Hey, everyone; I'm glad everyone cares so much, but I think we need to calm down.

This business of implying a candidate is bad because of some behavior someone attributed to her/his followers is ridiculous.

I don't care what side you're on. If there's fraud, let's pursue it fast; if there are lies, let's correct them fast; otherwise, let's argue positions and actual records on the issues.

E.g., implying that either Bernie or Hillary are personally is anti-immigrant or a racist (any more than any other white person) really doesn't make sense to me, based on either of their records.

We should all have better things to do.

That's my problem with her. She doesn't care as much about this country as she does about her own career, and I believe the opposite can be said about Sen. Sanders.

And this country's straits are dire enough that this matters very much.

Doesn't seem to matter, the hate is even here in this thread - people can't seem to see reality once they pick a side. I don't see either candidate as bad, I can't imagine painting one as pure and the other as satan, but I guess politics brings out the worst in people.
