....was about Sanders STAFFERS, who include "informally" Matt Orfalea, the man who was hired and then fired the next day for a sleazy and obscene video using MLK's "I have a dream" speech as the theme.

But he's still churning out venom against Biden and Jane Sanders has praised such efforts more than once.

That you take the comments about Orfalea and OTHER high up staffers like Gray and Sirota as "generalizations about entire groups of people" is a bit extreme. The fact remains that those three, even after Sanders has nominally suspended his campaign, are still running rampant on Twitter. In fact Gray has even stepped it up today.

As far as those three are concerned, I know that I DO NOT share their values, and from the reactions here in DU many others don't, either.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

that is not what was claimed. sorry, and now you claim he is 'working' for them, as opposed to Celerity Apr 2020 #25
