Nominate an insulting/overused phrase/meme to be retired from GD-P

Sooooo many overused and insulting phrases/sayings/memes!

I'll pick one from each side:

"Virtual tie." Please stop saying that, Hillary supporters. After the millionth time, it became unfunny.

"But...it's her turn!" Please stop saying that, Bernie supporters. After the millionth time, it became unfunny.

Just a little light-hearted frivolity while we wait for results.

I say put it in the bin, along with any variation of "shrill" or "shill" for Hillary supporters.

Pragmatic is a good example.

I don't think I understand what "establishment" means anymore either. Or "corporatist".

Strangest thing, it's like any time I see it, it's being used in reference to black voters. >.>

It's gross, it makes no sense, and nobody will have their feelings hurt if it goes away.

I try to be as hard toward Clinton as I can possibly be, but slamming someone for political work as a child I don't understand.
