Will the madness finally end on DU?

Will this place ever return to supporting democrats and the party?

spectacular now.

They tried to maneuver everything on this board to make BS shine in a good light.. hides, locks, trashing Hillary with rw sources even.. nothing has worked.. as I knew it wouldn't.

We just had to have patience and time.. over a whole year now.

I was kicked off this board 3 or 4 times at least just for supporting Hillary and the democratic party.

The berners ran this place with an iron fist and still do to a point.

When the day comes that Hillary is the official candidate of the party and Sanders concedes and supports her or gtfo and goes third party....

I will jump for joy!

At that very moment TPTB around here damn well better get back to being a democrat ONLY supporting board or I'm out of here for good!

That the SDs will thik Snaders a better candidate and flip to him.

That scenario is as unrealistic as him winning in pledged delegates.

The dudebros continue to argue as if there are undecided voters
who just don't know Bernie and his awesome awesome message yet.

They've totally drank the koolaid.

I'm expecting the vicousness to to get worse before it gets better.

But it won't be very long now.

I wonder what happens if they continue the attacks on Hillary
after she officially wins.

I wouldn't think that would be welcome here but I have to be honest
and say I've seen things here the last few months that I never
thought would be allowed.

The RW talking points backed with RW sources.

I've been around since 2002 and remember when citing a RW source
got you a granite pizza.

Now it's gotten fairly common.

Their attacks will continue, just on RW boards instead. At least, let's hope so.

Where Sanders never concedes defeat. He could simply suspend his campaign and announce a new organization (that Jane can manage) that will work to promote his goals outside of the Democratic Party.

He then plays the role of the Pied Piper marching his true believers into a new cash stream. "The revolution is here and it only costs $27/mo to join."

IOW, a renegade 3rd Party.

I don't see him EVER giving up his lucrative cash cow. He couldn't care less whether Trump wins. On the contrary, and as his acolyte Susan Sarandon said publicly, a Trump victory would only hasten the "SANDERS REVOLUTION" (TM).

I don't know if it's just desperation or what, but it's toxic over there. They have convinced themselves that Bernie is being cheated out of the nomination and the hate for Hillary is off the scale.

3 or 4 BSers have completely overrun the place with their repetitious, revolting BS. One of their number has posted the same friggin' piece in four (4) separate forums.

They've hijacked "LBN", "Good Reads", "Video/Multimedia", "Campaigns", and at times even "GD". The Hosts have been rendered superfluous.

I CAN'T WAIT 'TIL THESE LOWLIFES SLITHER AWAY ON THEIR BELLIES.

So odious and obnoxious they are.
