Just an observation of the new Clinton tactic.

[Else You Are Mad]

Is it me, or is it that the last few days anyone that points out a legitimate negative observation of Hillary is automatically called a right wing asshole? They don't even beat around the bush, they just go straight to the conservative jugular.

1. Accusations are all they have. n/t

[Scootaloo]

2. It's their only argument.

Hillary supporters are the pufferfish of the political ocean - they're not the fastest swimmers, and are primarily known for puffing up and being extremely toxic.

11. ...and "sexist!" --- groundless diversions. Nt

3. Yup.. that's this weeks. and probably next week's talking points.

It is not even worth replying to any of it..
Just let the posts sink like a rock...

4. Intensifying now that the end is in sight.

With Clinton coming closer and closer to securing the nomination, the "logic" behind an old argument becomes more urgent. Bernie Sanders, the reasoning goes, never had a chance, and continues to sap energy from the Clinton campaign, spread right wing talking points, give Trump more ammo against Clinton, etc. We have been hearing this since Iowa, and it continued right through every surge Sanders made, as he kept pulling upsets and acting like a serious contender. It's the same people, making the same argument, but they feel their case is better now, since it looks almost certain Clinton will wrap up the nomination soon. There is no consideration of the notion that millions of people want to vote for Bernie, and will do so if he stays on the ballot and keeps his campaign active. Nope. Those voters should have to choose between Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton. There is no thought given to the possibility that pushing Sanders out now might anger millions of voters, causing them to stay home in November. They cannot help themselves, it seems. Slaying the evil Bernie dragon will help them slay the evil Donald dragon, or so they believe. They see no value in the Sanders candidacy, believing it illegitimate from the beginning, regarding it is just another impediment to Clinton's progress.

I love the ignore feature!

Why did I reply to myself?

[senz]

21. Well at least you know you don't have yourself on ignore!

[LiberalElite]

15. THAT poster

is a sicko who I've had on ignore for a looong time. I can't reply to them since I'm blocked but - you're known by the company you keep.

[HereSince1628]

16. It isn't close to new.

Another brigade of HRC supporters has joined the fray, and attacking a poster is an easy m.o. for a beginner with nothing else to say.

18. They can't state Hillary's positions on issues because they may have changed

by the time they finish typing.

I haven't seen any new tactics in months except their Casey Champagne thing.
