The incessant whining about coverage is not going to persuade anyone to cast a single vote for Sanders.

Even if the coverage is unfair, what on earth does this whining do? How many votes does it get?

And, before some anonymous poster jumps on me, go ahead and prove you ever actually supported Sanders in the first place. Because I sometimes get the impression that some "supporters" are purposefully annoying in order to repel others.

I did, early on last time around:

Money to Candidates BERRYHILL, JOHN
WILMINGTON, DE 19808 JOHN B. BERRYHILL LLC 02-10-2016 $201.00 Sanders, Bernie (D)

That's money I regret spending.

At least this time around we don't have the various not-really-official "Sanders" efforts engaging in similar victim theatrics like the "Enough is Enough" bullshit march on DC that never happened and ended in various bizarre accusations, or that nitwit who was pirating television broadcasts and got his YouTube channel shut down.

Honestly, a lot of Sanders' basic appeal is lost in the constant whining by people other than Sanders. There are a lot of good things to say about Bernie. This is not it.

On edit: For those that don't remember the loopy "we don't need a permit" nonsense march on DC, I still think it was a ratfucking effort by people who weren't Bernie supporters in the first place: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1251770162

Looking back on the threads promoting that scam, it's interesting how many of its supporters have gone away or been tombstoned since.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
