What does it say that mild criticism of HRC is met with great vengeance and furious anger?

I think it says that members of this board have different opinions on what they want to see in a candidate for POTUS.

New Democrats seem to like Hillary.

Old school liberal democrats seem to like Bernie.

This is primary season on a political forum. People will argue for their candidate of choice.

My children for now are divided.

My son kind of backs Hillary. My daughter is Bernie all the way.

My grandchildren (2 of 3 who can vote) are straight up Bernie.

Her fan club is obviously getting desperate, and wants Sanders to go away since his mere existence in the primary highlights Hillarys corporatism and warmongering.

Not to mention the whole racist tactics. Who was involved in the Civil Rights movement? Who was involved with the racist, Goldwater?

I'm not saying that Hillary hasn't learned from her past mistakes.

I am saying that Bernie Sanders has been consistent his whole life.

He believes that all of humanity should have the same rights. He does not have to make special statements for various races, genders, or sexual orientation.

and furious anger in the respective groups. Not just the HRC group. Troubling because uncritical adoration of any candidate/politician is bound to lead to disillusionment and disappointment, followed by despair. ALL the candidates have flaws.

Some just have less.

Hence my new avatar (I never had one). Hence the addition to my signature line.
