2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI would hope we can agree that both sides have overzealous supporters who do nasty shit ...
... that is not authorized by their candidate.
But as far as I've been able to determine, only one campaign is paying people to do dirty shit.

(10,493 posts)like to troll. You can tell by the ones who only post negative attacks and hi-jack threads. The rest of us need to try to stick to political debate instead of childish smears and snarky remarks. It is not always easy, don't I know, but it can be done. We have a good thing going here, let's work to keep it that way. You don't change minds by being ugly!

(3,433 posts)But I agree with your message. I do my best to not get sucked into the black hole of misery but sometimes it isnt that easy. What I find truly infuriating is the use of tactics and rhetoric that is typical of the right wing. Under normal circumstances the reaction here would be immediate outrage and condemnation. It is the lack of consistency and intellectual dishonesty that I absolutely loath.
