I alerted a thread post on GD-P and guess what.

Here's the thread's opening post directed to all Hillary supporters:

You do not stand for the Democratic values. You are not a positive influence on the Democratic Party, you are part of the reason of it demise. You are closing your eyes and plugging your ears to all that Hillary Clinton has been doing and involved in for decades. You either do not care about the middle class and the poor or you are brainwashed. You might even be a one issue voter. You might only a Democrat because you were a Republican and voted for George W Bush. You were so embarrassed that you changed parties and became a Democrat.....except you came with your Republican values.


I was immediately informed that another alert had already occurred and the jury voted to keep the post, 4-3.

Can you believe these guys?

I almost commented on the thread, but it's either the highest irony and is flying over everyone's heads, it's a plant, or it's just someone who can't be reasoned with.

And, it should not be allowed.

admins should review it. I am not optimistic though.

What is even worst is some of the replies to the OP that support it.

(I never had one in the past, but it's relatively recently that I started commenting rather than lurking).

The place would require a good housecleaning and a sea change before I'd consider supporting it--or this might happen again and I won't have my dollars going to support that.

can't navigate a path as narrow as it is right now. After tomorrow?

Perhaps American science can investigate developing a nano-robot than can handle a path that fine.

true Democrats. In fact it calls Hillary supporters republicans

It is a disgrace that this post would be allowed

It is pure crazy talk:

"You might only a Democrat because you were a Republican and voted for George W Bush. You were so embarrassed that you changed parties and became a Democrat"

There is something really sick and twisted with some of these supporters.

I think we all know that Sander's is not what we consider a true Democrat. But,for one of his supporters to have the nerve to define us as anti Democrat because of whom we support, is disrespectful and suggests that we are not capable of making a smart decision. Of course, we know better, and we know who the true Democrat is, as well as the candidate who is the most knowledgeable, and experienced-Hillary Clinton!
