I want Joy Reid to come through this fine, hell, stronger than ever would be great

[Tom Rinaldo]

10. I bent over backward with this OP

I made sure to express displeasure with any Sanders supporters eager to attack Reid because I want to defuse rather than increase tensions here, even though I believe only a tiny minority of Sanders supporters fit that description. But it's a big country with scores of millions of people active in politics, even a few hundred people can make a lot of noise on the internet.

The post you added to this thread could also be called a lynching of the "Bernie left". It is nothing more than a written opinion by one person without any documentation establishing the extent of the behavior it is critical of, or any verifiable account of how many people may be responsible for it (let alone possible Russia sponsored trolls and bots). From that it draws sweeping broad brushed and inflammatory conclusions.

I don't doubt that some of the behavior described in what you posted to some extent occurred. But what you posted here (and elsewhere) does a whole lot of extrapolating from very little actual substance. It is just about as helpful to our larger cause as any eager attacks on Joy Reid, from whoever, are.
