And certainly won't until after the 2016 election, if ever.

But I appreciate the bits of Twitterverse that are shared by some here.

If there was an event on or -- hell even CSPAN -- we'd all watch it together and comment in a thread. Twitter is like that, only you're not limited to just your echo chamber. It can be nice if you ignore the trolls. Unlike here, you can block someone at your discretion without noticing any missing elements of the conversation.

How bashing people helps Bernie I don't know.

But why he let's it go on is plain disgusting! He needs to make a public statement saying he knows it is going on and that he wants it stopped.

The thing that I think is happening is that his campaign is no longer in control.

We are disrupted by the intrusive trash talk ...threads are hijacked if we make any relevant positive position amongst ourselves. That's one of their goals.

of this board who insist that the email story is a real big deal, that the GOP did not create it, which they did of course.

If we lose the WH I know who to blame.

I'm worried about how acrimonious things are and there are other things we could all be debating, like about their platforms. It's just such an important year with the SCOTUS issue. Thanks for speaking up, it's always harder to do that in your own group.

It's actually more informative and engaging than DU. There's some twits on there, but they tend to be either easy to handle or few in number. Nothing as bad as what we have here.
