So tired of the Anti-Hillary post (Hillary Clinton Group)

Simple question and to Bernie supporters I remind you that this was posted in the Hillary Clinton Group. I don't go on to Bernie's group and trash Bernie show our group some respect please, thank you. But right now, I'm really sick of the Anti-Hillary Clinton posts I see day in and day out on Democratic Underground and last I checked this was democratic underground right? Did this get transformed into the Independent Underground when I wasn't looking?

Where are all the Hillary Clinton supporters. I know we are there, I'd like to see some positive posts about Hillary for a change. I can't be the only one who feels that way am I?

Unfortunately, the thread usually gets shit on pretty quick. And then there are just the silly posts blaming her for what ever they chose for the day. Ignore them. Hillary will have won the primary by March 1 and probably before. After that, this will become Democratic Underground again and you won't see all the horseshit posts.

It does get pretty nasty against Clinton.
I hope it changes if not this site will be a ghost town site

3. Yes, and it does not enhance anything by continuing the same debunked talking points.

I wonder if the lack of good positions of the issues is the major problem.

Hillary is so very strong on foreign affairs, she knows lots of country leaders and does not need an introduction period. She is recognized as a strong knowledge of world affairs. This is an ability above other candidates and the other knowledgeable candidate is Lindsey Graham who the GOP will pass by.

Hillary worked across the lines while she was in congress. She was very strong in the Benghazi hearings, I dont think they found her weak link, strong, very strong. We need a functional Congress to do the work required by this nation. The number of towers built by members prevent negotiating abilities. The inability of of members to accept a straight line thinking is ruining our nation.

Hillary will work without ceasing.

doing their best to trash it although in many cases it does give me a much needed laugh at some of the responses. Sorta reminds me of my elementary days!

They are not online, they are not on DU. It has been said, and I don't know how true this is, that 85% of DU supports HRC. There are a handful of very vocal and unlikeable BS fans here.

Most of the HRC supporters are out in the real world working, raising their families, getting ready for the Holidays. These are the ones who you see in the polls. They have made up their minds and are busy with their lives . The BS fans on DU have nothing to do with their lives past present or future

They (we) are the historical and loyal Democrats from across the country who will elect HRC and help her win the WH.

We truly are the ones that don't jump bandwagons and are here for the long haul

Keep the faith

A whole trainload of hurt is going to unload on some folks here come Super Tuesday if not sooner. Many aren't handling it well.

Edited to add: Some have advanced to the bargaining stage. "You'd better be nice to us because you need us more than we need you!" Not very persuasive, but there you have it.

I feel beaten into submission...

What's the point of posting when I'm just going to be called names immediately. DU is still a great place but GDP is really rough, and makes me not visit the site or post as frequently as I used to.

Bummer.

10. Many feel that way. It's not only GDP. Any innocent comment on any subject gets it. n/t
