I have been "upset" over equal human rights for all humans since at least high school. I have never excused anything less than that because I happened to like a politician on other grounds.

Broad brush smears of any group? Never right.

However, what about Hillary supporters who excused not standing firm for equal human rights until their favorite politician did? I would bet my DU password that there are quite a few of them, yet the OP singles out Bernie's supporters. So, to me, it's more of a petty partisan shot at Bernie's supporters than it is an equal rights statement.

However, my point was not about DU history but that the OP failed to articulate it comprehensibly.
