I probably align with more than 90% of what Bernie says. The policy positions he takes is different from other progressives only in degree and not in purpose. Did Bernie not side with Clinton after the primaries are over? Did he not go out on a tour intended to show unity with other Democrats? On the other hand, Sanders doesn't take the same line you and that Cenk sellout do regarding Democratic party congressmen. Frankly, I think Bernie is as nervous about you guys as anybody.
That said, I can understand why he's not exactly on the top of party invite lists by Democratic leaders. Sanders pretty much threw them under the bus after the 2014 elections when the Democrats lost control of the Senate. Sanders got a boost though their support for his Citizen's United repeal and all he did in 2015 was tear Democratic party leadership down to position himself for the 2016 elections. That's politics though. It's not a game and Sanders was doing what he had to do to get noticed.
I don't have much complaint with berner criticisms of Clinton and her supporters like this:

It's truthful, spells out very well the differences between the generations that are behind her criticism and calls out Clinton's faction of the Democratic party for their own tone deaf and dismissive attitude of "anti-feminist Sanders supporters".
@abandonconflict absolutely hates Clinton. He gave his reasons.
@BearKat does too and said he couldn't vote for her also with good reason. Both gave truthful and honest reasons. I respect that. We don't have to agree on all things. What I respect is their use of truth and reason to explain their decision.
A very good string of replies from bearkat passionately yet thoughtfully explained his issues with Clinton.
Yep. Clinton did more to destroy the black community than Reagan ever did, and Reagan was fucked up. That's why I can not cast a vote for another Clinton.
No Hillary and No Trump for me. I've just recently started listening to Jill Stein, as I've frankly just recently learned of her existence. I actually voted Green Party in 1996 (Ralph Nader). Unless something changes dramatically, Hillary is going to win. She's just not going to win with my vote.
I live in Maryland. Hillary is going to win my state with or without my vote. For me personally though, my mindset would not change if I did live in a battle ground state. Bill Clinton's policies devastated the black community far worse than ANY republican in recent history. I could not look at myself in the mirror if I now voted for the woman who championed those very policies. People died fighting for my right to vote, and I take it very seriously.
The thread is now locked and I can't just post replies that contain links to his specific and well written reasoning. The thread begins towards the middle of this page.

Note the total lack of fake news in those statements by bearkat. Same is true about abandonconflict's reasons for despising Clinton and the Democratic Party and the staus quo, for that matter. Yet both see common ground with others. It's a sign of intelligence when a person can see others as complex and able to form different opinions based upon the same facts.
This is the crux of my disagreement with you, tty and Trump supporters. You base too many of your arguments on falsehoods. For example, the Democratic party is not against Universal Healthcare in the US. People who disagree can discuss differences but only if they use facts.
You asked AC why I was pounding so hard on you and
@ttystikk. I see privilege, racism, bias and contamination by propaganda and fake news. I documented everything. What was your response? I can't actually say because you didn't really respond. You complained.
Do you still think you are "expected to work harder because you are white"? Also male? If you can't recognize the privilege, racism and bias inherent in that post of yours from 3 years ago then I rest my case.
