Every time libs moan about Sanders, they mention "populism" and "the cult of personality".
As for their hate of populism, they really just fucking loathe poor people in general. And as for the cult of personality, they seem to ignore entirely that they built cults of personality around Obama, Hillary, RBG and now Joe Biden.
They absolutely hate the left more than they do fascists. If you lurk on r/politics, that's a good insight into how libs minds work. They spend so much time talking about "anti-Trump Republicans". These past 4 years, they have managed to make John McCain and Mitt Romney sound like heroes. Fucking JOHN BOLTON became one of their favorite people after he spoke out against Trump. Because they believe in the system and status quo, they want the other side to agree with them and reach across the aisle. They aren't obsessed with The West Wing for nothing. That show is how they wish government worked.
It also ties into how easily they whitewashed Bush. They were never angry about the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. Nor were they mad about how he handled hurricane Katrina (Louisiana is a RED STATE, fuck everyone who died and those of us who nearly drowned). Libs were just mad that it wasn't Team Blue doing those things.
Nah all of the stuff you're talking about is just internal DNC talking points. These folks just spend too much time watching MSNBC. It's all just political hackery devoid of beliefs, they want to win over former republican voters so they can't just shit on those people.
The reason DNC staffers hate Bernie is because he wasn't going to include them as insiders. Paul Krugman wrote about this after the nevada caucus among other related think pieces.
There are certainly some ideologue liberals out there, but those folks work for the cato institute and don't exist anywhere else in the broader realm of american politics.
Dems hate Sanders cause they hate the left.
