MANY DEMOCRATIC VOTERS, SIX MONTHS AGO:
“No matter what happens, guys, whoever gets nominated, we have to support them. Bashing Democrats is not productive. We shouldn’t make personal attacks on either Hillary or Bernie, and especially not on their supporters. If we do that, it pretty much guarantees that a Republican will get elected.”
MANY DEMOCRATIC VOTERS TODAY:
“I don’t trust Hillary! She’s in bed with Wall Street and big business!”
“Bernie is out of his mind! Look at him! That ‘wealth redistribution’ nonsense sounds good on paper, but he’s delusional if he thinks it’ll actually work!”
“Hillary is a hypocrite! She talks a good game about criminal justice reform, but her husband’s escalation of the ‘War On Drugs’ is a big reason why we need criminal justice reform in the first place! A person would have to be STUPID to think she’s changed her mind on any of that stuff!”
“Bernie simply does not have the experience to run for President. Hillary is WAY more experienced with international politics, and only an IDIOT would want Bernie Sanders representing our nation abroad!”
“HILLARY SUCKS!”
“BERNIE SUCKS!”
“HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE PLAYING ‘IDENTITY POLITICS’!”
“BERNIE SUPPORTERS ARE BIGOTS!”
Etc., etc., etc.
MICHAEL NATHAN WALKER, SIX MONTHS AGO:
“It’s probably not gonna happen, but I would like to see Hillary and Bernie on the same ticket. They do have quite a few views that are pretty far apart from each other, but that sort of ideological tension would be good for the office of President and for our country in general. The GOP is obsolete, in terms of actual constructive policies, and they should be treated as such. Hillary and Bernie have differences, and they butt heads over these differences, but at least the issues they butt heads over are important issues, not like the personal attacks and reactionary nonsense the GOP butts heads with itself over.
Let’s argue over this stuff after they’re both in the White House, guys.
CLINTON/SANDERS ’16!”
