(14,173 posts)"divisive" is another word that is applied to different groups. Bernie and his supporters are "divisive" because he dares to say that Democats strategy must change, must evolve to support more grassroots over pleasing the corporate class, on the heels of losing massively all across the country in the last 10 years. That is deemed "attacking" the party.
Yet I'd say that constantly refighting the primaries with anti-Bernie OPs almost daily in here is also "divisive". Because Bernie had almost half of Democratic support at the end of the contest, so by alienating and demonizing Bernie, you also slap the face of every Democrat that supported him at one time.
This dog piling, tit for tat, "I'm only reacting to what you are reacting to" is pointless. And tiring. I think we'd both agree. So how about no more anti Bernie OPs and no more anti Hillary OPs? I'd like that. Its just that there seems to be much more of the former and almost none of the latter (well, none at all as you'd get tombstoned).
