(7,865 posts)Is that we have been continually badgered about supporting Hillary in the generals. After hearing it twelve or thirteen times in a week it can be really annoying. Especially if you heard it a dozen times at least last July or so when we were learning that the GOP would be having lots of debates and we would be having three before the end of the year.
That was particularly annoying. Demanding support in the generals (which the majority of us will give, albeit begrudgingly) when there hadn't been a single debate or at all.
Now multiply that by a few months and a few badly scheduled debates.
We felt a lot of people were basically saying:
"We want your support... now shut up and support our candidate because we don't want to talk about your candidate."
or worse
"You are dirty scum that aren't real democrats anyways so you better support our candidate to provie it."
