Bernie’s supporters aren’t Bernie. Bernie has never invited or supported that behavior. Bernie has asked his supporters - a very small subset of his supporters - not to be asshats to other candidates’ supporters.

While I think Bernie needs a lot of improvement in some areas, should Warren drop I will strongly support him. Attacking him because some supporters are jerks is the last refuge of people who can’t convince others that their candidate is better for substantive reasons.

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

But, he's the unity candidate!!! TwilightZone Mar 2020 #5

He actually IS unifying the party, but not behind him. They're all unifying to defeat him. George II Mar 2020 #12

so true!!! They created a staunch foe (and now Biden supporter) in me, with all their vicious lies Celerity Mar 2020 #19

I would bet that Democratic moderates not Bloomberg probably are working on the best way Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #42

I want that too...it is called politics. Sanders wanted everyone but Warren to stay in so? Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #45

Pete's supporters are relatively moderate IronLionZion Mar 2020 #16

But Bernie is his supporters' second choice kcr Mar 2020 #18

I find the second choice stuff to be BS...no way Sanders who doubled down on M4A will get Pete's Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #47

I agree. It's typical bs spin. kcr Mar 2020 #109

Now some could go to Warren. But there were hard feelings about the wine cave. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #111

Pretty shitty dancers to boot.... (eom) Democrats Ascendant Mar 2020 #29

So much hostility. I understand the anger, but this isn't going to be constructive. 58Sunliner Mar 2020 #31

I don't know about that. Homophobia is pretty terrible in my view. These are not nice people. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #50

No, some don't seem to be nice people. But they haven't advocated for violent policies- 58Sunliner Mar 2020 #105

Ridicule is used to dehumanize targeted groups...it is part of the path that Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #112

I agree they are on a slippery slope. And that ridicule is hostile. 58Sunliner Mar 2020 #113
