55. It really wasn't back and forth early on. When it became clear for me was August black lives matter

Thu Mar 17, 2016, 02:15 AM

Mar 2016

in Seattle.

The reaction to the protesters and the movement showed how completely over the top many Sanders supporters were. That's when I realized there was something different about many of the folks supporting Sanders that was really ugly.

And no, I don't deny nastiness exists on the Hillary side. Cosmicone, who I generally like, posted something on the ugly side under this OP that I wish he hadn't said. But see it's a one off. It's not a swarming effort. And I'm not picking on him. I've said stuff that in hindsight I shouldn't have said. Again, a one off.

I think too many Sanders supporters believed that their ticket to the nomination was to attack Hillary and to attack anyone who supported Hillary or criticized Sanders and bully them. The evidence is everywhere and it does not exist on the other side.

There may not have been anything you personally could have done because there were just far too many Sanders supporters doing it. Something should have been done though and it should have come from the campaign no later than early September.
