ignore them. People who aren't deeply invested in these forum battles will glance notice who is saying what. That helps get Sanders supporters because our side really is for the 99%, and that's mostly who views these boards.

The whole "inevitability" mantra too easily comes off as sounding like privilege. Many of those who tout it can't see that. It's the Sanders campaign that's stirring the voters who've been on the sidelines. With Senator Sanders as our candidate, the progressive movement will ride into the White House on a wave.
