When anyone posts anything critical of Bernie Sanders what do Sanders's support's do?

Do they counter rational arguments in the message with valid rational arguments of their own? No! The immediately attack the messenger and shout: It's a conspiracy, It's a conspiracy!!!

When anyone posts anything complementary of Hillary Clinton, what do Sanders's support's do?

Do they counter rational arguments in the message with valid rational arguments of their own? No! The immediately attack the messenger and shout: It's a conspiracy, It's a conspiracy!!!

I have seen this reaction time and time again. Is it because Sanders' supporters have no rational arguments to counter points made by those who are critical of Sanders or complementary of Clinton, or is it because they are too lazy indulge in actual debate so they take the easy way out?

Oh yea, I can hear the response to this post now - the guy who wrote this piece is a right wing nut job! Then it should be easy for you to counter his points with your superior socialist talking points. What are you going to in the general election when all of he attacks are coming from the right wing? Do you think that yelling It's a conspiracy, It's a conspiracy!!! will you convince undecided voters?

It is the for Sanders supporters to realize that this is not a place here to act like high school cheerleaders, it is a place to discuss serious discussions.

1. The Constant Attacks...

Are over the top ridiculous as well as alienating us to their views and their candidate.

2. So, has any of them finally admitted that Hillary won Iowa???

I don't read the rest of the site. I won't bother with the place until Super Tuesday when it will be too much fun not to watch. Naturally they will cry conspiracy, their candidate is building his entire campaign on conspiracy theories. His followers would follow him off a cliff! Disturbing but not surprising.

8. Nah, it's a victory since Bernie came from so far behind

Admitting their candidate didn't or can't win is not in their DNA

[Walk away]

14. But I thought Iowa was going to prove polls are useless and that Bernie had some kind of invisable..

.. cell phone army that would emerge at the polls and give him a landslide.

4. Even Skinner (anyone know who that guy is?) wrote an OP favoring Clinton today....

....and he got slammed by some!

9. He owns and operates DU

And he has always supported Hillary.

11. Sorry, I was being sarcastic about "anyone know who he is".

[CajunBlazer]

12. Maybe you should use the sarcasm indicator for people like me

I'm fairly new around here.

5. Obviously this whole thread is a conspiracy

Do I really need to put in the sarcasm remark?

I guess so......

7. It's like arguing with right-wingers.

They have their own galaxy that has nothing to do with the real world

[CajunBlazer]

10. Nah, they have their own parallell universe

15. Quantum physics of today's politics

Predicts multiple such universes. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance going around.

16. It's an epidemic and says everything about them and absolutely nothing about their target.

17. Their behavior is what drove

a lot of us away from Sanders. I was a Sanders supporter until I saw how he handled the BLM people and then I saw how his supporters started reacting that told me everything I needed to know. That's when I took a serious look at sister Hillary. Anytime a candidate says they want to strengthen President Obama's record, I'm sold.

19. This was the tipping point for me as well.
