The attacks against Hillary around here smack of purist extremism and outright fear.

The continual anti-Hillary attacks are all about purist extremism and obvious fear. Obviously some don't have enough confidence in their own candidate and think the only way to win is to tear down the other. One of these two will be the nominee. BOTH are PROGRESSIVE. BOTH are a THOUSAND times better than ANY of the ReSCUMlicans. Anyone who claims to be for Bernie who would INSANELY sit out or vote for a RePUKE if Hillary is the nominee is just that, INSANE. Maybe its time to start aiming the fire at the ReSCUMlicans and not our own.

That does not reflect my impression at all

2. Apparently the HRC talking point today is

'Purist".

3. It is part of Sanders rhetoric

He doesn't really care that racists and sexists align to his vision of fighting the establishment and nothing else. These are often individuals who might otherwise sit out an election because they don't think the candidate is extreme enough. Even some of his followers want nothing more than to see the Democratic party face the same internal turmoil the republicans are facing.

9. "It is part of Sanders rhetoric"?????

"He doesn't really care that racists and sexists align to his vision"...

What horseshit.

4. The people aren't being represented. What you see is people finally waking up to the problem.

Now we have a solution, and we won't take less. Less than full democracy is unacceptable.

5. And the motives behind your attacks on Bernie are as pure as the new fallen snow.

how many bridges you got for sale?

6. They sure do.

7. "Purist Extremism". aka Principles

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. John Quincy Adams

8. Why just mention Hillary?

Apparently anti-Bernie attacks are fine with you.

10. The DU headlines today are

pathetic hyperbolic anti-Clinton drivel.

CDS (Clinton Derangement Syndrome) is rampant. Shame on ANY Dem who is participating in smear tactics!

11. Thank you for bringing a note of reason to this site.

In my relatively long political experience, I have never seen such viciousness expressed for members of one's own party. Express your passion about policy differences. That is the purpose of the primary season to find out who better expresses your policy positions. Leave the personal atacks for the other side. Both of our candidates are great Americans and decent people who are motivated to make this country a better place. They differ on their policies and their philosophy. And that is where our battles on DU need to stay for the good of the party and the good of the country.
