A MESSAGE TO MY FELLOW BERNIE SUPPORTERS

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Bobbie Jo (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

I have noticed that there has been an increase in anti-Bernie posts lately, and wow! THEY ARE REALLY REACHING!! Everything from snubbing his wife, to Susan Sarandon, to Bernie's tone (I really had to laugh at that one - especially since no has been able to find a single Bernie commercial yet where Hillary is even mentioned), to FEC accusations from that honorable man, David Brock. You get the drift. They got nothin' so they are trying to hammer him with bullshit.

Here's my plea - don't respond to them.

The majority of Clinton supporters on this website behave well and truly believe they are supporting the better candidate. However, there are a handful of very vocal Hillary supporters who wanna fight. We all know who they are by now - it really is about 6-10 people with about 3-4 of them leading the charge. They love to demonize Sanders and those who support him, and they continue to spread this crap. Typically, they have multiple negative posts about Bernie in GD: P at all times. They goad us in the comment section, and I, personally, have found it best not to engage. If you do, you're just drawing more attention to their bullshit.

Please let it go. It's like feeding trolls. We don't feed trolls, and we shouldn't feed the nasty Bernie posts. Let 'em drop. If you want to write a rebuttal regarding their accusations, do so in your own post.

There. I'm done.



Thanks for listening to my rant and have a nice day.

that one certain person seems to be in love with.
I wasn't aware that things like public highways, libraries, infrastructure, schools and public parks were awful things.
God bless them them though, they are truly special.

Their attacks this week have been nonsensical and frankly, pretty hard to distinguish from Republican-style attacks.
