I see we're really focused on the issues these days.

There's nothing more compelling and relevant to the country as butt crack, whether or not somebody is technically registered as a Democrat, and whether somebody flip flopped or not.

But that would require a particular candidate's supporters to stop wanting to talk about how sexist "kick butt" is supposed to be, or for Friday to stop being "Sanders isn't a Democrat" day.

A secret conspiracy isn't a secret conspiracy when it's in plain view. Just a corrupt system that needs to be reformed.

BLM and CNN, on the other hand, are not agents of the shadow Soros/corporate government out to destroy Sanders.

If you criticize a candidate, you run the risk of being called an intruder, a paid shill, a stalking horse for the GOP, etc. I understand loyalty to a candidate, since I have been around political campaigns for a long time, but it gets to the point where supporters will bare their teeth and growl at anyone who points at any flaw in their candidate. How long will this go on after the primaries?

And I think there are some flaws in Clinton's positions on certain issues, and I think people should consider those flaws and support Sanders.
