It Needs To End, and Soon. It Really Does. (HRC Group)

You all know what I'm talking about, and that would be the opposite of rallying behind the presumptive Democratic nominee, uniting as a Party, presenting that united front to the public and turning our resources and energy to defeating Trump and the Rs in the GE. This "opposite of" is what needs to end.

But that is NOT happening because a certain EX-CANDIDATE for the D nominee for president refuses to face reality and do what is NORMALLY done once a candidate announces that he is no longer seeking the nomination. And his bellicose followers are following his lead - as they have throughout the campaign - and wallowing in their collective hysteria and delusion over the fact that their candidate has lost.

It would help if a certain owner of a certain website would call the race already and switch said site off a primary footing and onto a GE footing.

Childish, divisive name-calling. If DU is going to be about electing Democrats, and that's what we claim, then it's long past time to cut out this kind of juvenile disruption.

No way it was over the top or hurtful...the Bernie folks have stacked the juries by getting Hil supporters tossed out of consideration because of their calling every Hillary post offensive...although I have noticed today and yesterday as well that...they are not getting it done quite as easily. Apparently some of them were bragging about their jury process. Maybe the powers that be have caught on.

after failing to make money in the 2015 Year of the Bernie that the admin would be ready to open up DU to Democrats again, and end the nominee bashing and relentless whining. We have an election to win in the face of historical precedent and a very strange American electorate.

Democrats have got to be looking for a welcoming home - and then they see this appalling behavior here.

'They' won't stop - until they are stopped.

There is the real world primary where Clinton is winning the majority of votes and delegates. This is the universe of facts, figures (math), actions, and consequences. It is the realm of real, but imperfect, human beings.

There is the virtual reality primary (digital media) where Sanders is winning online polls, turning superdelegates, fighting conspiracies, and fabricating fantasy outcomes (wishful thinking). This is the alternate universe of "digital games" and delusional thinking. It is the realm of superheroes and supervillains.

In the real universe, people vote and accept consequences.

In the alternate universe, people wage war and win primaries on keyboards.

For many unfortunates, the virtual world is the only satisfying or "real" world. Being at rallies with like-minded persons is like being at a gaming convention.

The pope is right. Some people need a psychiatrist.

look-at-me temper tantrums. Outside of a small group of internet warriors,there is zero proof that Sanders supporters are not going to vote for Clinton. Ignore them and the lack of drama will eventually stop them.
