Culinary Workers Union Local 226, an affiliate of Unite Here, said it was "disappointed and offended" by what it suggested was an unethical move by the Vermont

I find it a bit ridiculous you're blaming Bernie for the Bernie bros. The other stuff comes down to organizational mishandling that you could blame Bernie's leadership, however, he isn't like the Clintons with decades of national campaign experience and network of organizers of this scale who shepherd their flock with an iron fist. If this 'lack of control' on Bernie's part is attributive to his leadership for you, I don't know what to say. Bernie's campaign have done their best to address these issues with transparency and accountability as opposed to Hillary who triangulates to where the wind blows and uses her corporate connections to bribe the media to write Bernie htitpieces

I don't see it being the first national campaign as some sort of excuse. There's not a learning curve as president. I remember in 2008 with Obama, it may have been his first national campaign but he shut any going off message with a quickness--he fired Samantha Power from his campaign for calling Clinton a monster even though they were old friends

But didn't he fire the polling data shithead almost instantly? And I see the heads of his campaign admonishing the Berniebros and publicly address the other stuff. That mike director dude even defended the hillary campaign lead who was getting harassment on Twitter. What else should they do other than address it with transparency? I don't see them behaving unreasonably when this sort of stuff pops up

Obama never claimed to be anything but a centrist though. The problem in Obama not knowing how to handle republicans can be laid on only one thing, the fact that no matter what he did, the republicans were going to oppose him

if this is true, that was a stupid move on their part. Although I thought I saw somewhere that the campaign and the union have since resolved this dispute. But I cant find that article now
