(11,746 posts)My interest is in getting Democrats elected and I don't think it serves us well to succumb to "conservative" lies and smears. Cenk is an idiot. Sorry, but that's how it is.
Oh, and I think you know that particular person very, very well. I'm glad, though, that you find him to be a "fringe character."
My "beef" is that we should not fall into cons, like those created by Bannon, or Rove before him, or Atwater before him. "Conservatives" lie. The irrational loathing of Hillary Clinton was, in fact, aided and abetted by certain erstwhile leftists. I am not going to label all Sanders' supporters. That would be inaccurate. Most Sanders' supporters are not guilty and in fact many of them shared my consternation and dismay at the people like our friend "JC."
To this day he is belligerent and obnoxious about it, although he claims he voted for HRC.
