(39 posts)and while I'm standing by Hillary, but I can tell you this: If Bernie can prove that he's polling better within the next few weeks, I'll be considering him as my candidate of choice. I have donated to both, and am happy to support both.

(9,126 posts)But I don't think people who treat all facts and history as "right wing smears" and stuff their ears and sing "lalalalalalalalala" are really good judges of what should or should not be posted. That's just me. (passive aggressive smiley )

(7,499 posts)We should ignore the other candidates' supporters who have post after post attacking anything positive about Bernie. Responding only gives them an opening to continue the onslaught. It's tempting to respond, but the best way to shut them down is to simply ignore them.

(7,499 posts)There are some posters here who don't want to discuss the issues, they simply run all over threads throwing baseless accusations in response to every post that is favorable to Bernie and hijacking threads. They spew all kinds of absurd claims that are blatantly erroneous. If we focus on them, we get off message. The best way to shut down the haters is to ignore them.
I am all for discussing and debating the issues and defending Bernie, but I don't think it is wise to be drawn into a spitting contest that has no purpose other than to derail valid, productive discourse.
I am speaking about posters here, not the candidate.

(26,549 posts)After all, they weren't challenged.
The people making these posts are not doing it because it gets a reaction. They're doing it because they think it helps their cause.
Ignoring them will not make the posts go away.
