29. Name calling
Tue May 26, 2015, 08:00 AM
May 2015

Someone supports Clinton or simply fails to demonstrate hatred for Clinton: you are allied with Goldman Sachs and the 1 percent.
You are responsible for murder. Claiming anyone who supports Clinton is voting to impose oligarchy (idiotic for number of reasons). African Americans are too "uninformed" to support the right candidate. Comments equating Hillary Clinton with her husband's policies (except single payer, something she actually tried to implement. That is always left out). Comments blaming her for her husband's infidelity, calling her an old woman, references to cankles, her balls, posting photo shopped pictures of her as an ugly queen. On and on and one.

Additionally, a lot of what passes for issues is in fact projection, a group think narrative that has set in that bears little relation to her actual positions. Supporting that is a doctored chart claiming investment banks are her biggest contributors, when in fact that same source in another tab shows the sectors that have contributed the most to her and PACs for her are lawyers, educators, and women's groups, with finance quite far down on the list.
