(4,484 posts)I just saw someone on DU say that all of the life long dedication Rachel Maddow has given to the left is null and void because she has said things that are favorable to Clinton. That's pretty disparaging.

(7,318 posts)over the cliff in favor of parading out her candidate every chance she could, is NOT disparaging Hillary.
Yesterday, Rachel Maddow truly embarrassed herself carrying water for Hillary, yet again. Rachel got so thoroughly invested in presenting the faux-outrage talking points Hillary sent to her, over their manufactured claims of violence by Sanders supporters, that she inserted a chair throwing scene from another event into her story. Why? Because no video exists of chairs being thrown around, by anyone, at the Nevada Convention. In all the videos filmed of the entire convention, there is no video of that. In fact, in all the dozens and dozens of videos available to everyone on the net, there is no evidence of violence of. any. kind. period!
And so, in order to add gravitas to her story, Rachel Maddow sunk to the level of digging up and presenting stock footage of chairs being thrown around.
That's what a Rachel Maddow type of reporter does to support her candidate.

(25,586 posts)If anyone on DU changes their vote because of some snarky GDP nonsense then they probably shouldn't be trusted with something as important as voting. This is entertainment.

(3,072 posts)It's just the same few people yelling at each other. I think most people are too busy to worry about a rude sanders supporter or snarky Clinton supporter on the internet.

(5,078 posts)1) you use those attacks to run the left out of the Democratic Party and replace it with moderate GOPers and neocons.
2) you have never had any respect for the left, and you believe they are either irrelevant or they will cave.
The corporate Democrats have dropped the mask. They are hijacking the party of FDR, and they think they have won already.

(11,949 posts)That Bernie supporters are such wilting lilies to allow anonymous online posters to affect their vote. Because someone gave them a sad. That would be incredibly immature.
Unfortunately, it seems to be the case. As evidenced by your OP.

(25,586 posts)They'll make all kinds of noise and spittle will fly, but in the end they'll see Trump vs Clinton and realize "Holy Shit! No brainer!"
