13343140, I get lower on Bernie the more I interact/read/hear his supporters

I think you mentioned it in here somewhere.

I had the same issue with hardcore Hillary supporters, to be fair.


But their blinders/hero worship/saint making/etc is exhausting. They would rather lose with their candidate than win with someone who matches said candidate 90% or whatever.


Dude is in here attacking Elizabeth Warren. Huh?


I get its a primary. But dude didn't login to attack Biden. Or Petey Pablo. Or Beto.

He didn't log in to attack the 'centrist' candidates.


He logged in to attack the most progressive actual Democrat in the race.


And its a weak argument at that. As you said, 100k + vote. There are also no doubt other factors impacting that statistic.

And the other attacks? Shitting on the CCB. Calling her a weapon of the establishment. Etc.

Claiming that he was going to get "attacked" in here for supporting Bernie, when he.is.second.in.this.very.poll.

I'm not saying they shouldn't support Bernie if thats their guy. But they should at least be able to talk about his potential weaknesses that could/would lead to him losing.

Pretending the weaknesses aren't there does no good- ask Hillary supporters.

And they should focus their anger on the centrist candidates- not the other progressive in the race.
