People, please get a grip!

[madaboutharry]

Reading the Latest Threads page is giving me a headache. We are all democrats and need to chill out. Can everyone please remember who we actually need to be worried about winning the election in November? Of course everyone wants their candidate to win and thinks that the person they support is better qualified, but come on. Neither Hillary or Bernie are the devil.

Peace.

[revbones]

1. Well, at least Bernie isn't. There's some question about Hillary at this point. nt

[JTFrog]

5. You still trying to peddle your bullshit here?

Hillary is the devil?

Why don't you just go play outside and let the grown ups have a discussion.

[revbones]

9. Really, I made a crack about something mentioned in the OP

and you assume I'm saying she's really the devil? You guys are pretty silly.

My assumption would be that the devil if he existed, would have more class.

[JTFrog]

16. In the words of one of my all time favorite DUer's:

"You're A Special Little Snowflake, Fella, Ain'tcha"?

GDP sure could use a good dose of The Magistrate.

[revbones]

17. Takes one to know one. But you're really showing off the intellect of Hillary followers aren't ya?

[JTFrog]

29. You mean compared to the useful idiots who have allied themselves with some of the most disgusting

right wing pieces of shit because they are so blinded by their irrational hatred of Hillary? The brilliance and compassion of the Bernie or Bust revolution is splendiferous.

[revbones]

33. Yes.

"allied themselves with some of the most disgusting right wing pieces of shit because they are so blinded by their irrational hatred of Hillary"

Wow. Let's play word jumble...

Shuffling your brilliant words around a bit, we get... "You mean compared to the the most disgusting right wing piece of shit Hillary?"

Seriously though, my hope is that somewhere deep down, you are intelligent enough to know that not everything negative about Hillary is some right wing smear. I'm just not sure why you seem to think she's such a paragon of virtue and everything negative just doesn't exist.

[JTFrog]

40. You just called Hillary a right wing piece of shit? Dude get the fuck out of here.

Go peddle your bullshit someplace else. You contribute nothing but regurgitated right wing propaganda and bashing and trashing Hillary, her supporters and the Democratic party. You sure don't seem to give a fuck about electing Democrats. I seriously doubt this is your first account on DU. Why do you keep coming back?

[revbones]

44. I just twisted your words around in a jumble. Don't use them if someone can't repeat them.

I care about real Democrats, it's a shame you don't and support Hillary.

[JTFrog]

65. Go away. n/t

[revbones]

66. Aye-aye captain! Oh wait, you're not the captain and can't issues orders... phbbt! nt

[madamesilverspurs]

30. And you are here --- why?

[potone]

74. What's happened to him?

I miss The Magistrate!

[liberal_at_heart]

2. Hillary is bringing this on herself. Her staff said she would disqualify and destroy Bernie's

campaign and the very next day she accuses him of putting gun manufacturers ahead of the victims of Sandy Hook. She is bringing this backlash on herself. She wants scorched Earth. She will get scorched Earth.

[seattleite]

4. She needs to watch her tone!

[dana_b]

8. exactly

I hope Bernie just tells the truth about her. That's enough because the truth will be damaging enough in her case.

[msongs]

18. whic person on her staff said this? nt

[Dragonfli]

37. see post #34 /nt

[Dem2]

49. He never says who told him that

"one staffer told me"

[Dragonfli]

55. Ummm he's embedded in the campaign, the standard answer is "the campaign is..."

You are into some tin foil shit here if you think he is "making stuff up", or that he should be like the first one ever to say something other than "the campaign...." If he was making it all up, which appears to be your CT, then the campaign would not allow him to tag along and cover them to get their message out, they would also immediately publicly renounce his statements as lies.

wow man, you are so, I don't know, CTish maybe?

[Dem2]

57. Yes indeed, the irony of saying I'm into some tin foil hat stuff

after what I read here daily is so outrageous that I am left (almost) speechless.

So CNN, MSNBC, Rachel, et al, get under that bus! Oh, some reporter makes a statement I want to make hay with "oh, well, of course his word is as good as gold - ignore the articles he's written showing extreme bias of late".

So yeah, the irony is so thick I may not even be able to hit the enter key to post this.

[Dragonfli]

59. It was not an opinion show host, it was the guy covering and embedded as such with her campaign

His entire function is to be used by the network for access to the campaign, and to give her campaign access to the network on what they put out.

You need a break my friend, really, you are starting to lose it, I,ve been there, I know how it can be - I got that way for a week or so in '08.

Take a short break and your advocacy will improve as well as your perspective and mood. I am saying this sincerely as one human being to another, in the end it's just a campaign, your life will live on after it, you just need a few days break and you WILL feel a lot better, and be a much more effective advocate for your beliefs.

[Dem2]

61. LMAO

Thanks for the patronizing.

Cute, but I think I'll be just fine, thanks anyway.

[Dragonfli]

63. I meant it sincerely, but even tho advice can be given honestly, it can also be rejected rudely /nt

[Dragonfli]

34. Very true, she is the one that needs to get a grip

[demigoddess]

67. you'd hear the same kind of stuff at football games,

basketball games, card games and quite a few other sports. Language is language, not opening fire with an AK-47.

[liberal_at_heart]

68. Language hurts. Families of Sandy Hook victims are condemning her use of their pain for

her own political gain. Is what Trump says just language?

[runaway hero]

3. agreed.

[hrmjustin]

6. The ignore fuction has been very useful to me.

[timmymoff]

26. Obviously

you ignore fracking, keystone, trade deals, wall st. contributions, lobbyists, her bankruptcy vote, her terrible regime change decisions. So I would agree with you, Ignore is a useful function for you.

[DesertFlower]

31. same here. i never

used it until recently.

[hrmjustin]

32. I think after tonight it is time to add more.

[Madam Mossfern]

80. Ignore is for cowards

who want to only hear what they want to hear.

[jfern]

7. The Hillary campaign said party unity will have to wait

[Joe the Revelator]

10. I'm with her. Finally. Unify later.

[fun n serious]

13. Me too. I'm with her. Unify later.. nt

[Madam Mossfern]

21. How do you plan to unify?

Many Sanders supporters will just sit out the election if Hillary is nominated. As a matter of fact some long time Democrats that I know will opt out of the party altogether if she's nominated. I don't remember a more divisive Primary....well except for 1968.

[fun n serious]

24. Oh well..

I know a lot of Democrats won't vote for Bernie and it is getting worse.. so..

[Madam Mossfern]

78. And so...

the demise of the Democratic Party.
Just for the sake of one person.

[fun n serious]

81. Yep. BERNIE. nt

[Madam Mossfern]

82. It's Hillary's camp that say

"unity later" after planned abusive behavior....as if Sanders supporters are codependents.

[nadinbrzezinski]

45. Many of teh young'uns are really not getting that ancient reference to 1968

I was not conscious back then, not even in this country, but from history reading... fully agreed.

[Madam Mossfern]

83. I'll post an article about the 1968 Democratic convention...

just for educational purposes. I was a McCarthy supporter even though I was not old enough to vote. 21 was the voting age at that time; at least we got that changed.

[baldguy]

11. Two mstakes.

1) "We" are not all Democrats.

2) Those that aren't view Clinton & the Democrats as bigger enemies than Trump, Cruz & the Republicans.

[fun n serious]

15. I can see that..

Some Democrats feel that about Bernie..

[msongs]

22. bernie is an independent running FOR the democratic party nominee AND his own senate seat as

an independent. 2 for one

[Hissyspit]

39. He filed with the FEC as a Democrat for the Presidential run.

Last edited Thu Apr 7, 2016, 04:19 AM - Edit history (1)

And has gotten millions of Democrat's votes.

[timmymoff]

28. I see two different enemies of the same corporatist camp

[baldguy]

41. The Trump campaign thanks you for your support.

[timmymoff]

43. I don't support the trump campaign, nor do I support the Hillary campaign.

Both could run on the republican platform and both do in some aspects.

[baldguy]

46. It's a winner-take-all contest.

If you don't support the Democratic nominee, the advantage automatically goes to the Republican.

Get used to loving those tiny, tiny Trump hands.

[timmymoff]

48. You sell fear like a republican

and vote like one.

[baldguy]

53. And you want to "Make America Great Again".

[timmymoff]

54. Selling fear yet again?

Vote Hillary, at least she's not Trump is an inspiring new motto.

[HassleCat]

12. Your candidate may not agree with you.

The latest word is, win now, unify later. I take that to mean getting a grip is not a concern right now.

[timlot]

14. Its too late. Bernie has brainwashed folks with all his "free" stuff talk.

Bernie is like a lottery ticket to alot of college aged young people and old like minded socialist.

[Fumesucker]

19. And Hillary is like a winning lottery ticket for the Military Industrial Complex

Who would I rather see get a winning lottery ticket, college age young people or weapons manufacturers?

[msongs]

23. Rinse and repeat. bernie is the one voting billions for the MIC every year and in return he gets

hardware

[neverforget]

56. Yeah. Hillary never voted for any of that while in the Senate.

[Lucinda]

72. +1

[RobertEarl]

36. Imagine what a young BernieBro might chose

The possibility of getting drafted and shot at, or the possibility of getting educated. Gee, and one wonders why BernieBros might exist?

[Madam Mossfern]

25. That's jus disingenuous

...and will just drive Sanders supporters away from her.
It sounds more like a Republican comment.

[Lizzie Poppet]

27. Free Republic is thataway --->

You'd likely be more comfortable there.

[Hissyspit]

35. Thanks for the right-wing talking point.

We don't get enough of those here.

"Brainwashed..." Sheesh.

[geek tragedy]

20. Not all of us are Democrats.

A lot of GD P posters will disappear after the convention

[delrem]

38. It became too late after Hillary Clinton hired David Brock for "outreach".

There can't possibly be a stupider decision than that.
But it's her style.

[Hissyspit]

75. "Book Author Says He Lied in His Attacks on Anita Hill in Bid to Aid Justice Thomas"

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/27/us/book-author-says-he-lied-his-attacks-anita-hill-bid-aid-justice-thomas.html

[litlbilly]

42. Im sorry, but Hillary has just crossed that line and there's no going back from that

[Xyzse]

47. I can't believe how Hillary went and did that. I apologize but she has gone too far.

You do not accuse another Democrat or a Primary candidate with such a low blow.
Accusing someone of siding with the NRA in regards to Sandy Hook? I can see that coming from one of her supporters, but from her tweet itself?

By sending out that tweet, she absolutely started this, and I thought I could vote for her, but this is really making it hard for me to even consider her at all with this vile pettiness. (Please note, that I will vote and work for the local elections no matter what, but at this time, I just can't understand why she would cross such a line.)

Realize, that she is already disliked by a vast swath of voters, the Independents, she bands Republicans like no other to try to defeat her, and then she does something like that?

Why would she do something so childish and dumb?
Just to score political points?

I am sorry, you just don't do that.

Sanders' twitter response, just added to the flames, but this should not have started to begin with. There are so many other valid points of attack. Using tragedy in this manner is abhorrent.

Quite disappointed.

[phleshdef]

50. You are right, none of them are the devil. But the phony attacks against Bernie are getting to me.

I'm being reminded every day why I supported Barack Obama in 2008 (and honestly, I wish I could just vote for him again).

[Hydra]

51. Hillary declared war on her own party

She's basically declared that the party and the people in it are less important to her than her need to sit in the Oval Office.

Don't worry about November- She obviously isn't.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

52. dino's are democrats

and it is sad

[AgerolanAmerican]

58. I tried

but every Hillary fan I engage with is too slippery to get a grip

[felix_numinous]

60. A pie fight scene from Marx brothers movie

just popped in my head for some reason

[Beacool]

62. I have no intention of taking him seriously anymore.

I was outraged when his campaign came up with the idea of suggesting that super delegates should change their allegiance to him, even if Hillary arrives at the convention with more pledged delegates. Now he has the nerve to call her unqualified to be president.

Well, I don't even consider him to be a Democrat, let alone qualified to become the party's standard bearer.

[jamwich]

64. Check your wording please.

You misrepresented his words there. He said that after gathering as many delegates as he could before reaching the convention, he would then ask the super delegates to consider changing their allegiance in states where he won by a sizable amount. What's not fair about that? It would more fairly represent the voters in that state.

[madaboutharry]

69. I usually respond at some point

when I start a thread. But I really don't know what to say. 😔

[Tragl1]

70. Have a beer

[WiffenPoof]

71. I've also grown tired...

...Of the crap.

[pantsonfire]

73. We are all not democrats.....we may vote democrat, doesn't mean we identify as such..

Is the Democratic in Democratic Underground, reserved for only loyalists to the democrat party?

[snowy owl]

76. Each of us wants the best person to win.

It's a campaign. Just like 2008. Why worry about it? Do you really think the republicans can win this year? They're having more trouble. I do worry about Kasich.

[RiverLover]

77. We are fighting ag a conservative DINO & FOR what it means to be a Democrat.

Its the bigger fight.

[HughLefty1]

79. Third Way Hillary as bad as most of the GOP

OK the exception is creepy Cruz, that guy is downright dangerous. If he and HRC were the GE nominees *ugh* I would rush to my local voting booth in November to vote HRC. Otherwise I really don't see much difference between HRC's policies and the GOP establishment.
