46. Have noticed some trends showing those who dislike a candidate often accused of bashing

If I dislike something and state the fact that I dislike it, I am not bashing. Seems fair to grant acceptance of that freedom to others.

So far, I have been engaged in discussion on other candidates, but have watched a lot of bashing of anyone who is in the least critical of HRC, whether the posters have actually bashed her or not.

It is an interesting phenomenon. Rather like, 'yer with us or with the.....(insert group speaker wishes to use to stereotype & denigrate)

It is not a tactic that serves discussion in a democracy.
