I've come to the conclusion that I made a mistake... [View all]

When Sanders announced, I suggested that the exuberance of his supporters might lead to a bit of trash-talking, and we should probably be understanding.

I'm now of the opinion that there's a lot of anti-Hillary ugliness that has gravitated to Sanders as a convenient vehicle. I will respond appropriately and factually to some of the junk that gets thrown out. I will also remember that there's a real world out there, and that what percolates on DU has little bearing on it.
