He seems amazed that even Bernie supporters who completely disagree with him on policy engage him in positive and respectful ways.

Having observed US politics for some time now as an outsider, I would say that there is much much more of a "war" mentality among Republicans. For quite a while now a lot of right-wing outlets have deliberately cultivated an aggressive and partisan mentality among their followers. Anything is viewed as justifiable as long as their 'side' wins. That's very much not the case among democrats, not on the same scale, not even close."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
