seriously.. I love politics and commenting and reading.. but some of you have let yourselves go to the dark side.. I would rather remember you as rational and even passionate posters than people who have let their politics drag them down into a deep hole of loathing..
I will tune back in when the bile settles down..(and I thought religion chat could get brutal)

(13,685 posts)The absolute hate spewed by the Hillary supporters is sickening. I don't blame you for leaving.

(13,685 posts)The hate for war and banksters and big money and bad politics is not personal. H just happens to represent wall street so she's getting hit. She should just step aside, like jeb did.

(23,867 posts)So I feel responsible for bringing the level of discussion down a little. Some seem to not want to discuss the core Dem visions, and would rather keep voting in ways that don't help those who need help. And it feels as if it's being flaunted in the face of it. Emotions do cause trouble.

(11,649 posts)once that didn't even defend hillary -- just a link that colin powell had used private e-mail. i can't even repeat the things that were said, but the worst was i was called "undemocratic".
the weird thing was i was a bernie supporter at the time. had his picture as my avatar.
some people are just so full of hate.
cui bono
(19,926 posts)Bernie supporters are not outright lying about Hillary and waging swiftboat attacks and smears and charges of racism based on lies.
It's not the same thing at all.
You crack me up, Bob!

(72,790 posts)Folks on both sides take a message board way too seriously.
I like when it's "this bad". Makes it fun. Politics is dirty afterall.
