Primary season is fucking hysterical.
I’ve been called a closet right winger, I’ve been told that I shouldn’t listen to what Karl Rove wants me to believe about Clinton. I’ve been told that I’m sexist because I don’t support Clinton. I’ve been told to go back to RedState. Because I took the time to come here, write hundreds of diaries and well over 10,000 comments to secretly infiltrate and fool all of the Hillary supporters.
I’ve had users that I have always gotten along with suddenly have a meltdown. I’ve been told by someone that they will "remember" what I said about their candidate when they go in my diaries, even though I just told them in a different thread that I admire his diaries and dedication .
I’ve been called an idiot, told that I should broaden my view, been told that "that type of decision making astounds me" and had people take my snarky comments seriously and insult other candidate’s supporters that I didn’t even mention. I’ve been troll rated by a Clinton supporter at least once - and certainly not deserved. But I wore it like a badge.
I’ve been troll rated by an Edwards supporter today for what I thought was a completely ridiculously over the top snarky comment that nobody could possibly take seriously about not supporting Edwards because of his supporters here. Two days after writing a snarky candidate diary that I am sure many people saw. And I’ll wear this troll rating and the oh-so-righteous reply to me from the one who gave me a TR like a badge too.
Gawd, y’all take yourselves and your candidate so fucking seriously. Chill the fuck out. They are ALL pretty good candidates. None of them can walk on water or should be compared to Ghandi and MLK (like Edwards was in one of the most recent 50 recommended Edwards diaries over the past 3 days). None of them are going to do half of what you think they can or will do.
And no, not Obama either.
None of them suck - and they will all be way better than any republican.
But some of the comments that I got for something that not only defies hundreds of comments and dozens of diaries I have written about these candidates (big picture here, folks) in terms of believability and seriousness (1) made this even funnier for me to read and (2) was really telling in terms of how funny watching y’all duke it out and get all pissy over snark.
Thankfully, we only have a few weeks before this is over and we can get back to the real stuff - like fighting against torture, trying to get out of Iraq, doing something about climate change and other items that are clearly less important than what Clinton or Obama or Edwards said or did 5 minutes ago.
So all I need now is a TR from an Obama supporter. Then I’ll hit the trifecta.
