Nate Silver: Sanders surrogates' attacks on Pete Buttigieg are "extremely weird"

[Autumn]

99. No it isn't disingenuous. Our country and our system needs a shake up. In 08 there were

voters who were interested in both Obama and Romney and went for Obama because they wanted change. After finding a video I realized the tweet linked in the OP by Ro Khanna was disingenuous and bullshit, no video was posted so I responded to that and the points in the OP made about Bernie supporters.

I had to look for a video, I'm not going to wade through the twitter cesspool to figure it out. Pete didn't compare Bernie to Trump. I stand by my opinion that anyone who compares Bernie to Trump is wrong.

What Pete said was that said that Bernie supporters like Trumps supporters want to vote for Bernie to blow up the system. That's nothing horrible but IMO he's wrong. No one's perfect. There may be a few idiots who want that but for the most part, Sanders supporters just want a better system, a fair system that works for the people. The focus here seems to be all about the supporters of a candidate and instead of focusing on what their candidates actually say they elevate the stupidest things said by assholes like Khanna who twisted what Pete said and a few assholes that support a person that say dumb ass things because they aren't politically aware.

In fact, Sanders supporters sometimes make arguments like these themselves to claim Bernie will appeal to Trump voters. It's an extremely weird thing to get upset about unless they're deliberately looking to pick a fight with Buttigieg.

Hard to read the coordinated bad faith attack on Pete Buttigieg by Bernie Sanders surrogates as anything other than concern on their part that Buttigieg has the ability peel voters from Sanders.
