67. Call her supporters what ever rolls off the tip of your tongue.

I have no clue why you would want to. A person calling someone names on the internet should influence your principals. Not telling you anything you don't already know.

I'm also not sure the op called you a name. It's pretty clear to all of us that there are a few extremely loud disruptors claiming to be Sanders supporters. I'm not sure why people don't understand that on du being a Hillary supporter puts one in the extreme minority. DU is not representative of the country yet some want to act as if it is. Sanders has overwhelming support here, as he should. Yet a select few are running around with their hair on fire and allow zero positive talk of Hillary.
