Giving credence to the enormously bad-faith notion that Bernie is personally responsible for how his supporters engage online *will not* insulate him from attacks by opponents who want to weaponize this ridiculous logic. It will just embolden the opponentshttps://twitter.com/danielmarans/status/1099719222836510722 …

Corbyn has been inundated with similarly fallacious attacks for years, and no amount of silly placating concessions has been sufficient to stop them. It's a dead-end strategy. You either challenge the fundamental cynicism of the logic, or open yourself to further attack

Maybe it's not to pre-empt criticism. Maybe discouraging bullying and harassment is a reasonable message which everyone should heed?

Give me a break. You know as well as anyone that "bullying and harassment" are totally subjective concepts that routinely get twisted for cynical, opportunistic reasons. Especially in the context of online political debate, the terms have become completely meaningless.

Red flags indeed. He also has a foreign policy advisor dog whistling for intervention exhorting us to say "No Maduro".

Could just be a different angle on his part, figuring he could run better framework of a campaign. This is definitely a bad move though. Many referalls will come but people will still speak up against people outright slandering, which they will. He'll still be blamed.

It kind of feels like the DNC has managed to find a soft spot & is leveraging it to extract concessions from Sanders. (not core policy stuff luckily) First Russia collusion peddling, now Venezuela & bullying...

Frankly, he is too long in the tooth to be President. This will be one of the Socialist ‘symbolic’ votes, forwarding the cause inches at a time, every 4 years.

WHY oh why did Bernie choose Faiz Shakir as his campaign manager? The same man who tried to convince Bernie to drop out of the race in January, led the fake "Resistance" movement and considers John Podesta a mentor?!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07kT7nX0lgk&feature=share …

Politics is a nasty business, the best anyone can do is keep their own nose clean.

Bernie flipping on immigration last time around was a red flag, as was letting those two BLM activists hijack his mic.
