(248 posts)1. The media, although complicit in ignoring and dismissing Bernie Sanders at almost every opportunity, has no great love of Hillary either. While they no doubt would prefer her to Bernie as president, they were absolutely gleeful in hyping up the Benghazi and email "scandals" that most people didn't care too much about. The media would turn on Hillary in a second if it helped their bottom line.
2. We, as Bernie supporters, need to be better than this. I respect Hillary enough to know she is an accomplished politician, even if I disagree with how she has run her campaign and her "evolving" on certain issues. Pulling stuff from right wing sources does our cause no good and turns people off.
3. This is just my personal viewpoint. Once the election is over and all the dust settles, I want to be able to say that I handled this election season with good grace and didn't debase myself. Because we are all gonna have to deal with each other in one way or another when this is all over.
That being said, I will get off of my high horse now.
