As I said, my wife does not like my mother and has not for years. That does not mean anything about either of them on a global level. It just means they don't get along; it does not prove anything about them as people generally.
You posted an article saying Bernie conflicted with Barny on passing an amendment and use it to claim that noone likes working with him. Yes, it is clear that at least at that time Bernie and Barney conflicted. I will note that this article was from Bernie's first six months in congress and says nothing about his long term relationship with other congress members and there is absolute proof that it is not the case that people did not work with him.
Sanders was a founding member and leader of the Progressive Caucus so obviously and definitively people some congress people liked and worked with him. It had and has many members. The democratic party authorities have accepted his caucus as well. You find 2 people with their own baggage and motives one of which from his first six months in office and the other during a contentious political campaign where press assets were pressed to actively try to get Bernie out of the race and assert as proven something about him that is clearly at odds with his history.
Btw with equally fast work, I found the article about Hillary working with Bernie which again is not proof that everyone loves him but does prove that everyone does not dislike him. All politicians have people who have a bone to pick with them. You should know that about politicians you support as well.
You probably know it anyhow but here is one of many articles of Hillary thanking Bernie for his work on her attempts to pass Health Care in Bill's administration. Not only was there a thank you note but a picture that sure looks like she worked with him although according to you that was impossible.

Instead of trying to assert something about Bernie as fact, why don't you stick to the truth. YOU DONT SUPPORT BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT. That I can not challenge. It is your right. It is a lie to present as fact a claim that nobody else likes him.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
