I want to thank the defenders of misogyny

63. This is not what one does if one wants to support their candidate in the mainstream

I realize this is not the mainstream, and just an internet forum, but putting other people's choice on the defensive because of a minority of people who will chose to seek the lowest ground is not a winning strategy. It overshadowed all the good points you said about your choice except to those who already are in support of Hillary. Which kind of sucks eggs since you made some good points before you went negative.

There's really are better ways to support our choices without tossing in language that smears supporters of another Democratic candidate running for office. When we open those doors we also open the doors to unnecessary anger and division which does no one any good in the end. The same goes for any Sanders or O'Malley supporter who chooses to use personal, divisive tactics on Hillary supporters. You're not doing your candidates any good by acting the jerk on the internet. You're just feeding the media something they can exploit and then try and use against your candidate of choice. It's a really bad idea. Remember the whole BS PUMA thing the GOP pulled in 2008? That was a classic example of what not to ever let happen again.

I learned a lot from 2008. I won't ever be "that" person. No matter what side "that" person is on. I will plead an honest level of total noncompliance to having participated. Screw the MSM and their ratings, and screw divisive politics! I'm not going to tear down others to lift up my choice. No matter how crappy their surrogates on the internet may act, or how much they may bait me personally.

I know I don't have a choice yet, and to a lot that's going to make me suspect, but I'm not trying to lift up one over the other in this post. I'm just suggesting we don't tear down one over another based on their supporters on the internet, because that's something which is too easily manipulated, and as such easily exploited by the GOP. This goes out to all of you reading out there who think before you react. Do not let yourselves be baited or be caught up in the game. Just stop and think and ignore the hooey. Focus on the reality of your choice, whomever that may be, and not the emotions of some of the least trustworthy of their supporters on the internet. (In this paragraph I'm not speaking of the OP, but to them, and to all the others out there whom may be thinking people. Just so no one thinks I'm bashing someone I am in no way intending to bash.)
