what you're saying is.. Bernie's only interested in hearing from people who already agree him. Way to expand the party!

It means that this kind of "advice" is being offered on false pretenses

You're attacking the messenger instead of grappling with the message.

I'm discerning that the message is being given in bad faith.

How about making an argument what is wrong with the advice instead of baselessly impugning motives?

so I shld ignore yr oped on closed primaries bc it flacks for Bern? Or should I read in case I might learn something?

The answer is, I should read it! Because when I did, I learned something (even though I disagreed)

I'm happy to admit that I voted for Bernie in the NY primary, in the interest of transparency.
