Fighting the good fight...looking for unbiased info source

I must be a glutton for punishment, because I haven't given up yet on debating and educating the BS horde on why Hillary is the better candidate, but I continually run up against one comment that I could use some new debate material to refute.

Specifically, the topic of the %!^%#! email server and the "continuing" investigation keeps coming up- some of the BSers are insistent that, despite anything I say about Hillary's merits as a candidate, it doesn't matter because "she'll be charged with a crime" and/ or "indicted and unable to continue her campaign or forced to step down if elected" so anything else is irrelevant.

I can argue why, logically, that won't happen all day long, but of course I'm "biased" and can't see the "truth".

What sources do you use for legitimate updates on this topic? Have you seen any good (recent) articles or topical breakdowns that you could point me to?

I do not see any of them relenting on this point.




I wish you well. I am not longer responding to this issue. they have posted many RW websites and juries let these posts stand.

Good luck

Sanders fans or Hillary haters on DU will never be persuaded by any logical or rational argument. You can respond to their posts but it doesn't require research because they won't believe you anyway.

My advice is to keep your responses short and sweet, support Hillary, and don't take their bait.

Good on you! A fellow fighter. See my GDP project below.

As for sources of up to date information, you might try correctrecord.org. Note there's no "the" in that site name. I haven't looked at it lately.

Or maybe braver. I no longer engage with these people. It doesn't MATTER what you say, what sources you cite, or what logic you use. But maybe you can get through the fog of The Bern. Good luck!

Their psyche will just not allow them to let that one go.
