We both agree that this is almost meaningless since Mitch McConnell is irrational and incapable of making a good deal for the US. I would hope that other Bernie supporters understand that before trashing anyone who doesn't want to implement Bernie's full agenda. 

I like to think of myself as a pragmatic radical :).

I am very annoyed with Bernie supporters who disparage other candidates and their supporters on a personal basis (Calling Pete a rat or Liz a snake) [I can't guarantee I maintain this rule for Trump haha]. But I think us pragmatists are more common among Bernie's ranks than the media is interested in acknowledging.
