I remember that one time when his co-panelist on the Bill Maher Show got completely fed up with having her personal space invaded with rude gesticulations and she "fought back". I'm sure there's a better choice of words to describe it... it wasn't an actual "fight"... but in her own passive aggressive way she gently pushed back and away... to protect her own eyesight and as a way to unmistakably indicate "this is NOT okay" and "you're being rude to me" and "you need to stop".
I can't even remember who the panelist was, but I'll never forget how she stood up for herself in that moment... she had had all she was willing to take.

Bernie has only ever identified as a Democrat during a primary, while campaigning. Never as a Sen.

Rather, one needs to ask why he sometimes identifies as a D, although never while on the job.

And how did BS reward him for that campaign stop? He called for Obama to be primaried in 2012.

No he didn't, and no he didn't. He was embarrassed and "joked" to dismiss his behavior.

He was humiliated into half-heartedly saying "sorry", and then he shoved her!

Walking lockstep and quashing any dissent makes for a very dynamic and strong protest.

That's clearly the message, isn't it? Yet another backhanded insult and smear of Democrats.

Perhaps, they think that like they believe of Bernie, they are 'better than a Democrat."
