(42,862 posts)Although it may not be a word that is as flattering as you'd like, it's actually very tame compared to the various other things I've seen used to describe both candidates and their fans.
Namely the ones ending in "-bots" or "-istas" or "-bros" or "-ites". Of course, there are other variations, and you've probably seen them applied to both candidates, but I'm sure you get the idea.
I'm not entirely certain why this particular thing rises to the top in your list of priorities of important things to worry about.
If it's now your mission in life to cleanse this web site of things you view as being offensive or disparaging, then you're likely to be very busy.
I'll probably take more seriously your efforts when I see you wagging your digital finger at other Bernie fans and when you find success at changing the behavior of those who are guilty of far worse things when describing Hillary or her fans.
