    Of course you would say this about anybody that falls outside the lines of the Dem party establishment and calls them out.

    I would hope so, nobody should feel excluded in such a movement. I don’t how that was a protest, just made me want milk more. Pavlovian effect.

    While I agree that the method of protest (bum rushing Bernie tiddies out), was poor execution and likely counterproductive, I disagree that the idea of protesting the milk industry is crazy, the milk industry has some major problems that are worthy of activism... just smarter activism that doesn’t hurt their cause.

    You could see the utter disdain on Bernie's face.

    He's like... yo I spent 40 years in public service to one day get to this point and these chicks tryna hijack my campaign with milk and t***?

    Nope.

    Go get yourself a national platform. This movement is... MINE!

    These people are clueless. What do they want Bernie to do? Make banning dairy part of his campaign promise and then turn his chances of being elected president to 0%?

    Before you raid presidential campaigns for a idea that only will get like 3% of the population's approval, advocate for your idea with your own activism and discourse to bump that number up before you berated a presidential candidate.

    These people must hate cows because their actions make people have a stronger distaste for vegan activism.

    The funny thing is she states right off the bat that’s she’s his biggest supporter then proceeds to undermine him.

    Well then she is incapable of applying multiple steps in her logical reasoning because her sentiments in Bernie's platform would create zero percent chance of him even winning the primaries.

    If only he promised realistic things like Mexico paying for an ineffective wall along the entire length of the border. Nobody votes for people who promise unrealistic things.

    Close but not quite. What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter whether or not Sanders is making promises he can't deliver because voters support promising things that can't be granted and some continue to support Presidents who have been shown to not keep their promises.

    So people who wanted to tear down the old ideas of holding politicians accountable for breaking their word and not following through on promises have gotten their wish. Those ideas are now gone. Griping about Sanders making promises he won't be able to keep simply shows that you are clinging to the old ways. Trump has erased those ways. He really served those that wanted him to erase the old political traditions.
