To Bernie's and Hilary's biggest supporters and biggest detractors

If you love them you probably see them through rosy colored glasses but they both have flaws.

If you are angry at one of them you are probably unconsciously vilifying them way beyond the amount they should be vilified.

I am sure 99% of us have worked with someone we love and respect and also someone we don't care for. Both of these co-workers can make the EXACT same mistake and if you love the person then: "Oh, it's no big deal!" If you hate them then: "For the love of GOD that idiot is so incompetent!"

I am absolutely guilty of this as well. It's human nature but it's something we need to try to be aware of to keep ourselves honest.

My two cents. Carry on!

Is it fair to blame Republicans for overt hypocrisy when one can't hold one's self to the same standard?
