If you thought everyone who disagreed with you was either ignorant or bought, you'd be obnoxious too
(Sanders' celebrity surrogate) Tim Robbins' nutty conspiracy mongering starts to seem sensible if you place yourself in the mindset of a Sanders supporter, as laid out by Sanders himself.
Remember, Sanders believes that if voters were truly paying attention to the issues and uninfluenced by special interests, then more than 90% of people would support his agenda.
If that is really true, then there can be only three possible reasons Sanders is losing: Voters are ignorant, they've been bought off, or they actually are voting for him and the machines are rigged. If you honestly believed that, then why wouldn't you approach Sanders' opponents as ignorant and corrupt?
It's common for Sanders supporters to accuse politicians and reporters of being bought off. The remarkable thing here is that Robbins is lobbing these accusations at individual voters. It might seem odd that Clinton allies would bother paying off a Twitter user with just 46 followers — but then, choosing to oppose Bernie Sanders is so weird that it's hard to understand how else it would happen.
The third mode of Sanders supporter engagement with disagreement is condescension: If you weren't paid off and your vote wasn't stolen from you, then maybe you're just too ill-informed to realize Sanders is the candidate you actually want.
If Robbins and other Sanders supporters want to be less insufferable in the future, then they might consider that sometimes candidates lose because voters disagree with them on issues — or don't think they're the most capable candidates for the job.
Just putting it out there.

Do you think we do not have an excessive concentration of wealth and power, and a trend towards monopolies?
Do you think climate change is a hoax, or an issue maybe we'll have to deal with sometime in the distant future?
Perhaps it's a good thing that we are losing so many factories and service operations to outsourcing abroad?
Think the Iraq War was a rip roaring success?
Hey, if you think Clinton has better solutions or something, fine. That's horseracing. But do you really think these and otehr trends and events are not problems? Maybe we shouldn't believe our lying eyes. 
You can't wish a movement into being. The Bern and his "Band of Brothers" just can't seem to get Airship Sanders up to take-off speed.
And, another one bites the dust...
