In reply to the discussion: Making an issue of Bernie Supporters is the Dumbest Fucking Campaign Tactic in History [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)Unfortunately, I have become educated here to recognize that some of the far left behavior traits that I dislike so much are displayed in Sanders himself.
The reality is far left people are far more like far right people such as the Tea Party than they are liberals. That's why all the tumult here at DU. Although Bernie is currently running as a Democrat, he mostly despises Democrats, he mostly despises liberals, and his followers do too. Liberals believe in working with others to achieve our goals. Cooperation and compromise are anathema to the far left, literally seen as corruption, instead of tolerance and acceptance of others with other ideas, they have hostility and aggression.
We just all do not belong in the same party, hardly more than liberals would belong in the same party with far right conservatives. This isn't refusing to join with them for a common goal, it is just recognition that they both cannot and don't want to.
BTW, have I missed more of the talk about radicals taking over the Democratic Party and shoving out us liberals and other current Dems, or has that high-flying plot been tabled for now?
