Poll question: What to do now? Clinton supporters particularly welcome

This board is in flux. I'm getting different senses of the situation from different posters. Some seem to think Obama and Clinton are still at total war. Others of us think the war is many times over.

What should Obama supporters do now?

1. Supporters of both candidates should treat each other

with the respect they both deserve and continue the campaign until all states have voted. Then we can all support the winner at that time.

2. In answer to your question.,,

They should work like hell to get Obama elected. Focus on the issues, fund the campaign, and send good thoughts that Hill will realize the damage she is doing to the country and call this thing already.

3. We are all Dems.

If we start attacking one another than John will have a clear shot to the white house.

9. It doesn't matter!

Everyone, especially Obama supporters, knows that the stupid thing's over.

The question is how to disarm Clinton and make her supporters know that they have always been welcome.

10. I have never considered them to be unwelcome (by me)

While I've let slip a crude joke about Hillary now and then, I've tried to be respectful all along and on a couple of occasions, even have stepped up to defend Hillary against what I thought to be unfair attacks.

12. Kiss, she needs us.

If Hillary's campaign is running on division,

we must cut the fuel supply.

22. That's true on both sides.

No one is running on division now, because, in fact, the war is over. We are together whether we recognize it or not.

13. Ignore her and Bill completely. Let them figure out how to save what little of dignity they have.

I'm very unhappy with the racial crap. It's vile. I don't know if I will ever forgive them. I don't think I will.

14. "Respect they deserve" is the operative term.

Friendship met with the same, trolling and character assassination met with jeers and ridicule.

Be that big.

And back it up by letting people on your own side know.

19. Actually I have reached out to two folks who are...uh....

more than simple hillary supporters.

Too soon to tell what the outcome will be.

Sooner or later it'll be worked out. Sooner I hope.

I still reserve the rigjt to ridicule certain "candidates" who might resort to racism, class-ism, or the kitchen sink to steal a presidential election...

20. I cleared my ignore list out the other day and gave everyone a clean slate

As of right now, 5 of those people are back on the ignore list. It seems they just aren't ready to give up the division and hate tactics. I'm done with "reaching out" to that particular element.

But I have always drawn the distinction between Clinton supporters and Hillbots. And I welcome the Clinton supporters and (to borrow a phrase from their hero) "feel their pain". I was a Deaniac in 2004 and though I don't agree that Hillary got a raw deal, I do know what it's like to feel that way. :grouphug:

21. People have to AFFIRMATIVELY ACT and PROMOTE PEACE.

Otherwise posters will continue with the reactionary stuff.

We have to WANT this, coming back together. It won't happen on its own.

Reach out and show your fellow Dems that you care.
