"we need to succeed" does not imply previous failure or success. You're assuming it implies failure. That's a choice of translation that you're making and I disagree with it.
It does when the current argument of the other side is that the protests. Bernie is not saying that there is no violencde but we should look out for it. He is explicitly denouncing violence playing right into the accusations.
I understand that you're concerned about the optics. But the people who think there's violence wont listen to Bernie anyway. That was a message for us.
The average Benie fan these days is the generic Liberal.
