RATED MSM town halls. Wasn't his Fox News town hall the most watch ever for a presidential candidate or something like that?? Yall need to stop with this press is the enemy of the people ass argument(which, btw, we've seen before hint hint).

Furthermore, Sanders hasn't even experienced ANY major news-cycle-dominating scandals like for example Biden (the groping), Buttigieg (the contentious city town hall and soundbites), Kamala (her clash with ADOS), or even Clinton(the servers/emails, Benghazi, her husband's crime bill), etc. One can confidently say Sanders has more or less experienced the typical, garden variety, sometimes-good-sometimes-not-so-good coverage as any politician with some name recognition. Like even if he's taken some jabs from the pundits (which I'm not saying he hasn't), my point is his competitors have definitely received a LOT worse, both now and in 2016. The media treats him fine.

I think at some point yall need to accept that maybe, just maybe lol, some people listen to what Bernie and his supporters are talking about and DON'T LIKE IT.

For example, the authoritatian themes in this pro-Bernie Jacobin piece published earlier this year:

https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/02/a-plan-to-win-socialism-in-america

COMPLETELY reinforced my aversion to the entire movement, even though I may agree on the need for reform in some areas. Again, the above is a piece PROMOTING Sanders and the DemSoc agenda, NOT criticizing it.

Like... I used to joke about Sanders' authoritarian tone, but combine his tone with the way his supporters literally try to pimpslap anybody who doesn't worship Bernie into supporting their cause.. it all just confirms my fear that Sanders and many of his supporters are essentially trying to exploit Democratic Party infrastructure to install a socialist dictatorship in America. Like, imagine receiving this degree of contempt from "within" one's own party:

"Sanders should also use the bully pulpit of the presidency to support primary challengers against obstructionist Democrats. Many representatives are merely careerists who will acquiesce to a leftist program if it is a choice between that or irrelevance. But a core of ideological centrists should be dislodged entirely — if only to set an example for the rest that they would pay a higher price for obstructing progress than they will for upsetting their former corporate masters."
