Once again, we have an anti-Hillary diary on the rec list that has devolved into a pie fight. While I don’t think it’s right or fair for a Clinton supporter to “hijack” the first comment, which is what happened yet again…. it’s also absolutely unfair to demand that Clinton supporters stay out of the comments at all.
If you want to post a pro-Bernie diary, nobody is going to stop you. Praise Sanders all you want. He is a wonderful guy, and a great candidate.
But if you don’t want the Clinton supporters to come in and try to defend her, then DO NOT PUT HER NAME IN THE TITLE.
Having anything related to Clinton in the title immediately changes the dynamic from being a “pro-Bernie” diary to being an “anti-Hillary” diary.
I’ll respectfully refrain from commenting anything that isn’t positive in a genuine pro-Bernie diary. But it’s completely unfair to ask me to stay out of an anti-Hillary diary. As much as we all have the right to laud our candidates, we also have the right to defend them.
Lift your candidates up. Don’t tear each other down. The voters will decide just about a month who was right or wrong — everything until then is just arguing for argument’s sake.
Let’s all have some pie and make up now.
