Here is a great new game to play

Bernie wins Wisconsin. Yay!

A Hillary supporter (OneHandle) posts a downer thread about it in Latest Breaking News. They beat the Sander's supporter thread in time. But they only get 34 recs, cause what Bernie supporter wants to kick and rec a thread by a Hillary supporter, especially one that tries to downplay his win?

So then Hissyspit posts the same exciting news in Latest Breaking News, and gets 107 recs from excited Bernie supporters, and before many people can even see it, this thread is locked (by a Hillary supporter...coincidnence? I don't think so), because there was one before it.

Yeah...there was. A downer thread.

So guys, here's the game and we need to be ready for. When we have a win, be sure and post it as early as you can, but look for an earlier post, because a Hillary supporter may have already planted a downer thread to kill the whole thing on the front page.

And don't forget that this can work both ways...OK, forget I said that. Bernie supporters don't need to play dirty games like that.
