I just wanted some to see what it feels like when the candidate you fully believe in is attacked with baseless, completely unsubstantiated, and hyperbolic insults.

Attack the process, attack the disenfranchisement of voters..any voters..without any regard to who they may or may not support, and you absolutely have an ally here.

Attack the candidate with something completely unsubstantiated linking her, insinuating her, or implicating her with no evidence.. What so ever.. I'll return the favor.
