How the reader concludes it is their own projection. Two different things.

What I find scary is the willingness to be okay with things she has done.

For example, the outrageous fees she gets for one speech. They all seem, like us, to edify Jimmy Carter. Well, he took speaking engagements for the price of $50k if the source is correct. He donated the fee to a real charity that has done tangible work.

Can they not see the difference? I am sure they can. But they can dismiss the difference because they want her to win.

There are things that Bernie has done or stands for that I am not behind. I just think he is for the most important items on my checklist and he has a moral compass.

7. Both sides talk smack

I don't know what the statistics are, but I see examples of such all the time. It does Sanders supporters no good to pretend otherwise.

I personally have tried to ignore the smack, but I'll admit to getting drawn into it too. That's why I trashed GD P and the HRC room. When I do bother to look at or post in GD P I usually regret it. Even LBN gets bad.

Fracking?
More war <cackle>?
War on drugs/private prisons -designed to funnel young black men through the penal system to generate corporate profits?
Good buddies with the original neo-con, Henry Kissinger?

There's also the problem of Hillarys constant flip-flopping...are they defending shot-em-up, gun toting Hillary; or the all guns bad Hillary? It's like trying to make a painting of a Chameleon.

So, faced with these impossible odds, all they got is "Bernie Bros so mean". A pathetic attempt to defend a weak candidate.

fallacies to distract from the real issues. A big issue for me with Hillary is her praise for Kissinger during the debate. She praised him for teaching her the ropes of foreign policy. This is a man who should be tried in The Hague for killing heads of state and staging coups in other countries as part of his foreign policy. Is this the foreign policy she will follow as President of the Unted States? I shudder to think of it.
