I carefully read through that whole thread, and while I was happy to see some Sanders supporters reject it the meme, and it was locked, any defense was untenable, and degraded to personal attack in at least one instance quickly. I'm sad to see that.

I'm voting for the Democratic nominee. I understand the primaries are going to be difficult, but tossing women and POC as well as GBLT folk under the bus, as we've seen in recent threads is a huge step backwards.

As a broad rule of thumb, I stay out of such debates in general principle, because as you say, seeing certain names or packs of people (and they are rarely in a thread but to stir shit) makes one question their actual motivation.
