I've found value in following your account, but your inability to see the behavior of the average Bernie supporter and acknowledge there's a problem is the reason I'm unfollowing. I'm not mad, not blocking, just unfollowing.
What people are telling me - and I mean this with all seriousness - is that if someone misstates facts or even tells an outright lie about something I've done, and they do so publicly, and repeatedly, that it is best for me to simply let it stand. That's a bitter pill to swallowhttps://twitter.com/ZerlinaMaxwell/status/1102592244601835520 …
Hey #pettwitter can y’all help a sister out? The Bernie pile on generated by Shaun King and the intercept folks is going to make today even more difficult than a normal day where I can’t talk to my mom post-stroke. Now they are meming my face

I feel like I'm an average Bernie supporter, for years now and I consider myself very nice. I've met so many other supporters, even invited to stay in their homes when traveling. I'm saddened that the loudest are how we are labeled.

I agree. It's unfortunate, but they're enabled if they aren't shouted down, and Shaun refuses to admit they exist. I'm not saying there all like that. I voted for Bernie in the primary and my wife worked in his office once. But harassment by any group is unacceptable.

She lied. She was wrong. There are no words for HER behavior.

Then don't swallow it. Politely point out the absurdity of their position and resume speaking truth to "power".

She has no integrity if she cannot admit she lied and apologize.

And Zerlina corrected the record, but has been dealing with really ugly online harassment ever since. Though you’ve only responded once, the
#Bernie2020 crowd has been relentless. -
Bernie, and his influencers, need to make it clear that it’s not okay. If not, his persona will be tarnished by those who speak for him, here and elsewhere.
-
He could be a saint, but if his followers are an unruly mob, that will eventually come back to him. It’s why so many of us dreaded his campaign.

I’m not telling you that. I won’t attack, but I will respectfully defend.

I've been watching this unfold and can't help but think that there has to be a way to end this cycle. It's sad to see two otherwise-seemingly-nice people internet boxing, with the peanut gallery (hi!) watching along. It sucks. Have either of you tried for a private outreach

Look at the language she uses: "pile on", it implies harassment without actually alleging it, because a lot of people were replying to her saying she was wrong and moving goalposts
