It's obvious that Bernie's instincts towards the opposition are far healthier than the rest of the left who are only interested in silencing and purging the other side. Still, it's hard to imagine him bridging any sort of divide unless he's magically able to get the rest of the left to talk to their opponents and concede they have a right to a seat at the table. They can't even do that for other leftists who stray even a tiny bit from the party line. The TERF/tranny wars are incredibly typical of how leftists treat dissent within their own camp. As someone who considered myself a moderate leftist for a long time I actually found it easier to converse across the isle than with my own side for this reason. It says a lot about the left's mentality that my former leftist self found the GG community, including the right wing members of the movement, far more welcoming than the "tolerant and inclusive" communities run by own side.
