(25,517 posts)Why would you say "I know you think that those who are not with Sen. Sanders are haters." I've certainly never said, or even thought, such a thing!
OBVIOUSLY, there are legitimate points of disagreement people can have with Bernie - hell, ANY politician! - as you yourself raise... so, why, when you raise legitimate points of disagreement, do you also have to resort to gross distortions by speaking for ME, and misrepresenting my positions, by saying I think those against Bernie are haters?
This is not the first, second, or third time you've put words in my mouth... why do you keep doing this?! I don't get it. Please stop doing that... it makes it very difficult to engage with you in honest debate - and I very much respect your opinion here on DU and can appreciate what you have to say - but, when you start telling me what I THINK and, indeed, MISCHARACTERING what I believe, I don't see how such debate is possible.
OF COURSE , there can be honest disagreement without being a hater... just like there can be petty criticisms - like of Bernie pointing for cripes sake!!! - which makes those bashers look silly.
To conflate that with suggesting that I view those who do not support Bernie as "haters" is ridiculous and you know it. Again, I've never said such a thing, so, PLEASE, I'm beggng you, don't speak for me.
Thank you.
