2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hey Democrats, Bernie isn't the enemy, why not save the smears and attacks for the REAL Enemy? [View all]Dem2
(8,176 posts)87. I'm still not seeing it
It may be true that Hillary has more money and more supporters in high places (access to the media) to go on TV and be critical of Bernie, but I don't believe this is having much effect on Bernie - if anything I believe it might help him as people like myself, and I would guess many other Democrats, sympathize with the underdog. If I want to know Hillary's opinion, I listen to Hillary, if I want to know Bernie's opinion, I listen to Bernie. Just as I tire of lame or unfair arguments here, the same applies with talking trolls on TV.

That's my theory also, but not a reason for democratic voters to support any of it imo.
