(8,175 posts)Change the genders in your sentence above, and that is the way we see it.
Of course we will each "see" all of the threads and posts stating something negative about our candidate, and especially relentless snarks against us as supporters, but may not even notice many of the threads and posts against your opponent or relentless snarks against you, because they don't upset us like the ones against us and our candidate.
It works the same for both sides.
So how do we declare a cease fire? Who will raise the white flag? Who will join hands and sing "cant' we all just get along"?
Maybe the question is "Who will go first?" and then will the other side follow? And that will only work if everyone follows the lead, not just half of each team.
Any suggestions?
