(46,179 posts)I don't consider it a problem to be focused on issues, and to point out when HRC is wrong on issues. You see, some of us, myself included, are issues voters. Issues, not party personality or 10th dimensional chess, are what engages us and drives us to the polls.
My only interest in any candidate at all is their record and position on issues, so if I'm going to engage in campaigning, that's what I'm going to be talking about.
Of course I'm going to "attack individual issues over and over again." That's the whole point of campaigning and voting, at least for me.
It sounds like you don't like it when people talk about Clinton's poor positions and record on those "individual issues." So you suggest we talk about Bernie instead?
I can't speak for all Sanders supporters, of course, but I see plenty of people on DU building Bernie up. I also see plenty of Democrats trying to take him down, here and out in the rest of the world.
Are you suggesting that DU not compare HRC's positions and record on issues to Bernies? Isn't that the whole point of a campaign?
