every single mean tweet sent by a supporter of bernie sanders would be, combined, less than a tenth of one percent as offensive and outrageous as a single person dying for lack of health insurance

And yet mean tweets can make a difference in the election. Why risk costing Bernie votes just because it feels good to dunk on moderates?

If Bernie loses to Trump because his supporters got too self-righteous to try to reach moderates then I definitely will.

Yes because in 2016 Trump's online supporters were extremely respectful and open minded, clearly that won him the presidency.

He was running as a Republican, he didn't have decent, offenable voters to LOSE.

If they're capable of voting for Trump, they're none of those things.

that's kinda my point. bernie losing to trump because of moderates is a non-issue to me, if you're capable of voting trump, you cannot consider yourself a moderate in the first place.

What's much more likely than people jumping to vote for Trump is people simply becoming discouraged and disconnected and not bothering to vote This is something Bernie people justifiably bring up ALL THE TIME - the issue is voter turnout and enthusiasm

And yes, going negative boosts enthusiasm and turnout among your core supporters, which is why people do it, but it also obviously and inevitably turns off people further on the edges
