Traffic at DU is way down compared to 2008. Threads on the "Latest Threads" would rotate off the bottom in less than an hour.

And, in 2008, it was nasty here, but I don't recall the really vicious postings against HRC that we're seeing today.

I wasn't aware, just seems more busy here of late

I remember having strong pro-Obama opinions in 2008, but I don't feel like we behaved *this* badly.

I think mostly it's that she's a woman who is daring to be winning. However there is also some top-down hostility coming from the Sanders camp from what I've seen; he makes constant insinuations about her character without any proof of wrongdoing and many young people seem to worship the ground he walks on and seem to want to regard him as perfect. He paints a simple picture where she represents everything "bad" whether or not it's true and portrays himself as the antidote to what ails are society. His narrative is simple and attractive, partly because it is so simple. So those are some factors.

Watching a rally, before he came on, I saw a lot of hostility toward her coming from staff (petty and nasty attitude) and have heard second hand their e-mails tend to say nasty things about her; I haven't seen them myself though. Then there's her portrayal in the media which is I feel, full of double standards and weirdly harsh. They spin every word that does or does not come out of her mouth. And many sites have nasty things to say that aren't grounded in reality. As with anyone, there are things to dislike, but even the outlandish stuff is believed. There's also the fact that a lot of his supporters are younger.

My brother is drinking the Koolaide regarding her, while another friend prefers Sanders but lacks the irrational hatred toward Clinton that seems to pair with it for some. I would have rather seen her duke it out with O'Mallley because I like a more straightforward fight, but, people liked who they liked.

on winning your seat on your local community college board!

So many keep this site sane but we're dwindling thanks to the majority on the juries who hide our posts.. not because we're breaking the TOS, but because they can.

The Hillary group keeps my blood pressure down, that's for sure.

Hopefully sanity will return once the primary is over

I'd give you a standing ovation if I could for posting this, as it's this sort of positive post that is sorely lacking nowadays. (Especially in the GD: P realm).

Thanks.
