(1,076 posts)Truthful criticisms aren't attacks. Whining about "attacks" that are no such thing is the biggest damned lie berners spew when someone even whispers a hint of disagreeing with him.
It's disingenuous of your dear leader to run away to sulk about the failure of his bullshit revolution while he and his flying monkey minions somehow find plenty of time to bash Democrats--which doesn't mean only politicians but all those who have voted against him, including the women and minorities who are shocked to learn they have somehow become "establishment" Democrats.
And just who are you to demand unity, anyway? I'll believe BS is interested in unity when he concedes in a timely manner. I'll believe a Sanders supporter is interested in unity after all those berners screeching bullshit and hate at Biden as we speak right now knock it off and start showing more support and respect for the candidate the voters chose.
In other words, you can hardly tut-tut about unity from anyone when your candidate and too many of your fellow supporters refuse to do it FIRST. That's how concessions work. You give up something to get something. And the one with the weak (read: LOSING) position is the one who has to do it FIRST. You don't concede when you're in the position of strength (read: WINNING), like Biden is.
Your side is in no position to demand anything, of anyone. As long as you refuse to understand that tantrums and threats are the absolute wrong way to get any concessions, you're going to get backlash and well-deserved criticism.
So clean up the garbage in your own backyard before demanding where the rest of the party puts up patio furniture in theirs.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
