Bernie Bros online have done more to turn people off than anything I have ever seen. I constantly have to keep reminding myself that I actually LIKE Bernie but cannot stand his holier-than-thou-vote-with-your-vagina voters.
I have my own concerns about Bernie's platforms. Let's remember - he will need Hillary voters if he wins the nomination and he absolutely cannot win a general without that crossover.
I would like Bernie so much more had I never come into contact with his rabid fan base.

I keep trying to rep you over and over for this. I completely agree. Some Bernie supporters hurt him more than they understand. Just like Republicans cannot brow beat certain groups into seeing things their way, neither can Bernie supporters. Either come to the table level headed and ready to discuss facts and issues, or just accept the fact that you are costing your candidate tons of votes with your belligerent, condescending behavior.
I have yet to see anyone willing to discuss ISSUES that might persuade me to support a particular candidate..its always "you just want free stuff" or "you must support the establishment". Neither of those things is true, but I'll be damned if I support anyone, or any group whose supporters can't express themselves and their views in an adult manner. Bernie has done a great job of building support for himself...his supporters, not so much.
