(80,708 posts)I've seen countless threads throwing all kinds of poop at "Sanders Supporters"- who, apparently, are all libertarian, volvo-driving, fedora wearing, racist, misogynist, hateful, mac-using, purple shirt wearing "bros" who somehow manage to be in love with Ayn Rand and Hugo Chavez at the same time.
People do a lot of criticizing of Hillary Clinton here- some of it, probably, not fair - but guess what? She's the candidate. And frankly, one of her selling points all along has been that she is battle-tested and can withstand the winds of DC politics.
Part of the brain-numbing pathos of this place is that a cadre of Hill Folk have decided that running against "Sanders Supporters" is the way to win- okay, maybe not win, but at the very least piss a few of them off enough to get hides on DU, tee-hee tee-hee lol high five lol
I'm voting for the nominee, I was always gonna vote for the nominee, nothing said here would change that. But fuck a duck if some of the HRC people aren't over the top in their obnoxiousness. Being 'outnumbered' here isn't an excuse.
