      Not one voter in a hundred could tell you if Chapo Trap House is a man or a horse. Bernie and Biden are both popular among Democratic voters. The primary electorate consolidated around Biden largely on electability concerns -- Bernie's failure was not addressing these concerns.

      No, there are a not negligible number that have concerns about how Bernie supporters conduct themselves, mostly on line, and it is traceable to that particular faction.

      If they are people like this, they are very silly since there is no objective non-anecdotal evidence Sanders supporters are worse on online than anyone else.

      To start, the issue is not all Sanders supporters, but a particular faction of them. There is a world of difference, a virtual chasm, between how an AOC conducts herself and the toxicity of the ‘dirtbag left.’ 1/

      People remember the bad experiences — it is like the one teacher who humiliated you in front of the class — and telling them it is not real is like the Richard Pryor line: who are you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes? /2

      Moreover, the research you are no doubt relying upon — as it is called out now every time someone raises the issue — which talks about generally negative and positive tweets does not address the nature and intensity of the negativity. 3/

      Well, if we're going to argue anecdotally rather than rely on what social scientist have measured, I'll just say that in my experience the dirtbag left seems much less intensely negative than many other factions on twitter.

      Sorry, Jeet, but invoking Social Science in the form of a graduate student paper that wasn’t even published in a peer reviewed journal doesn’t exactly settle the issue for someone who has lived through two decades of ideologically motivated “education research.”

      Whatever its flaws, that's the only systematic study into this. Everything else is anecdotal. And in a hotly contested race, one should be skeptical of anecdotes about the particular perniciousness of one side.

          You are misunderstanding or misrepresenting a critique of what a faction of Bernie supporters have done on line, for a criticism of all Bernie supporters, a number of whom are my closest friends and comrades. The campaign made a critical mistake when it ignored AOC’s advice.

          The fact that a faction of Sanders supporters are rude online is true but banal. So are a faction of Warren supporters, Harris supporters, Biden supporters, etc. Lots of people are rude on line. Trust me on this, since I get it from supporters of all the candidates.
