I fail to understand why people with a decent investment in SteemIt would go and start $#!t with ANYBODY who could destroy them with a single vote. I'm shaking my head. My mom told me not to touch the fire on the stove when I was 3. Of course, I didn't listen to her back then - because I was 3. I'm not 3 any more, and neither are you. You should know by now, "If you mess with the bull, you get the horns." So you messed with the bull, got the horns. Quit crying about it - it's hurting everyone's ears.
I have no idea about @berniesanders and I've been around SteemIt for 9 months. I know it's not wise to cross him. And, I do know this: I'm not in any position to be telling whales how they should or shouldn't be using their investment in this platform. Please take this comment in the spirit is intended and exercise more common sense in the future. I gave you an upvote.
