(3,732 posts)I'd say they do the most damage with the "We are besieged by Hillary haters" posts" (from the same group who calls Bernie supporters "freepers"
. Shortly followed by "Hillary is being attacked because she's a woman" posts. Basically anything that posits Hillary as a victim after Hillary has been trundling through here like a 50 pound Gorilla for a year.
Or what about "Your a purity troll if you don't support Hillary" posts? Or, better yet this week's "You're anti-immigrant if you don't support Hillary". By the way, the whole separating the social from the economic thing so Hillary can distinguish herself from Bernie on the basis of race is really lame.
Oh, and the pro-Hillary DUers that attack SSI, some of which confess to be Third Way? Yep, they pretty much hurt their candidate in my eyes, too.
It seems who "hurts the candidate" is in the eye of the beholder, and who is in the Neutral Point of View position to be throwing down judgments entails a lot of wishful thinking.
