"And I am the one in my circle who is known to not care much for the Clinton's, but around here it is like I am a cheerleader for them compared to some of the shit I read here."Kinda hard not to notice the utter savagery toward HRC. It's gotten pretty nasty around here lately. Some complain about similar hostilities voiced toward Bernie Sanders but I sure haven't seen much of that, AT ALL. Seriously, there's no comparison! The criticism of Hillary Clinton around here just rains down, nonstop, as though it were round-the-clock, years-long monsoon season. It's probably because Hillary supporters are vastly outnumbered here. Bernie Sanders definitely rules the DU.
And evidently others have noticed the same thing - elsewhere beyond just DU:

On the flip side, I bet Hillary isn't too happy about this turn of events:

It was off topic, as was the post you responded to. This is about Clinton's Tax Returns.

There we are. This is the republican class-warfare argument. We're just jealous of the rich.
