I would ignore it if I didn't think it was harmful.
I have 3 adult kids who were Bernie supporters. Only one of them voted despite my non-stop arm-twisting ( fortunately we are all in deeply blue Oregon). They express concerns that I am unable to dismiss. They are not racist, they are not stupid, one of the two who didnt vote is gay, they all have college degrees, they all work hard and honestly to support themselves. I am proud of who they are and what they stand for. Frankly, anyone who criticizes them is criticizing me and off base. I could go on. Suffice it to say blaming people like my adult kids which is exactly what they are doing in effect is self-defeating. It angers me ... especially coming from what I consider my own.
