Dislike negative candidate-bashing threads? Prove it.
Stop voting up the bashing threads and start voting up the ones that offer a positive p.o.v. on the various candidates, whether you support that candidate or not. What's the point of bitching if you won't do anything proactive to make things better?

There have been many thoughtful posts suggesting why some here don't support Hillary Clinton. Of course, it's a hell of a lot easier to jump into a "bashing" thread and start throwing insults around than to deal with something thoughtful and thought-provoking. If you can't counter logic, you can always counter vitriol with more of the same.

Don't like the negativity? Do something different.

3. Well, I don't post on candidate bashing threads
I post on threads where the OP says something positive about a candidate.

5. Not everyone feels positive about all the candidates..
There are a lot of justifiably angry people in the Democratic wing of the Democratic party.
