Am I looking at this correctly?

[SHRED]

It seems to me, overall, (with exceptions of course) that we Sanders supporters go after legitimate policy concerns regarding Hillary.
Her coziness with Wall St, what she did as Secretary of State with Libya and promoting fracking world wide, her relationship with the likes of Kissinger, etc.

What seems to me is that rather than focus on issues the Hillary camp goes after us instead.

I think the conservative wing of our party (and from elsewhere?) is purposefully attacking us Sanders supporters to deflect from those issues and to blame us like they try with Nader (even though Gore won Florida in the recount).

And the attacks on Bernie himself are filled with half truths, omissions, and borderline lies.


Yeah, I'm for Bernie. He's my choice so maybe I'm skewed here but that's how I'm seeing this here and elsewhere.

We attack the issues and they attack us Bernie supporters instead.

1. When your candidate has no new ideas to give what choice do they have but to attack us?

2. Absolutely. My favorite is the 'socialist' term and I would like to refer

them all to a phone book and tell them to look at the 'Blue Pages'. Any services that are privatized are doomed to fail.

3. You have a handel on it. When all you have is lies all you can do is divert.

4. they got nothing

that's clear

5. I totally agree, and I have been thinking about this a lot.

6. Today I was told

...that I was a Berniebot and that I drank the kool-aid by someone who has been a friend for 9 years.

I have never used those types of terms when speaking about Hillary. I find it a bit disheartening that people cannot separate friendship from politics.

7. I think they do this...

...name calling for two purposes.

1. We can't think for ourselves and are duped.
2. Therefore Bernie is a hustler who has fooled us.

It's a sick way to go after us and our candidate.

Fuck 'um.

GO BERNIE!!!

13. I completely agree. Plus it's all right wing lies, lies, LIES!!!!!!!

8. Since she is

Pretty low she needs to attempt to bring him down to her level, her trying to get UP to his level is way to steep a climb for her..

[djean111]

9. Yep.

Really, there is nothing they can say about Hillary OR Bernie that would induce me to support a candidate who is for war and fracking and the TPP. Nothing. To them, it seems, issues are just not that important.

[Rebkeh]

10. Accuse your opponent of doing what you are about to do to them

It's revolting and I remember democrats screaming about how unethical the tactic was when Bush, et al were doing it. The hypocrisy is glaring.

And yes, if you can't attack legitimately, make something up.

It's standard, and is why Bernie is such a breath of fresh air.

11. They play dirty

[mhatrw]

12. Just today I have seen: He doesn't know how to ride the NYC subway, he hasn't released his taxes,

he lied about having released his taxes, he lied about the number of people at his rally, Congresspeople hate him, he hates being charitable, he's a looney friend of moonbat Tim Robbins, he has a 401K and that makes him a rank hypocrite, he's a looney friend of moonbat Nina Turner, his campaign is totally delusional, he won't listen to his advisors, his supporters are sexist, his supporters put Dubya in office, he wants to overturn the will of the voters, he's just like Trump, his supporters are mean to poor superdelegates, ...

Not one thread about issues. Not one thread about anything of substance. Just a steady parade of desperate personal attack after desperate person attack.

[SHRED]

14. that appears to be their "issues".
