Bernie or busters say screw unity

I do too. To the ones who won't vote for Hillary.

I don't take kind to being held hostage by a bunch of sore losers willing to cut off their nose to spite their face.

Nor do I take kindly to having ultimatums shoved down my throat by those who demand I treat them with respect when disrespect is all they are giving.

You do not get to say "I will never vote for Hillary" and then claim I'm the one preventing you from unifying. That's just crazy bass ackwards thinking and really immature and childish behavior.

The supporters are not the same they do not want the same things to occur. Why don't you HRC supporters get the fact that it's apples and oranges. You never did.

This is utter BS ... you don't get to decide ... voters will decide if they are republican or Democrats ... as long we have a two party system, there are two choices. If you want to change it, start to change the system from the ground up ... that is how you start a revolution ... if you don't have support in the House and Senate, the revolution will never take off

Hillary Clinton says about 40 percent of her supporters vowed not to support Obama, but most of them came around. I guess that's what will happen to most of the Bernie or Bust people.

Attempt to overturn the fair result. Throw temper tantrums. Threaten riots. Bring lawsuits. Call the race rigged. The process corrupt. All because they lost and just cant accept reality.

for months dominated DU with anti-Clinton posts, many ridiculing Clinton supporters for their alleged "plantation" mentality.

They've also taken over the jury system and repeatedly allowed hateful post like the Stockholm syndrome crap to stand.

Many have repeated declared pride in being Bernie or Busters even while Clinton supporters vow to vote for whoever wins the nomination.

That's the other perspective, and now that they are losing, they complain about sore winners after all the dirt that was done.

Yeah, right.

far outnumbered Hillary supporters and not because the owner of the site did us any favors. Any favors on this site went to Hillary supporters. He even created a separate site for you all. And the bile from your side on this site to Sanders and his supporters was still overwhelming.

Now, Hillary has hired reinforcements for you. And you all still are angry. It's unreal. Now I must leave you.

"Unity" is NEVER going to rise out of that kind of attitude.

Neither is the "Your guy lost but you just can't get over it."

So much of the back-and-forth here completely misses the point, and it will probably stay that way until Skinner "calls it."

The true childishness stems from anyone saying otherwise.

That you don't "take kindly" to that is just something I guess I'll have to *sniff!* shed a tear and live with.

By taking away all of their federal dollars because Sanders has run longer than you would have liked. That's no way to bring about unity.

No more estabishment, no more Democratic Party-ing like it's 1999. If that is what you want, you're on your own, just like you support policies that leave me on my own. Screw the kind of 'unity' where 1 % gets all it wants, and millennials especially get screwed over and over.
