In reply to the discussion: I Don't Like Bernie Sanders, and You Can Die Mad About it [View all]AverageJoe
(2,292 posts)I am sad, though, that you think Bernies supporters are jerks, while I feel like every time I mention him in a positive light on DU I get my head handed to me, usually by a whole gang of folks.
Bad behavior is rampant here, and no one has a monopoly on it.
I dont want to be your enemy. I didnt notice who you support, but if they win the nomination, I will be all in for them. I promise.
We are all Democratsyes, even us Bernie supportersand I would so love it if we could get along, even as we support different candidates.
Ive offered this same message a lot in the past couple of weeks and its amazing how often it is met with disdain or open hostility. Still, I am being as genuine and sincere as I can be.
Be angry at individuals who wrong you, but please dont tar us all with the same brush. There is one particular candidate that I wont name whose supporters are especially ardent in attacking at the first mention of anything positive about Sanders. I know all supporters of that candidate are not bad people, though there are clearly some who think its okay to be awful, just because we disagree on who would be the best nominee.
I suspect someone will answer this with an admonishment along the lines of get your own house in order or dont tell me what to do! Thats fine. Thats the response I usually get.
But I can only speak for myself. I dont control anyone but me.
Lets not let the jerksand all candidates have jerks who support them hereconvince us to rip one another to shreds.
Okay. Im done.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
