Reply #229: (Ignoring the snark) I made an Agreement when I signed up on DU to respect the rules.

I don't see anything being asked that's inconsistent with that. I'm NOT a 'Democrat' - I'm an independent liberal and I don't as yet (in over 6 years) see any problem complying with the rules and maintaining my personal integrity.

Quite frankly, I find it (sardonically) laughable as Hell that (so-called) "Democrats" seem to be having such a problem supporting THEIR party nominee. It seems to me that's EXACTLY what it means to anoint one's self with the partisan label of "Democrat" - agreeing to unanimously support the winner of the party's nomination process (which is 99% primaries and caucuses). I see one helluva lot of hypocrisy in the whining and gnashing of teeth that's going on. Spoiled children and "high maintenance" people. For over 6 years, I've read posts by self-anointed "Democrats" (measuring the length of their partisan credential) with some bemusement - only to see many of the same folks violating their own oft-proclaimed partisan loyalties. If I, as an independent liberal, can abide by the letter AND spirit of the DU rules, I have absolutely no sympathy for the (so-called) "Democrats" doing all the whining and throwing tantrums.

Fuck 'em.
