re: #252 BeachDem

Oh, the Berniacs at Kos have all that sorted out. Re the Las Vegas thing:

Ah, it was probably kid volunteers.
No—it was staff.
Ah—well, they were only on the picket lines in solidarity.
No—they weren’t on picket lines—they were in employees only areas.
Ah—they were probably union members who liked Bernie.
No—they were impersonating union members.
Ah—well, the union doesn’t care.
No—the union has come out solidly against what happened.
Ah—well, who is Jon Ralston? Some low-life blogger?
No—he’s about the most well-respected political writer in Nevada.
Ah—well, Hillary did something worse.

On the logos:
Everyone does that.
Nope—they don’t.
Well, he was only saying that they rated him highly, not endorsed, no biggie.
Nope— AARP and the Conservation folks have said they’re upset.
Every blogger uses logos, no biggie.
This was a printed campaign piece from Bernie’s campaign, not a blogger.
Well—Hillary did something worse.

I think they just don’t realize how much their tone can get on people’s nerves. It’s not all Bernie supporters but I swear I think many of them are assholes for treating people in the Democratic Party who have made their career working on campaigns in the party as not being real Democrats because they prefer Clinton is really grating to me. Sorry, you’re not a better Democrat just because you’re more left wing. It’s not like that.
