So yes, it is your party.
And people are getting tired of these smears. To the point that it is now worthy of a news story. Between #berniemademewhite and a few others...yes, people are pissed. So yes, it will cost you votes in November
I don't expect it to stop, but the smears will cost in voter enthusiasm in November. Sow the wind and all that. These days we can check, the OP is at the very least misleading. I strike it as a lie stop it
