Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumAutumn, the host of the Bernie group has called for civility and a slow transition to GE setting
She's being attacked by supporters of Bernie Sanders on DU. I think this is messed up. We might disagree with Autumn, but we can't deny she has been a strong fighter and advocate for Senator Sanders.
Here's the thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511793397

(2,524 posts)that are here not to support Sanders but to bash Clinton. They will be the first to get their walking papers or fall on their swords when the transition happens. We all know who they really are and it will become painfully obvious to true Sanders supporters over the next few weeks...or even sooner.
Here's to Autumn...

(7,480 posts)They are so divisive that they attack each other. Let them continue in their delusions. They won't listen to reason. They must come to reason -- or not to reason -- on their own time. So be it.

(3,964 posts)This sounds like a transition from the primaries to GE mode.
Stand and Fight
(7,480 posts)They should be the ones to make overtures of reconciliation. I returned full time to DU and tried making a post calling for unity, and what did that side do? Immediately attacked me. At that point I was leaning Sanders. After carefully reviewing their posts then it became clear that they were extremely vitriolic. Their responses to her thread prove they've not changed.

(36,309 posts)It appears she's asking Skinner to call it so those who attack Democrats, and Bernie would be considered one , would risk bring PPR'd.Just as those who would attack Hillary. It'd force us to stick to issues if we would want to remain a member.

(9,148 posts)We're pretty much focused on looking forward to Hillary and the GE and then the White House, at this point.
As we have been all along.

(31,849 posts)the OP says "Call it, Skinner" ... then, posts a dozen posts arguing that she did mean a transition to GE setting.
Did she mean, "Heads or Tails?"

(26,080 posts)I THINK she is saying CALL IT, SKINNER ie no more attacks on Hillary -- or Bernie -- just straight issues.

In a way, I am not surprised, it is a little bit of reap what you sew situation.
Hope she is successful, we need to get DU back to some form of normalcy.

I didn't speak for you. I said Skinner should call it, officialy. We know where he stands
We should quit trying to change Hillary supporters minds and concentrate on getting Bernie elected. Have any of us changed on single Hillary supporters mind here on DU?

(24,576 posts)and thanks for calling for more civility...I guess that is what she is trying to accomplish. I think getting rid of GDP and having the "camps" stay in their group will make it more productive here. We can turn our focus to the GE and let them support Bernie's quixotic last gasp.
