We (Sandernistas) cannot reply to these accusations when they appear in the Clinton group, so I am reproducing the post here and responding to it.
This is a question every Bernie Sanders supporter must answer (thread title)
"Bernie Sanders is currently the beneficiary of an anti-Hillary Clinton ratfucking assault that would make Donald Segretti cringe. How can you possibly say he has clean hands in this matter?"
At the risk of being labelled a rat rapist, I will reply. We (Sandernistas) do criticize Clinton. Yes we do. We think she takes too much special interest money. We think her foreign policy is too hawkish. We think her third way strategy has hurt our party for 35 years. We think her support of the death penalty is dead wrong. We think she is waffling on some Social Security issues, although we can't be sure because she's so good at waffling it sometimes sounds decisive.
Is that an attack? I suppose it is. My criticism is your attack, I guess. And you are free to counterattack, although it appears Clinton supporters are not waiting for an invitation. Some of the things said about Sanders and his supporters are just as outrageous as the things said about Clinton and her supporters. So let's just get on with it and stop taking fake offense at each other, shall we? I think we all realize things get pretty nasty during the primaries, and there are going to be some outrageous fantasies and conspiracies proposed in support of or opposition to the candidates.

It's just the Hillarian form of ratfucking. Kinda cowardly, but ratfucking, just the same.

Ratfucking has nothing to do with facts. I have not seen that here being used against Hillary. We don't need to, there are enough facts to provide us with reasons to post already.
