There's an anti-bullying instinct that people have. There's a lot of anti-Bernie hostility in MSNBC, not all the hosts there, but overall it's obvious, and it gets ridiculous at times (e.g. Chris Matthews talking about executions in Central Park).

The point she makes about the cynicism and dishonesty of the "Bernie's lost 50% of his support since 2016" talking point is also very true. Do the people in the media pushing that line really think people don't understand that there are lots of candidates this time instead of basically just two?

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