Considering the union is a free to decide who to support, wouldn't you consider this to be harassment?
These were the 'attacks' & 'threats'.

You wrongly inferred that I said she was riding high in the polls. She started slipping after M4A, she tanked when she chose the wrong flank to defend. Distancing herself from Bernie would include her inability to acknowledge that a reasonable funding mechanism fro M4A has to include a tax increase.
Edit: Actually, now on checking RCP she slips in october which lines perfectly with the Bernie's back rally. The next big dip is the November debate. Then it's just a steady decline as Pete and Bernie rise.

Harassment doesn't mean people noticing your corruption.
Nah, it's a sign that they see Bernie as the leader. At this stage you throw everything at him to drag him down. It will also drag his opponents down in the polls, but it's a calculated risk that's taken.
Hillary did it to Obama. Bernie did it to Hillary.
That this happened so EARLY, shows how shook they are and how tough funding might be for them. That's the danger of a candidate like Bloomberg. He has none of those limitations.

Your honor, I was merely capping.
People are free to support & people are free to criticize, Bernie, Pete fans & etc get shyt thrown at them all the time, social media in general is filled with snipes..why would you escalate that kind of discussion to 'threats' & 'harassment' for any reason other than arguing in bad faith?

I think you could argue that it's "harassment" but the initial tweet I saw from them complained about being "viciously attacked." If this is what they were referring to, then calling it a vicious attack is a bit of a joke. Maybe I am missing some other thing(s) that happened here.

I completely agree with that. But the addition I'd add is they see an opportunity to look more friendly to the union and try and garner some support.
What do you call getting you inbox and social media filled with messages that you are corrupt, and get hundreds of calls a day of people calling you and telling you the same?
Exactly, there's nothing to lose.
Exactly. Bernie's performance in the first two states is proof positive the revolution is imminent. Why waste time and energy chasing the endorsements of Hillary-lite pols and corrupt unions that will water down the movement? Better to focus on the 100 million non-voters from 2016 and getting them on board.

Agreed that the attack line is contrived. But being called corrupt and incompetent, unless it's true(and even if it is sometimes) will lead to hyperbole.

Yeah, it's a strategic play that everyone would be dumb not to make. The "it's coordinated" part is a combination of how fast everyone jumped on it and the similarity of the language they used. I don't think it had to be coordinated for that to happen but I just want to highlight where it comes from for those wondering.
