38. No, I don't think it is too harsh.

I think it is a specific strategy by the Sanders campaign.
Populists have to have a 'them' for their supporters to hate.

They are anti-elite (whatever the hell that is).
They are anti-the democratic establishment (whatever the hell that is)
They are anti-centrist voters (whatever the hell that is)
They are anti-press unless the press is fawning.
Today they are anti-california's voting system which BTW has 4 different processes in place to assure that voters can get the right ballot to vote.

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