2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Peacelover Hillary voted for an insane war that killed hundreds of thousands, but Bernie [View all]DanTex
(20,709 posts)103. Bernie's no more of a gun humper than Hillary is a warmonger.
They both made some bad votes in the past, but I agree, rhetoric like that is excessive.
Now, as for this:
Look, if the only way to make your preferred candidate seem palatable is to make up insane nonsense about their competition...
That might be the single most hilariously hypocritical thing that a Hillary-basher has posted on this board. And that's a seriously high bar.
