128. Why?

Bernie supporters are making quite a name for themselves on the internet as being hostile and out-of-touch

Straight from the Right Wing Play Book. Accuse the other side of the 'wrong doing' of what your own side does negatively wrong first, so as your side will appear 'more' credible.

again, what's with all the edginess, and do you still think we are to remain so gullible?
