2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWho's on the defensive?
I've been feverishly writing responses to posts related to non-existent issues. I've had to step back take a breath and just laugh at myself for getting caught in the silliness of it all.
1. Bernie is now a racist for using the word ghetto.
2. Bernie was against the auto bailout.
3. What will happen to gas prices if fracking is stopped?
4. Bernie said "Excuse me. I was talking."
I just stepped back and realized all of this, all of this, is deflection from Clinton actually addressing issues. I admire her supporters for using the tactics of obfuscation, deflection and mischracterization, and it does indeed put Sanders supporters in a frenzy to jump in and defend their candidate, but don't fall for these tactics. Don't get worked up and crazy over the silliness of this.
There's one candidate who is indebted to large corporations this campaign and one who is not.
There's one candidate who is willing to take on those corporations and fight for universal single payer health care and a higher wage and a conservative approach to getting involved in foreign military wars, and one who is not.
So when the nonsense starts, shake your head, take a breath, and ask yourself, is this nonsense or not.
If it's nonsense, let it drift down to the bottom of the discussion thread and enjoy the day.
