(31,170 posts)who find DU and hope for some community and to share information must be horrified.
But it is what it is, for now anyway. Skinner mentioned making some changes after the primaries. I hope it is substantial.

(4,451 posts)I have't posted much. I've never seen it this bad. Never. In 2008 I was for Hillary but excited about a black president too. I embraced them both. I saw the bickering back and forth but never this bad.

(4,640 posts)that I've come back active again. My thinking is one more POSITIVE voice on the side of Hillary is a good thing, considering all the venom we all see from the side of Sanders here.

(9,123 posts)I fear the Hillary hate is intense enough that no endorsement by Bernie will bring them around. And even worse fear many of them will turn to Trump as the outsider with a chance to change Wall Street.
I just had a topic about this blocked by a jury on GD P. Very rude comments from jurors as though I was baiting and trying to be disruptive. I'm terrified. And I want people who love Bernie to think long and hard before voting for a megalomaniac for POTUS.

(2,034 posts)always blame us? I can't help but notice their anger towards us. Like every one of us is going online and harassing them all the time. I don't get it.

(11,588 posts)They are not rational. They swap the Hillary hate with each other--nurturing conspiracy theories as they get bigger and bigger. Somehow the Clintons, the media, the evil "establishment" and oligarchs all over the world, not to mention big fracking and chemical companies that want to poison our food and environment, are all in bed together--the dark forces of evil.
While we see positive media coverage of Hillary Clinton not being the norm, Bernie fanatics see that odd, somewhat positive story as proof that the media is in the tank for her (how could they say anything good about such an evil, corrupt woman?) while the negative stories confirm their bias against her and they seem to believe the media is under-reporting the negative stuff on purpose.
Wild, unsubstantiated rumors, or discredited stories that pop up in fringe right-wing rags are not dismissed as they should be. Instead these kooks grab ahold of the smears there and repeat them here, and everywhere they can sound off about how the "Clinton machine" is responsible for blocking the righteous revolution of Bernie's that is meant to save us here at home and make our lives wonderful, and save the world, too, from WWIII and certain doom--he is our only hope--well, except for Elizabeth Warren (the white queen) who would further the Bernie plans--no-one else can be trusted.
We Hillary supporters are in league with all these nasty, evil things.

(15,951 posts)candidate. The Bernie supporters on DU are acting childish because their hero lost Nevada. I think some of them would love Trump or any Republican to beat Hillary just so they can say, "I told you so". That's the level that they are at. They don't care about what harm the Republican administration will so to this country as they just need to be proven correct.

(1,545 posts)When, no matter who you supported, Democrats didn't cite Newsmax or Breitbart to attack other Democrats.
As far as I'm concerned, that time has not ended. Anyone citing that shit is either a right wing troll or, as their antecedents used to say, "a useful idiot".
