Message to all the Bernie bro's: you catch more fly's with honey!

I'm a Biden supporter but acknowledge that Bernie looks ascendant (although plenty of the race to go yet). However I'd hope that at this stage the pro-Bernie crowd starts to calm down a little and stop the hate talk against fellow Democrats. Eventually we need to coalesce around a candidate and regardless of whether its Biden or Bernie, toning down some of the hot-talk will help us all and it it might even help you get more support to your candidate because you catch more fly's with honey.

They have made it clear that they will abandon the Democratic Party, and the Resistance (remember the Resistance?).

Sort of Gun to the Head politics.

If the party does not accept Bernie's demands, we have to nominate a candidate that can attract enough independents and disillusioned, moderate Republicans to make up for the Bernie voters who will stay home.

will agree with you and hopefully they are trying to rein in some of the more obnoxious supporters out there. You are right of course.

But why does anyone want to catch flies in the first place?

I never understood this saying.

I don't want to attract flies. Period.

...and I don't see the behavior as having changed at all in 4 years, so I expect nothing less than "my way or the highway" low road rhetoric from that contingent.
