7. So many people proved their creds

both to the left and the right by "punching" Hillary: that woman is a corrupt/ neoliberal/commie/warmonger/troops-hating/carpet-bagging c*nt." Wow, you sure made yourself look radical/murican on Facebook and to your friends, but how did that work out for the entire freakin' world?

I'm thinking it's a phenomenon akin to hippy-punching: mommy-punching. Prove how cool you are by dissing your parents. Hillary represents "mom", she is all about work, responsibility, doing your homework and knowing the material, and doing your part instead of blaming someone else. She can absorb the punches and keep on keeping on. But Mom doesn't live forever and she can't fix all problems, and when the time comes...it's not her fault.
