The agreements – first reported by the Washington Post and confirmed by Fox News – call on Sanders delegates to “Refrain from making negative statements about other candidates, party leaders, Campaigns, Campaign staffers, supporters, news organizations or journalists. This Campaign is about the issues and finding solutions to America’s problems. Our job is to differentiate the senator from his opponents on the issues — not through personal attacks.”
Another of the 10 rules listed in the document states: “Do your best to avoid online arguments or confrontations. ... If engaging in an adversarial conversation, be respectful when addressing opposing viewpoints or commenting on the opposition.”
And the agreement states that “If a member of the media contacts you about a posting of any kind: do not respond.” Instead, it directs them to contact the Sanders press team.
The document states that “failure to comply with these expectations may result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to your removal from the delegation.”
The agreements were sent to some Sanders delegates across the country last week.
“When delegates attend the Democratic convention, they will be representing Sen. Sanders, the ideas he ran on and the millions of working people who supported his campaign. That is a serious responsibility and we're asking them to follow a basic code of conduct while carrying out that duty,” campaign spokesman Mike Casca said
“Threatening to remove as people as delegates because of a Facebook post,” a delegate said. “It’s ridiculous.”
The delegate, who asked for anonymity, stressed that the agreement “was poorly crafted and goes against the grain.”
Boy one spring of authoritarian rule and the left just can't get enough

I'm hearing the Bernie Bros complain about a tyranny of the majority...

Try being a Rat with our candidate roster, thinking you can do what you want to, then pop off.

I respect Bernie and supported him in 2016 and 2020. But he's weak as fuck.

that Somebody can get as far as he did in Public life with a speech impediment? Or get rich well into his 70’s with no job?

I respect Bernie for being able to know how to organize and run the entire economy, including the health care industry and the energy business and all of finance, despite the fact that he has never run a business nor held a job outside of working for the Government.doogie said:that Somebody can get as far as he did in Public life with a speech impediment?
