Whoever wrote this clearly has an anti-Sanders ax to grind. There was nothing wrong with his statement. It's written for an immediate reaction and not a conversation on substance.

This 'Hot Take' format driven by short attention social media needs to be thrown out completely. I personally think it ends up hurting proclaimed "progressives" more than they're willing to admit. When your platform is dependent on good-faith conversation and critical thinking on gathered information, progress stalls everytime one enables this sort of discourse. Id even argue it helps what America currently calls the conservative movement because its built on low effort emotional content.
