You split hairs and then accuse others of making insults. Either you believe something or you don't. Pointing out your views is not an insult. I never called you an astroturfer or anything else. When you stump for despots, people are going to notice. Those are positions you publicly took. I can imagine if I had taken such repugnant positions I would try to hide from them too. Clearly you aren't able to handle any questions about consistency in your views. You speak of Clinton supporters as though they were the devil's spawn, and here you are financially contributing to one such supporter by posting on this website.
A few points, given positions you have taken, you are not in a position to call anyone else right wing. The thing I have noticed about people who fixate on proclaiming themselves leftier than the rest of us is that they very often take more conservative positions on a host of issues.
As for political operatives: I can't imagine any campaign would waste a nickle trying to convince your crowd of anything. How could it possibly matter what you and a few dozen other people think about Hillary Clinton? You all think far too highly of yourselves. The fact is you represent nothing and no one but yourselves. Your views and goals are restorationist, looking to recreate a past America where your privilege went unchallenged, and where politicians didn't concern themselves with the riff raff you have written so dismissively about.
