2. Biden said something like that. Sanders' response

Was as described above. And I think he was saying that to get people out in the general election, the campaign needed to be exciting.

3. Bernie has pulled the party leftward and enlarged the Overton window. He has made a

6. Not sure everyone would agree with this, or that getting people to talk

About something constitutes much of an accomplishment from someone who for years has been in a position to build coalitions and get things done. I understand why you like him and respect what you see him as doing, but I think it is unfair to characterize legitimate criticism of him as disrespect.
