In reply to the discussion: The real reason Bernie's supporters are being attacked is because they are very effective [View all]GitRDun
(1,846 posts)What I see is people projecting they are being smeared, called racist..when really what's happening is others are pointing out Sanders campaign missteps, a tin ear in some speeches, etc.
I've learned a lot by listening, reading links given by people who know the topic, etc. What I'm seeing from some (not a plurality) BS supporters is a rush to "correct the record" as quickly as possible, deny what seem like obvious BS tactical, campaign mistakes, and pile on opinions that are different than their own.
The whole notion of this OP is that people who want the status quo are smearing Sanders supporters because they are envious of Sanders campaign organizing capabilities. Really?
I haven't seen HRC supporters or others arguing for the status quo, have you?
Bernie is just starting in SC, Hillary is already national. Why would there be envy?
Lastly, disagreeing is not smearing. It's OK to say he needs to build bridges with minority communities. That does not equate to saying he's a racist or any of his supporters are...it's just a fact.
