2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Yeah, in connection with Yavin4's thread on Hillary Hate [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)8. Yavin4 was a mass vendor of Hillary Hate in 2008, this time he's for her and doing attacks on Bernie
and Bernie supporters done against Hillary and her supporters in 2008. I think it is massively dishonest to work in extreme, name calling terms for years and then make an OP like the one you reference, feigning shock to read the very things the OP himself wrote in 2008. 'Wow!' he says, as if it just shocks him, when he wrote endless attacks on her, called her supporters 'Hillarians' and said she's exploit any issue, on and on and on. Also lots of material about Bill's affairs, lots of that.
So switching sides is one thing, but to affect surprise at what one has personally done on an extensive basis is just an attempt to sell me a sack of bullshit.

It is baffling that someone would throw it all away because their candidate didn't make it

Yep. Caretaker Dem presidents pushing only modest reforms are a luxury we can ill afford.

Yes. The bluntness of "get in line" is extremely disrespectful and counterproductive for what needs
