(20,709 posts)And another question, who are you to tell people that Bernie Sanders addresses their concerns? How about letting them make up their own mind. You seem to think that just because you like him, then everyone else has to also, and if they don't then they are trolls.
Here's the thing, I happen to think that Hillary is a strong progressive, as evidence by her record. However, when other people say things like "she's got too many ties to Wall Street" or whatever, fair enough, that's their opinion. And I can see where they are coming from. Now, is it necessary to intrude on every thread where something good is said about Hillary in order to bash her about this? No. Is it necessary to have 10 OPs a day on the same emails and speeches and other such nonsense? No.
Remember, the Bernie post on race that started the firestorm, the criticism was that Bernie's speech was "not good enough" on race issues. That's the extent of it. If someone on DU called Hillary "not good enough", that might be one of the nicest things said about here for a week.
