I did my fucking homework. I read through every single one of those 3000+ replies, and there is nothing in there that makes me question the validity of my claim. Bernie has a problem in his base and it needs to get addressed or it will hamper his election chances if he’s the nom.

We have almost the exact same political positions. We even have basically the same candidate preferences. We differ chiefly on how and why and when getting in fights online is useful online.

And I think this one is useful because the problem in Bernie’s camp is growing and this is a prime way to illustrate it. I want him to be the strongest possible candidate if he’s the nomination, but I’ve seen multiple people gloss over the shitty part of his base.

The main part where we differ is that I don't think telling people to go fuck themselves with a chainsaw on twitter has greater political implications, so I'm not concerned about random strangers. I'm just concerned about one person that I know and respect.

There are several reasons I said that: A) if you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know I’m not advocating for a literal purity pledge B) if you haven’t been following me, it’s easy enough to take ten seconds to browse my feed to see what I’m about

C) I’m angry at the world too, and I’m especially angry at people who are willing to watch fascists keep consolidating their power if they can’t have their cult leader in charge

Are the people yelling at you likely to convince you to change your behavior in any way?

I’ve had several productive conversations with edge cases that I believe have likely caused them to think a bit more about the problem, if that’s what you’re getting at.

Ah. So you're saying that telling people to go fuck thenselves is usually unproductive, but occasionally worth it because it does shake people out of their calcified mindset.

Yes. I did an event like 4-5 years ago where several former GGers came up to me and said that my article and tweets was what started them thinking about how maybe they weren’t looking at things the way they thought they were.

I’m not trying to convince the true believers, but each edge case that comes around is a net win for us all.
