I am a Bernie supporter.

I was called a Puma even though I campaigned for and supported Obama when he won the nom... for like a year AFTER Hillary pulled out of the race. I still have assholes on ignore from 2008-2009 because they just would not stop slinging shit at anyone who had not supported Obama.

This type of behavior widens the divide between democrats/progressives/liberal and does exactly NOTHING to stop Trump moving into the WH.

Can we please treat each other with some decency and leave the poo slinging to Trump supporters?

I voted for Obama twice and worked for his campaign as a volunteer twice. I also worked on behalf of Tim Ryan and Sherrod Brown. I am a Democrat. I always vote Dem...always. I vote in every election. I did not think Bernie could win but I actually voted for him in Ohio. However, his behavior and that of some of his supporters have been terrible of late. He needs to go.
