(1,729 posts)It would be one thing if it were just our posts (and thus our ideas) that were being silenced but it is also our ability to share more of them. Moreover, it's difficult to be part of the ongoing flow of a conversation when you're constantly knocked out of the discussion. Bernie's most ardent supporters know this and that's why they do it. They would rather this be a Bernie echo chamber but the political and social reality they fail to realize is that the echo chamber does not read as well to the undecided observer. The passion that comes from defending your ideas in a space where people disagree with them helps to strengthen those ideas to the people reading. Remember, most great debates aren't about changing the minds of the you're debating. It's about changing the minds of the audience. An echo chamber doesn't do that.
