33. The old "we're no better than you" ploy?

Dec 2015

I'm obviously a Bernie supporter, but I've tried to temper my complaints about Hillary since I may have to vote for her in the general. I very much resent the implication that all Bernie supporters are horrible demons who must constantly be countered by saying things that are twice as bad and twice as untrue as whatever was said about Hillary that got their goat in the first place. This place is starting to sound like recess on the playground. If Hillary is the nominee, Hillary "supporters" will have contributed to any loss by alienating people not usually interested in politics who are now Bernie supporters. Dump on them now and you won't see them in November.
