.@SherriMNichols Yep. That's why I tried not to write about Sanders, or his campaign, but what the movement that carried him means/portends.

I'm not writing a defense of Sanders' campaign—I don't think the top leadership understood how to run this kind of campaign.

But you have an eye-popping trend; almost all youth of all genders and races going for a 74-year old "democratic socialist"

That is a huge, huge story. Sanders campaign missteps—also big story. Online spats? Maybe one or two stories, not much more.

the attitude of the online spats limited the growth of movement. Turned off lots of women otherwise Bernie friendly.

Yep, that's on the Sanders campaign. I don't think they knew how to handle a movement campaign. I mean, he was so unlikely.

perhaps why I feel it was a bigger deal than you. Also, I’m in the demo being attacked: 50ish women already active politically.

Online harrasment is a big deal. My point is that it really takes very few to carry it out.

And at times, bizarre groups and outsiders join harassment campaigns just for the "lulz." It's a thorny problem.

they could be relentless in mansplaining. I had them seek me out at caucuses. 1st thing we teach in campaigns, don’t do that.

It's not just mansplaining. It's how movement youth tend to be--convinced they are 100% right if only you listen.

A smart campaign takes that energy of youth and teaches people how to campaign. Sanders missed that part.
