"No Thanks, Bernie: Virginia Abortion Rights Advocates Know Better" (Title)

9. I cannot account for the conclusions at which you arrive. Your accusations appear to be based...

... more on your personal emotions than on demonstrable data.

6. SO is the goal to attack Sanders and refrain from attacking "real Democrats"

I doubt it. One's motive or criteria will likely vary from person to person. I think it's fair to say that these things are difficult to ascertain with great certainty, unless one is a mind-reader.

I can only suggest that perhaps the politician's "popularity" and "clout" and "position" influence such things.

Also, it could be based on the politician's overall "visibility" and how often politicians appear on news programs for quickie-interviews or in-depth interviews. It's quite reasonable to conclude that high-visibility politicians are more likely to be targets of valid criticism (the same way that they're likely to be "darlings" of their fan-base.)

Another thing to consider may be that it's related to the breadth and depth of a politician's "outreach".

Frankly, I think that the options and possibilities I've offered are much more logical and make much more sense than ones that are based on emotion or adoration. But, that's just my opinion. Your opinion is different, obviously. I've just offered mine as something for you to consider. You may accept it or reject is, as I've done with yours.
