...this is a positive post about Sanders supporting the insurgent campaign of Jesse Jackson.

I was a huge Jackson supporter in my early adulthood and that was one of the most exciting races (up to Super Tuesday) that I've been involved in.

This personal attack by you is extremely weird. I realize the atmosphere around here assumes anyone dissenting one bit from their candidate automatically hates them, but I actually admire Bernie Sanders and have said so several times. In fact, I don't believe you can't find anyone here who has posted more positive threads about rival candidates, including Sanders, than myself.

...what exactly are you projecting here?

I see this as a positive for Bernie Sanders.

I've said it before. It's almost worthless for me to even attempt to reach out through such defensiveness, but I have, consistently in this primary.

...this is an exercise I do when I feel things have gotten too partisan.

I check my own posting and find something I can support and agree with about a rival and post it to try and do my part to set better examples. I know most folks can't see that from me, but I do try.
