There's an art to name calling [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by GP6971 (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

Why not a thread to discuss the names we call each other? Maybe it will work itself out of our collective systems and we'll knock it off, yeah, like that would happen.

The best examples have a grain of truth to them. I like Camp Weathervane. It's rather mild and highlights position reversals, which lately some could have caused whiplash.

But Bernie supporters seem to just get called Bernie with some syllable tagged on to it: Bernistas, BernieBot, and now lately BernieBro.

Really? That's the best you can do?

It shows precious little imagination, I have to guess that it takes too much imagination to sustain the notion that Hillary is who the country needs in the White House and therefore there is none left to use on names to attack us with. It's time to step up your game.

So both sides, what's the best/worst name you've seen used on DU and why?

I'm going to make some coffee, I'll be back.
