Hillary and Bernie are both holding events in Portland this week.

30. "positively acknowledge them"

With the OP framed like that? Give me a fucking break.

And your assertion that all or the majority of attendees at rallies are activists is ludicrous. I've been to and worked at political rallies, and you're lucky if you can get a tiny, tiny percentage to turn up for GOTV activities let alone activism. How completely absurd. I suppose you think just going to a rally amounts to being an activist.

As for positive, I and sick to fucking death of seeing one smear thread after another and then get preached to about how I or others don't respond "positively"--read obsequiously. If this had simply been about a Sanders rally, I wouldn't have opened it let alone commented. But as usual, the abiding goal is to ensure one woman will never become president. You want positive responses, post positive OPs. Don't worry. I won't be holding my breath.
