I will not speak disparagingly of someone else's preferred candidate as long as he or she doesn't speak disparagingly
of mine, presuming he or she is a Democrat, of course.

OP
Can I retain the right to express how creeped out I am by a given candidate's fan club?

not to vote for the candidate you DON'T like, and get them to support the candidate you DO like. I hope there's enough of a contest that it's not a nice-fest here.

You're no fun!
It would be pretty boring if all there was during primaries are threads like -- This is why I adore my candidate, and you should too!
