75. Exactly. Sanders supporters on this site don't realize how much harm they are doing their candidate

When undecided voters see the crap they constantly say about Clinton, it's definitely not going to make them break towards Sanders. It's funny how he always talks about how he refuses to attack or go negative (a LIE), but his supporters are rabidly attacking Clinton instead of building up their own candidate.

I've never seen a group of people so eager to claim they are victims at the same time they are viciously attacking other people.
