2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie Sanders would be appalled with the attacks against Hillary Clinton.
Bernie is a good man running a positive campaign, and he has said over and over again how well he knows Hillary and how much he admires and respects her. He will not go negative, and neither will she as she said today in her Face the Nation interview. (He does point out some policy differences, but NO personal attacks, and no hint of a nasty tone. He isn't having it.)
Bernie is setting the right tone which is a model for ALL Democrats/Progressives interested in this election cycle.

(1,017 posts)Sort of like how appalled Hillary was that the super PAC laid out all that shit on Sanders? Yep , I am sure he cares . Possibly he cares more about policy however , but you have to switch this around somehow , amiright ?
What would you call the tone that camp Hillary is setting ?

Then of course there is Wasserman Schultz who in 2008 said limiting debates was counterproductive and yet finds these rules very convenient when it suits her favored candidate. There is a lot of very undemocratic behavior happening right now and we will not stand for it.

(8,812 posts)It's his horrible supporters that force me to back Hillary instead! Even though she's backed by employees from major banks and he's mainly garnered union support, those abrasive Bernie supporters leave me no choice: I need to back Hillary, Inc.
The Devil made me do it.

(12,081 posts)people who say horrible things on every single website on the internet. Hillary supporters have said some pretty horrible stuff to me before. I just put them on ignore. Ignore is a wonderful option. But even with all the nasty things Hillary supporters have said to me, I chose to base my support on political policy and voting records and whom I believe will fight big money interest. For me that choice is Bernie Sanders. Like I said, you can vote for whomever you like based on whatever you like. That is the beauty of voting.

In fact, by posting more than 140 characters I've probably already inadvertently exceeded some sort of sacred limit!
It's all good.

It's really only them nasty Sanders supporters that you object to, huh?

Authoritarians just don't do well here, methinks. Must be very aggravating!
Hillary's Super PACS go negative. And, too bad for her supporters, that old "she has no control over them" canard just does not work any more. We have teh Googler and teh internet and can check the bullshit out.
Little attempted guilt trips won't work, by the way. We are all too familiar with Hillary campaign hi-jinks. Or low-jinks, really.
