Olive Branch or Schadenfreude? (Hillary group)

[Chichiri]

When Hillary clinches the nomination, what will your attitude be toward the Bernie supporters?

I think there's arguments for each. On the one hand, an olive branch would make us look good, and might actually do something to seal the divide going into the general. On the other hand, aside from being so cathartic, schadenfreude would be both just and useful. It would drive away those who can't keep their stuff together following the post-clinch jubilee (the period of a few days when Bernie supporters can vent as much as they want before buckling down and supporting Hillary).

I can't decide. What do you think?

1. NO REPUBLICANS EVER!

2. If other people want to deal with them, whatever.

Personally, I don't want to have to. The people who will come over
will, the others are a problem for someone else.

3. I chose Olive Branch

...but my ultimate course of action will be internal gloating coupled with external ignoring them. Most will drift away, back to whatever subterranean hole deep beneath a bridge that they crawled out of.

4. Ignore.

[BainsBane]

5. I welcome anyone's supports for Hillary and the Dem party

Regardless of who they supported in the primary. If they share that goal, great. If not, that's their problem.

Publically

7. Olive branch. No sense in letting Rove divide Democrats - even barely-Democrats - among us all.

I'll take the Obama strategy of reconciliation rather than the "everything or nothing" approach, which is more in line with Bernie Sanders and his supporters.

8. Olive branch, definitely.

Many of my friends are Bernie supporters and they have their reasons to support him. I respect their right to cast their vote as they choose, and they respect mine.

No matter who wins, in the fall we are going to need to band together to stop the Republican runaway train.

9. How about schadenfreude for a week

Then make nice.

10. A headline in my facebook feed yesterday...

... informed me that Hillary Clinton supporters are almost certainly "mentally challenged" (this was coming from a supposed Democratic group). I'm voting for schadenfreude, at least in the short term.

11. Olive branch.

Reluctantly

[great white snark]

12. The Dems will support Hillary. The others who are too righteous for a party affiliation....f@%k 'em.

I want no part of sanctimonious liberals who instead of working to "seal the divide" methodically drive out the very people I hold dear.
