What do you think? Could constantly posting anti Hillary stuff day in and day out even though it

won't change the outcome of the primary be some form of OCD?

I got the idea from the movie "Silver Linings Playbook" . The dad keeps playing with the remotes while watching the Eagles game on TV thinking it brings the team luck even though it really has no effect on the outcome of the game. His son says it is a form of OCD.

Since Hillary has the most votes and the most delegates she will be the nominee yet some people have the need to compulsively post anti Hillary screeds as if it will help Bernie win the nomination. I think that is a form of temporary OCD.

People discuss things. If people are angry about the likely results of the primary, that is a legitimate subject of discussion.
