16. Why the swipes at Bernie who is actually doing America a great service?

This stuff is really quite petty and divisive. Someone says good job Bernie and Bernie naysayers come out of the woodwork to beat him up. Why?

Is any one here actually AGAINST the social/economic/political goals and vision Bernie consistently and straight-forwardly describes? ... and promoted for 40 years?

Naysaying does nothing to actually "build" the party -- it doesn't build membership, visibility, capacity, capability or a stronger strategic focus. It just divides.
